Based on the coumarin skeleton, we deliberately designed two groups of fluorophores, termed as Coum-R and Naph-Coum-R, using the diphenylamino group as the electron donor, which displayed long-wavelength emissions (red spectral region), large Stokes shift (up to 204 nm), superior AIE performance, and large two-photon absorbance cross-sections (as high as 365 GM). The electron-withdrawing substituents at the 3-position of these dyes could induce a significant red-shift in their emission spectra. Preliminary imaging experiments demonstrated the capability of these dyes as two-photon fluorophores for specifically staining lipid droplets in living cells.
