Characterizing 3,5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene imidazolinone (DFHBI) Electron Distribution and its Effect on Fluorescence
Abstract: My study draws on changes to a chromophore’s electron distribution (in the ground and excited states) effectiveness to its brightness. After the consumption of a photon, the atoms’ partial charges in DFHBI move. DFHBI is membrane permeable and nontoxic fluorogenic, which generates fluorescence upon binding. The DFHBI shows insignificant fluorescence in solution. Using existing … Read more
