Symmetrical dicarbocyanine dyes are known to cooperatively assemble on DNA templates. With the goal of developing dyes that are capable of template-free self-assembly, two N-linked dimeric benzothiazole containing pentamethine ...

A simple fluorophore bearing a diethylaminocoumarin donor and a pyridinium acceptor was synthesized and utilized for the ultra-sensitive detection of heparin. The synthesized dicationic push–pull coumarin derivative emits ...
