Abstract

Nine new 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives as fluorescent molecular sensors having two well- separated emission bands were synthesized. These sensors can occupy well-determined locations and orientations in macromolecular ensembles, such as micelles due to their finely- tuned designs. These polarity-sensitive dyes can incorporate into the anhydrous hydrophobic core of aqueous micelles.
