Design, synthesis, and biological application of A–D–A-type boranil fluorescent dyes

Abstract

For the first time, three acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type Boranil fluorescent dyes, CSU-BF-R (R = H, CH3, OCH3), featuring phenothiazine as the donor, were designed and synthesized. CSU-BF-R exhibited remarkable photophysical...
