AXtdt
AXtdt is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C12H10N2O2. It is a derivative of anthracene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and is characterized by its bright yellow fluorescence under ultraviolet light. AXtdt is primarily used as a fluorescent dye in biological and chemical research. Its structure consists of an anthracene core with two nitro groups attached to the 9 and 10 positions, which contribute to its fluorescent properties. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, making it suitable for various applications in microscopy and spectroscopy. AXtdt's fluorescence is stable and resistant to photobleaching, which is advantageous for long-term imaging studies. However, its use is limited by its relatively low quantum yield compared to other fluorescent dyes. Despite this, AXtdt remains a valuable tool in the field of fluorescence research due to its unique spectral properties and its ability to label specific biological targets.
