A modular assembly of water-soluble diarylethenes (DAEs), applicable as biomarkers for
optical nanoscopy, is reported. Reversibly photoswitchable 1,2-bis(2-alkyl-6-phenyl-1-…

We have designed and synthesized a new functional (amino reactive) highly efficient fluorescent
molecular switch (FMS) with a photochromic diarylethene and a rhodamine fluorescent …

Reversibly photoswitchable 1,2‐bis(2‐ethyl‐6‐phenyl‐1‐benzothiophene‐1,1‐dioxide‐3‐yl)perfluorocyclopentenes
(EBT) having fluorescent “closed” forms were decorated with four or …

Photoswitchable fluorophores─proteins and synthetic dyes─whose emission is reversibly
switched on and off upon illumination, are powerful probes for bioimaging, protein tracking, …

The controlled switching of fluorophores between non-fluorescent and fluorescent states is
central to every super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (nanoscopy) technique, and the …

We synthesized five fluorophore–photochrome dyads designed to switch reversibly between
nonfluorescent and fluorescent isomers under optical control. These compounds pair an …

New photostable rhodamine dyes represented by the compounds 1 a–r and 3–5 are proposed
as efficient fluorescent markers with unique combination of structural features. Unlike …

The design, synthesis, and evaluation of new rhodamine spiroamides are described. These
molecules have applications in optical nanoscopy based on random switching of the …

Spectral stability of small-molecule fluorescent probes is required for correct interpretation
and reproducibility of multicolor fluorescence imaging data, in particular under high (de)…

The use of photoswitchable fluorescent diarylethenes (fDAEs) as protein labels in fluorescence
microscopy and nanoscopy has been limited by labeling inhomogeneity and the need for …
