  • DYES IN DYE AGGREGATE SYSTEMS - ENGINEERING J, K, AND DYE PACKING
    Publication number: 20230331990
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to designing dyes and methods to alter the parameters controlling the dipole-dipole coupling of dyes bound to a nucleotide oligomer architecture, which are used to propagate excitons for use in next generation room temperature quantum information systems. The disclosed dyes and methods are directed to changing the dye stability, symmetry, overlap, and steric hindrance of the dyes to fine tune aggregate systems.
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 23, 2023
    Publication date: October 19, 2023
    Inventors: William B. Knowlton, Bernard Yurke, Ryan D. Pensack, Paul H. Davis

  • Indodicarbocyanine Phosphoramidites with Bathochromically Shifted Absorption and Emission, and Tunable Hydrophobicity
    Publication number: 20230250126
    Abstract: New phosphoramidite Cy5 derivatives can be used in automated DNA synthesis, allowing the labeling of DNA sequences with a wider array of chromophores than are presently commercially available. In addition to varying dye hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, the 5,5?-substituents (including hexyloxy, triethyleneglycol monomethyl ether, tert-butyl, and chloro groups) can modulate electron donating/withdrawing character while also tuning resulting absorption and emission properties. Modification of the Cy5 periphery enables the tuning of photophysical properties, such as absorption and emission maxima, fluorescence quantum yield, and fluorescence lifetime.
