Abstract
A new tetrathiafulvalene-anthracene dyad 1 with two “tetraethylene glycol” units was synthesized and characterized. Strong chemiluminescence was observed upon reaction of dyad 1 with singlet oxygen (1O2), and this reaction shows fairly good selectivity toward 1O2 over other reactive oxygen species. Due to the introduction of two hydrophilic “tetraethylene glycol” units, the detection of 1O2 with dyad 1 can be performed in alcohol/water solution, which is relatively a mild medium when compared with water/tetrahydrofuran solution required by other tetrathiafulvalene-anthracene dyads. Dyad 1 may have a wider use for detection of 1O2 in biological systems.
