Abstract

A scalable synthetic route to lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl chloride has been developed and a series of monomeric derivatives of this xanthene dye have been synthesized. Their subsequent incorporation into polymer supports has been accomplished and led to improved thermal stability for the conjugates as compared to the free dye.
