Squaramide-naphthalimide conjugates – Exploiting self-aggregation effects in acetate recognition

The synthesis of three squaramide-containing bis-naphthalimide conjugates (1–3) are reported where the structures differ by the length of the carbon chain between the squaramide core and the 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophores. All compounds displayed weak fluorescence properties and self-aggregation as...
