The discovery of fluorescence two centuries ago ushered in, what is today, an illuminating field of science rooted in the rational design of photochromic molecules for task-specific bio-, material-, and medical-driven applications. Today, this includes applications in bioimaging and diagnosis, photodynamic therapy regimes, in addition to photovoltaic devices and solar cells, among a vast multitude of other usages. In furthering this indispensable area of daily life and modern-day scientific research, we report herein the synthesis of a class of trisaminocyclopropenium fluorophores along with a systematic investigation of their unique molecular and electronic dependent photophysical properties. Among these fluorophores, tris[N(naphthalen-2-ylmethyl)phenylamino] cyclopropenium chloride (TNTPC) displayed a strong photophysical profile including a 0.92 quantum yield ascribed to intramolecular charge transfer and intramolecular through-space conjugation. Moreover, this cyclopropenium-based fluorophore functions as a competent imaging agent for DNA visualization and nuclear counterstaining in cell culture. To facilitate the broader use of these compounds, design principles supported by density functional theory calculations for engineering analogs of this class of fluorophores are offered. Collectively, this study adds to the burgeoning interest in cyclopropenium compounds and their unique properties as fluorophores with uses in bioimaging applications.
