Communications - Synthesis of and fluorescent imaging with a polymer having t-BOC-protected quinizarin moieties
Finely resolved fluorescent images can be generated from a non-fluorescent precursor polymer film via photolithography. The synthesis of the precursor polymer from methyl methacrylate and the t-BOC-protected quinizarin monomer shown in the Figure is reported as is the method for subsequent deprotection of the polymer and the generation of patterned color and fluorescent images.
