We report on a new class of water-soluble fluorescent molecules (polyfluors) that are composed of multiple individual fluorophores assembled on a DNA-like backbone. Four fluorophore deoxyribosides were synthesized, and these individual molecules were assembled into oligofluor strings on a DNA synthesizer. A library of 256 tetrafluors was generated by split and pool methods on polystyrene beads. Images of the library under a fluorescence microscope revealed at least 40−50 different hues and intensities. Selected tetrafluors were resynthesized in pure form in solution and displayed properties, such as large Stokes shifts, that individual fluorophores do not have.
