PYRIDYL-AZA(THIO)XANTHONE SENSITIZER COMPRISING LANTHANIDE(III) ION COMPLEXING COMPOUNDS, THEIR LUMINESCENT LANTHANIDE (III) ION COMPLEXES AND USE THEREOF AS FLUORESCENT LABELS.

摘要

Lanthanide (III) Ion completing compound comprising: (1) a sensitizer moiety of Formula (I) in which: a is an integer from 1 to 4; b is an integer equal to 1 or 2; c is an integer equal to 1 or 2; (R1)a, (R2)b, (R3)C are the same or different and are chosen from the group consisting of H; alkyl; -COOR4 where R4 is H or an alkyl; aryl; heteroaryl; saturated or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon; CF3; CN; a halogen atom; L-Rg; L-Sc; or two consecutive R3, two consecutive R2 or two consecutive R1 groups together form an aryl or a heteroaryl group or a saturated or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon group; where L is a linker, Rg is a reactive group and Sc is a conjugated substance; X1 and X2 are the same or different and are O or S; A is either a direct bond or a divalent group chosen from -CH2- or -(CH2)2-, said moiety being covalentiy attached to (2) a lanthanide (in) ion chelating moiety through A. The above compounds are used in the preparation of luminescent lanthanide (III) ion complexes which are used as fluorescent labels.
