Two new fluorinated fluorescent dyes, 6,8-difluoro-7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (Marina Blue(TM)) and 3-carboxy-6,8-difluoro-7-hydroxycoumarin (Pacific Blue(TM)), exhibit excellent photophysical properties among a series of novel fluorinated 7-hydroxycoumarins. Most of these fluorinated coumarins have quantum yields (0.63 to 0.89) equal to or higher than that of the parent compound (0.63), which, in combination with their lower pK(a)s and higher photostability, make them superior fluorescent dyes fbr use as reporter molecules in biological systems.
