LUMINESCENT COMPOUNDS

摘要

Luminescent reporter compounds that are rotaxanes having the structure: (Formula I); where B - Z - C is a reporter molecule based on a cyanine, squaric acid, or other reporter, and K is a macrocycle that encircles and interlocks with the reporter molecule. Applications of the reporter compounds are provided, as well as reactive intermediates used to synthesize the reporter compounds, and methods of synthesizing the reporter compounds.
