Decoupling viscosity induced fluorescence from HSA-induced absorption modulation in a chromyl-naphthyl molecular rotor.
Molecular rotors are valuable probes for studying local microenvironments because their optical behavior is closely linked to conformational dynamics. In this study, a chromyl-naphthyl (HCNP) donor-π-acceptor molecular rotor was developed for viscosity-responsive fluorescence and selective interaction with human serum...
