A series of novel 8‐amino BODIPY profluorescent nitroxides and the corresponding N‐ethoxyamine derivatives were synthesized with varying substitution and molecular geometries. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction data for the three 8‐amino BODIPY nitroxides were obtained. UV‐Vis absorption and emission data for the profluorescent nitroxides and 8‐amino BODIPY N‐ethoxyamine derivatives were examined to assess the utility of these compounds as fluorescent probes.
Herein we present a novel silver complex [Ag(qBODIPY)(CFSO)] (1) that exhibits dramatic increase in fluorescence upon silver release. Complex 1 has a minimum inhibitory concentration comparable to that of silver nitrate. Confocal microscopy was used to track the delivery of silver to bacterial targets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
