azaxanthone dye through a two-step cyclization synthesis The azaxanthone functional group has applications in study of biomolecules because it can be incorporated into photoluminescent lanthanide antenna complexes. Using characterization methods like gas chromatography mass spectrometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we investigated the synthesis of a specific azaxanthone to study its potential beneficial uses as a bioluminescent sensitizer.
