Abstract

The labeling of molecules with charge-transfer dyes, such as 5-(dimethylamino)-1- napthalenesulfonyl (dansyl) chloride, is a powerful tool for examining the solvent shell of attached substances. This investigation describes the synthesis and application of a new charge transfer label, based on trans-1-[p-(N, N-dimethylamino) phenyl]-trans-4-(p- nitrophenyl)-1, 3-butadiene (NND). Unlike many commonly used fluorophores, the ...
