Fluorescence labeling is a very important analytical technique for probing the structure of living cells. Inorganic quantum dots have been used in immunofluorscence labeling due to their high quantum yield, high molar extinction coefficients, broad absorption with narrow light emission, and good photo physical and chemical stability. Despite of these promising properties of semi-conducting quantum dots for fluorescence labeling, cyto-toxicity is a critical problem in any living cell or animal experiments. Thus, developing highly emissive, biocompatible, and chemically readily modifiable luminescent materials is strongly desired. Here, we report the enhanced photoluminescence of a quinoline derivative for possible use in the field of immunofluorescence labelling. |
