Quenched: Perylenediimide (PDI) is highly quenched by nucleobases, which greatly restricts its application as a fluorescent probe. Here, we propose insulator base pairs tethering cyclohexane ring through d-threoninol. When insulator base pairs were inserted between PDI and nucleobases, the quantum yield of PDI drastically increased several thousand-fold. The insulator base pairs reported here also have the potential to increase the quantum yields of other fluorophores.
