A Unique Aliphatic Tertiary Amine Chromophore: Fluorescence, Polymer Structure, and Application in Cell Imaging
Abstract
Although photoluminescence of tertiary aliphatic amines has been extensively studied, the usage of this fundamental chromophore as a fluorescent probe for various applications has unfortunately not been realized because their uncommon fluorescence is easily quenched, and strong fluorescence has been observed only in vapor phase. The objective of this study is how to retain the strong fluorescence of tertiary amines in polymers. Tertiary amines as branching units of the hyperbranched poly(amine-ester) (HypET) display relatively strong fluorescence (Φ = 0.11-0.43). The linear polymers with tertiary amines in the backbone or as the side group are only very weakly fluorescent. The tertiary amine of HypET is easily oxidized under ambient conditions, and red-shifting of fluorescence for the oxidized products has been observed. The galactopyranose-modified HypET exhibits low cytotoxicity and bright cell imaging. Thus, this study opens a new route of synthesizing fluorescent materials for cell imaging, biosensing, and drug delivery.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
