Abstract
This paper reported the synthesis of hexaarylbiimidazole-tetraphenylethene (HABI-TPE) conjugated photochromic fluorophore, which simultaneously exhibited photochromic property, condensed state enhanced emission and reversible fluorescence switching. Upon UV irradiation, a green species with a broad absorption band between 550 and 800 nm ( the absorption maximum at 697 nm ) was observed, which readily faded to colorless in the darkness. HABI-TPE launched strong fluorescence with the maximum emission wavelength at 520-580 nm under the excitation with 450-500 nm visible light in condensed state, which is in contrast to nonfluorescence in solution. The maximum emission wavelength in condensed state was dependent of excitation wavelength. More interestingly, HABI-TPE exhibited reversible fluorescence switching upon alternating irradiation with blue or near-UV light (wavelength less than 490 nm) and green light (more than 490 nm) in condensed state. Our evaluation demonstrated that HABI-TPE exhibited great photoswitchable fluorescence, which is a promising photoswitchable fluorophore for localization-based super-resolution microscopy, evidencing by resolving nanostructures with sub-100 nm resolution in polymethylmethacrylate films.
