Abstract

Two asymmetrical benzoxanthene dyes (BP-1 and BP-2) were designed and synthesized by a convenient one-step procedure from naphthaldehyde and m-aminophenol precursors. These dyes showed long-wavelength absorption, near-infrared emission (>650 nm), and large Stokes shifts (>90 nm) because of the asymmetrical introduction of the benzene ring into the xanthene structure. BP-1 exhibited high fluorescence quantum yield in organic solvents, whereas BP-2 showed very weak fluorescence due to the photoinduced electron transfer of 9-substituted groups. Cell experiments indicated that BP-1 with crescent-shape structure showed lower cytotoxicity and higher photostability than BP-2 and could rapidly stain RNA in nucleoli at low concentration.
