Hydrogen-bonding-induced bathochromic effect of Si-coumarin and its use in monitoring adipogenic differentiation†
Abstract
Introduction of a heteroatom into a fluorophore was carried out for coumarin through a replacement of its bridging oxygen atom with a silicon atom. The maximum-emission wavelength of Si-coumarin (SiC B) bathochromically shifted from 426 nm in cyclohexane to 626 nm in water. The adipogenic differentiation processes in mesenchymal stem cells were monitored using SiC B.
