Design and Synthesis of a Chemiluminescent Solvatochromic Dye
Chemiluminescent solvatochromic dye has been synthesized by the condensation of a chemiluminescent moiety into a fluorescent solvatochromic dye via the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. The chemiluminescent wavelength is shifted by solvent polarity, and ratiometric measurement enables the accurate determination of the proportion of water in an aqueous acetone solution.
