title: Photochemical generation of a new, highly fluorescent compound from non-fluorescent resveratrol.
abstract: UV irradiation of trans-resveratrol leads to its photochemical transformation to a new, highly fluorescent compound, whose chemical structure was unambiguously identified. The new compound has large values of fluorescence quantum yield, Stokes' shift, and two-photon absorption cross section, which make it suitable for bio-imaging, multi-color labeling, and two-photon microscopy.
