"Fluoro" refers to both fluorescent and fluorinated compounds. Despite the shared prefix, there are very few fluorescent molecules that are soluble in perfluorinated solvents. This paucity is surprising, given that optical microscopy is a ubiquitous technique throughout the physical sciences and the orthogonality of fluorous materials is a commonly exploited strategy in synthetic chemistry, materials science, and chemical biology. We have addressed this shortage by synthesizing a panel of "fluorofluorophores," fluorescent molecules containing high weight percent fluorine with optical properties spanning the visible spectrum. We demonstrate the utility of these fluorofluorophores by preparing fluorescent perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions.
“Fluoro”同时指代荧光和
氟化化合物。尽管它们共享同一个前缀,但能够溶解在
全氟 solvent 中的荧光分子却十分稀缺。这种稀缺性令人感到意外,因为光学显微镜在物理科学领域无处不在,而强疏
氟特性这一材料属性在合成
化学生物学以及材料科学领域被广泛应用。我们通过合成一系列“含
