Abstract

A new family of azaborine fluorophores, consisting of ten compounds, has been developed that mimics the chromophore of green fluorescent protein, with conformation locked by a hydroxyboron bridge. These fluorophores exhibit fluorescence Stokes shifts up to 100 nm (0.56 eV) and high brightness (>104 M−1 cm−1 ) in the 408−525 nm range. Their potential utility for sensing applications was demonstrated by constructing zinc sensors capable of detecting 100 micromolar Zn2+ concentrations in biological systems with twophoton microscopy.
