The synthesis and characterization of a bis(2-dimethylaminothien-5-yl)curcumin boron difluoride chromophore is presented. Photophysical, electrochemical and computational investigations establish the properties of its absorption in the Vis-NIR spectral range relative to established curcumin dyes. Application of this thienyl curcumin dye as a photoacoustic contrast agent is investigated against the dicarbocyanine Cy5 dye in the 675-735 nm excitation range.
本文介绍了一种双(2-二甲氨基噻吩-5-基)姜黄素硼酸二氟络合物的合成与表征。光物理、电化学和计算研究确立了其在可见-近红外光谱范围内吸收的性质,与已建立的姜黄素染料相对比。在 675-735nm 激发范围内,将这种噻吩基姜黄素染料作为光声对比剂进行了研究,与二碳菁染料 Cy5 进行了对比。
