Color and fluorescence imaging with t-Boc-protected dihydroxynaphthacenedione

Abstract

In recent years, generation of patterned images in polymer films has become a central focus in a variety fields of chemistry. Recently, generation of functional images by selective immobilization of organic dyes in the polymer film has been reported.(1-3) Selective removal of acid labile protecting groups through photoinduced chemical transformation followed by chemisorption of organic dyes from solution into the patterned polymer film afforded mu m-scale functional images.
