Abstract

We have developed an efficient method for the generation of patterned fluorescence images using a protected precursor molecule. The t-Boc-protecting group of a coumarin derivative was readily removed from a polymer film upon irradiation with UV light in the presence of a photoacid generator to provide the original properties of the coumarin. Fine fluorescence patterns were obtained when using this photolithographic method.
