[edit] Fluorone dye?

Is Rhodamine truly a fluorone dye since it is an amine derivative?--Kupirijo (talk) 09:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I would say no since it is an amine derivative. It's typically classified in the xanthene family. KingHanneman (talk) 04:17, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename article

Shouldn't we rename the article to Rhodamine dyes since there no such thing as rhodamine? Put also a generic structure for rhodamine skeleton. --Kupirijo (talk) 01:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Move also the paragraphs for Rhodamine B etc ... to different articles? --Kupirijo (talk) 01:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Diagrams

What about a diagram of 123? Also having all of the images at the same scale would aid comparisons. --Belg4mit (talk) 23:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
