title: Polycyclic aromatic isothiocyanate compounds as fluorescent labeling reagents.
abstract: Polycyclic aromatic isothiocyanates were synthesized in an attempt to produce new fluorescent agents for protein labeling and for use in microanalytical techniques. The relative fluorescence of these reagents, the required intermediates, and the derivatives were established. Of the compounds evaluated, the 9-acridine derivatives were the most promising.
