General description

1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran is a fluorescent dye.1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran is the model compound in studies of singlet fission.

Application

1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran(DPBF) was used as a fluorescent probe for detection of superoxide anion radical (O2−) inside the membrane lipid layer by DPBF fluorescence quenching method. 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran(DPBF) was used as quencher during the photoinactivation of TA-3 mouse mammary carcinoma cells containing hematoporphyrin. 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran(DPBF) was used to study the single crystal molecular structure and solution photophysical properties of DPBF.

Utilization of a fluorescence dye, 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as a detector of superoxide anion radical (O2*-) was examined. The fluorescence intensity of DPBF incorporated in phospholipid liposomes consisting of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS) is effectively quenched by incubation with xanthine/xanthine
