<div style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt">The synthesis of organic fluorophores that absorb and emit from the UV to the far red and near infra-red spectral regions will be described. This includes a unique organic red-green-blue (RGB) white light emitting fluorophore, as well as the synthesis of a organic dye with a 200 nm Stokes shift whose emission appears in the near infra-red spectral region. Structurally-related dyes serve as chemosensors and the basis for investigating the biochemical mechanisms of sugars, nucleosides, amino acids and peptides.</div>Dept. of Chemistry, Portland State University2009-05-06T18:32:14-07:00Xian70Fulmer 438Prof. Rob StronginOrganic Dyes for White Light, Near IR Emission and the Study and Detection of Disease 2009-09-24T15:06:18-07:00
