title: Synthesis and fluorescence properties of novel pyrazine-boron complexes bearing a β-iminoketone ligand.
abstract: A novel fluorescence dye based on pyrazine-boron complexes bearing a β-iminoketone ligand has been synthesized by using a simple two-step reaction. Synthesized complexes exhibited fluorescence in solution (F(max): 472-604 nm) and in the solid state (F(max): 496-624 nm). These complexes showed a larger Stokes shift (3690-4900 cm(-1)) than well-known boron dipyrromethene dyes (400-600 cm(-1), in most cases).
