Abstract: The present invention relates to novel fluorinated 3,6-diaminoxanthene compounds derived from the basic structural formula (I) and to their uses as photostable fluorescent dyes, e.g. for immunostainings and spectroscopic and microscopic applications, in particular in conventional microscopy, stimulated emission depletion (STED) reversible saturable optically linear fluorescent transitions (RESOLFT) microscopy, and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The claimed compounds are also useful as molecular probes in various spectroscopic applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel photoactivable rhodamine or carbopyronine derivatives of the following general formulae G1-G4 (I), G1: A1=O, A2=N, A3=C; G2: A1=S, A2=N, A3=C; G3: A1=O, A2=O, A3=N; G4: A1=S, A2=O, A3=N; comprising UV light absorbing chromophores which after photolysis by irradiation at 254-490 nm (preferably at 375-420 nm) generate fluorescent rhodamine or carbopyronine derivatives and small non-toxic fragments such as N2 or N2O. The invention also relates to methods for preparing such compounds and to the use of these compounds for optical microscopy and imaging techniques.
