Synthesis Of New Ttf-Anthracene Dyads As Potential Fluorescence Probe For O-1(2)

Three new fluorescence probes for O-1(2) with different electron-rich tetrathiafulvalene and anthracene units have been synthesized and characterized. Among them, compound 3c, 2,3-bis[2-(9-anthryloxy)ethylthio]-6,7(propylenedithio)-1,4,5,8-tetrathiafulvalene, is very sensitive and may act as the fluorescence probe for O-1(2).
