Exploiting the versatile assembly of arylpyridine fluorophores for wavelength tuning and SAR.
[reaction: see text] The facile modular assembly of polyarylpyridine fluorophores provides two important advantages in the development of fluorescent chemosensors: it allows rapid dissection of the structural requirements for fluorescent chemosensing and it allows dramatic tuning of emission wavelength by changes in a substituent remote from the binding site.
