18. The corresponding compound from o-phenylenediamine has been made, but the reactivity of the aromatic amino group was too low in the subsequent step.

20. The triesters containing the fluorescein derivatives eosin (tetrabromofluorescein) or erythrosine (tetraiodofluorescein) instead of fluorescein were also synthesized and characterized. The quantum yields of triplet states of these sensitizers are significantly higher (0.33 and 0.83, respectively) than that of fluorescein (0.02). Moreover, the energy of the triplet states is lower, rendering more red-shifted excitation possible. However, hydrolysis of these compounds to the triacids was not successful until now.

22. 4]methanol solutions is not known, owing to the low solubility of the complexes in organic solvents.
23. 4]methanol solutions were 287 and 500 nm. However, DMSO strongly absorbs light of 287 nm, and therefore 310 nm excitation was used for these solutions, whereas 515 nm excitation was used in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum because of the red-shifted excitation band.

25. 3+ has an absorption band at 500 nm, reabsorption may occur.
