Popis: | The unique four-level photocycle characteristics of excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) materials enable population inversion and large spectral separation between absorption and emission through their respective enol and keto forms. This leads to minimal or no self-absorption losses, a favorable feature in acting as an optical gain medium. While conventional ESIPT materials with an enol-keto tautomerism process are widely known, zwitterionic ESIPT materials, particularly those with high photoluminescence, are scarce. Facilitated by the synthesis and characterization of a new family of 2-hydroxyphenyl benzothiazole (HBT) with fluorene substituents |
