Abstract:
We report the synthesis, X-ray crystal structures and photophysics of new donor-acceptor oligomers of fluorene (F) and dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide (S) with constrained dihedral angles in the backbone. The materials display bright deep-blue fluorescence and evidence is presented for a planarised intramolecular charge-transfer (PICT) state in the F-S systems.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
