Abstract

The 1,3a,6a-triazapentalene (TAP) is an aromatic heterocyclic fluorescent dye with interesting features such as its small size, large Stokes shift, solvatochromism, and emission wavelengths that are spread across the visible spectrum. TAPs have been synthesized via different synthetic strategies involving click−cyclization−aromatization domino reactions, gold-catalyzed cyclization of propargyl triazoles or triazolization of acetophenones. As a result, TAPs with diverse substitution patterns were obtained, showing varying fluorescence properties. Based on these properties, several TAPs have been selected and studied as fluorescent imaging probes in living cells and as sensors. This mini review provides an overview of the research on the bicyclic TAPs and does not comment on the literature about benzo or otherwise fused systems. The synthetic methodologies for the preparation of TAPs, the substituent effects on the fluorescence properties, and the behavior of the TAP core as an element of biological imaging probes and sensors are discussed.

Summary

Introduction

Organic fluorophores have been widely applied in modern science and technology as biological labels and have probes [1,2,3,4,5,6], fluorescent. 1-(o-nitro(hetero)aryl)pyrazoles lished methods to synthesize fused TAPs involve the deoxygenation of 1-(o-nitro(het and thermolysis or photolysis of 1-(o-azido(hetero)aryl)pyrazoles [18,19,20,21,22], among others [23,24]. The fluorescence properties of these fused TAPs are Chemosensors 2021, 9, 16. NumberFurthermore, of valuable ble studies by this group throughout the past decade studies published by this group throughout the past decade [27,28,29,30] These these findings encouraged other researchers to study the TAP fluorophore and to findings encouraged other researchers to study the fluorophore and to develop develop alternative methods for their preparation [31,32].
