Abstract:
Two unprecedented fluorescent nucleosides that feature BN-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are presented. One of them, having a BN-modified phenanthrene moiety incorporated, shows blue fluorescence but suffers from poor stability under aqueous conditions. The other nucleoside comprises an internally BN-doped pyrene as the chromophore. It shows green fluorescence in various solvents and is stable under aqueous and alkaline conditions.
