Usage

General Description

Fluorescent brightener 140, also known as C.I. 45174, is a chemical compound commonly used in laundry detergents, paper, and plastic industries. It is a fluorescent dye that absorbs UV light and emits visible blue light, making fabrics appear brighter and whites appear whiter. It works by binding to the fabric and reflecting light in a way that enhances the appearance of the material. However, there have been concerns about its environmental impact and potential health hazards, as it may persist in the environment and cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Therefore, its use is regulated in some countries and industries to minimize its potential negative effects.

Taking advantage of the aromatisation of 7-diethylamino-4-methyl-3,4-dihydrocoumarin in the fluorescence sensing of superoxide anion

The aromatisation of 7-diethylamino-3,4-dihydrocoumarin provides an alternative fluorescent probing technique to selectively detect the concentration of superoxide anion in solution. In addition, we reported the advantage of evaluating O2- sensing probes

Permethylated NHC-Capped α- and β-Cyclodextrins (ICyDMe) Regioselective and Enantioselective Gold-Catalysis in Pure Water

A series of water-soluble encapsulated copper(I), silver(I) or gold(I) complexes based on NHC-capped permethylated cyclodextrins (ICyDMe) were developed and used as catalysts in pure water for hydration, lactonization, hydroarylation and cycloisomerization reactions. ICyDMe ligands gave cavity-based high regioselectivity in hydroarylations, and high enantioselectivities in gold-catalyzed cycloisomerizations reactions giving up to 98 % ee in water. These ICyDMe are therefore useful ligands for selective catalysis in pure water.

Synthesis and fluorescent properties of coumarin-benzimidazole and coumarin–phenanthroimidazole hybrids

Two coumarin-benzimidazole hybrids and two coumarin-phenanthroimidazole conjugates were conveniently synthesized and characterized. The UV–vis absorption, emission spectra, absolute quantum yields, and fluorescence lifetimes of these compounds in diluted dichloromethane solutions were measured.
