X Abstract

We highlight our recent achievements in the design of fluorescent dyes for the investigation of chemical reactions on the single-molecule level. These fluorophores are tailored to undergo changes in their photophysical properties upon chemical transformations. Three examples are presented: electrophilic aromatic substitution, phosphoester cleavage, and oxidation of double-bonds. Thin-layer chromatography and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy are used to separate and characterize the different reaction products, respectively. We are planning to develop more fluorescent synthons which enable us to perform single-molecule chemistry of various reactions. 10.1196/annals.1430.006

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
