Abstract
The synthesis and photophysical data of new carbostyrils (quinoline‐2(1__H__)‐ones) with the longest hitherto observed absorption‐ and emission wavelengths are described. Introduction of 6‐amino, 7‐MeO, and 4‐(CF~3~) substituents enabled us to rise the absorption and fluorescence maxima up to 414 and 557 nm, respectively. Supported by semi‐empirical and ab initio calculations, the 6,7‐(1,4‐diazine)‐fused carbostyril 23b displayed absorption maxima at up to 440 nm, with quantum yields of up to 0.9 and large Stokes shifts (>100 nm), comparable to the best coumarin chromophores known. The new fluorophore is neither pH‐sensitive between pH 6 and 10 nor susceptible to O~2~ quenching. At pH 3, the emitted light appears greenish‐white, which arises from three different stages of protonation.

Fluorescent Ca(2+) indicators have been extremely valuable in understanding the role of intracellular Ca(2+). However, the presence of extracellular dye can confound interpretation of data due to indicator accumulation in the Ca(2+)-rich medium, which induces an increase in the fluorescence signal.
