Abstract

A novel naphthalimide molecule, 4-(2-methoxyethoxy)- N -butyl-1,8-naphthalimide (MEBN), has been synthesized and characterized. The UV–visible absorption and fluorescence emission spectral properties in n -hexane, toluene, CHCl 3 , and CH 3 OH were studied. Its optical properties depend on solvent polarity. The application of MEBN in cell imaging was investigated.
