A novel and unusually long-lived chemiluminophore based on the 7-hydroxycoumarin scaffold

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c1cc11919b

Synthesis and chemiluminescent properties of a new 1,2-dioxetane chemiluminophore bearing a 7-hydroxycoumarin moiety are presented. The 1,2-dioxetane decomposition ended up with strong and long-lived emission of light. This new structure opens way to the development of a new generation of bright chemiluminescent bio-probes.
