Triggerable dioxetanes with a fluorescent substituent bonded or tethered in the dioxetane so as to produce fluorescence from the group are described. The compounds are of the formula: STR1 wherein R1, R2 and R3 are carbon containing groups and wherein one of R1, R2 and R3 is a tethered fluorescent substitutent. The compounds are useful in immunoassays and in probes using enzymes or other chemicals for triggering the dioxetanes to produce light from the fluorescent molecule in the group as a signal.
