'''Rhodamine''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|r|oʊ|d|əm|iː|n}} is a family of related dyes, a subset of the [[triarylmethane dye]]s. They are derivatives of [[xanthene]]. Important members of the rhodamine family are [[rhodamine 6G]], [[rhodamine 123]], and [[rhodamine B]]. They are mainly used to dye paper and inks, but they lack the [[lightfastness]] for fabric dyeing.<ref name=Ull>{{Ullmann's | last1 = Gessner | first1 = Thomas | last2 = Mayer | first2 = Udo | title = Triarylmethane and Diarylmethane Dyes | year = 2000 | doi = 10.1002/14356007.a27_179}}</ref>
==Use==
Aside from their major applications, they are often used as a [[tracer dye]], e.g. to determine the rate and direction of flow and transport of water. Rhodamine dyes [[fluorescence|fluoresce]] and can thus be detected using [[Fluorometer]]s. Rhodamine dyes are used extensively in biotechnology applications such as [[Fluorescence microscope|fluorescence microscopy]], [[flow cytometry]], [[fluorescence correlation spectroscopy]] and [[ELISA]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Zehentbauer |first1=Florian M. |last2=Moretto |first2=Claudia |last3=Stephen |first3=Ryan |last4=Thevar |first4=Thangavel |last5=Gilchrist |first5=John R. |last6=Pokrajac |first6=Dubravka |last7=Richard |first7=Katherine L. |last8=Kiefer |first8=Johannes |date=2014-03-05 |title=Fluorescence spectroscopy of Rhodamine 6G: Concentration and solvent effects |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1386142513012195 |journal=Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy |volume=121 |pages=147–151 |doi=10.1016/j.saa.2013.10.062 |pmid=24239710 |bibcode=2014AcSpA.121..147Z |issn=1386-1425}}</ref> Rhodamine 123 is used in biochemistry to inhibit [[mitochondrion]] function. Rhodamine 123 appears to bind to the mitochondrial membranes and inhibit transport processes, especially the [[electron transport chain]], thus slowing down [[cellular respiration]]. It is a substrate of [[P-glycoprotein]] (Pgp), which is usually overexpressed in cancer cells. Recent reports indicate that rhodamine 123 may also be a substrate of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP), or more specifically, [[MRP1]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Johnson |first1=L V |last2=Walsh |first2=M L |last3=Chen |first3=L B |date=February 1980 |title=Localization of mitochondria in living cells with rhodamine 123. |journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences |language=en |volume=77 |issue=2 |pages=990–994 |doi=10.1073/pnas.77.2.990 |doi-access=free |issn=0027-8424 |pmc=348409 |pmid=6965798|bibcode=1980PNAS...77..990J }}</ref>
In addition to their major applications, rhodamines are used in [[dye laser]] as [[Active laser medium|gain media]].<ref>[[F. P. Schäfer]] (Ed.), ''Dye Lasers'', 3rd Ed.

==Other derivatives==
There are many rhodamine derivatives used for imaging purposes, for example Carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA),<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hendrickson |first1=W. A. |last2=Ward |first2=K. B. |date=1975-10-27 |title=Atomic models for the

Substituents of the [[xanthene]] core are influencing the properties of the [[xanthene]] dyes by both electronic and steric effects. Specifically designed [[Substituent|substituents]] also allows xanthenes to bear specific functions activatable upon excitation by [[visible light]], e.g. they could act as [[photoremovable protecting group]] for [[Carboxylate|carboxylates]] and [[Halide|halides]],<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Šebej |first1=Peter |last2=Wintner |first2=Jürgen |last3=Müller |first3=Pavel |last4=Slanina |first4=Tomáš |last5=Al Anshori |first5=Jamaludin |last6=Antony |first6=Lovely Angel Panamparambil |last7=Klán |first7=Petr |last8=Wirz |first8=Jakob |date=2013-03-01 |title=Fluorescein Analogues as Photoremovable Protecting Groups Absorbing at ~520 nm |url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jo301455n |journal=The Journal of Organic Chemistry |language=en |volume=78 |issue=5 |pages=1833–1843 |doi=10.1021/jo301455n |pmid=22827158 |issn=0022-3263}}</ref> [[carbon monoxide]] (thus being a photo[[Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules|CORM]]),<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Antony |first1=Lovely Angel Panamparambil |last2=Slanina |first2=Tomáš |last3=Šebej |first3=Peter |last4=Šolomek |first4=Tomáš |last5=Klán |first5=Petr |date=2013-09-06 |title=Fluorescein Analogue Xanthene-9-Carboxylic Acid: A Transition-Metal-Free CO Releasing Molecule Activated by Green Light |url=https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ol4021089 |journal=Organic Letters |language=en |volume=15 |issue=17 |pages=4552–4555 |doi=10.1021/ol4021089 |pmid=23957602 |issn=1523-7060}}</ref> or added as a secondary functionality of fluorescent dyes, e.g. fluorescent [[PH indicator|pH indicators]].

▲There are many rhodamine derivatives used for imaging purposes, for example the tetramethyl rhodamine derivatives TRITC and TAMRA, sulforhodamine 101 (and its sulfonyl chloride form Texas Red) and Rhodamine Red. TRITC is the base rhodamine molecule functionalized with an [[isothiocyanate]] group ('''-N=C=S'''), replacing a [[hydrogen]] atom on the bottom ring of the structure. This derivative is reactive towards [[amine]] groups on proteins inside cells. A [[succinimidyl-ester]] functional group attached to the rhodamine core, creating NHS-rhodamine, forms another common amine-reactive derivative.
▲Other derivatives of rhodamine include newer fluorophores such as [[Alexa (fluor)|Alexa 546, Alexa 555, and Alexa 633]] and [[DyLight Fluor|DyLight 549]], have been tailored for various chemical and biological applications where higher [[Photobleaching|photostability]], increased brightness, different spectral characteristics, or different attachment groups are needed.
