π-Extended diphosphonium-bridged ladder stilbenes: water-soluble fluorophores with up to eight annulated rings

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ]phosphole salts in aqueous solution, linearly π-extended anthraceno-fused derivatives were developed in order to bathochromically shift their emissions into the biological window. While detailed optoelectronic studies confirmed our expectations, the utmost remarkable observation is that even the anthraceno-fused materials were found to be sufficiently soluble in water, despite the fact that these fluorophores comprise up to eight fused rings.
