Stepwise Modulation of Bridged Single-Benzene-Based Fluorophores for Materials Science.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, researchers studying fluorogenic samples have steadily shifted from using large, expensive, poorly soluble fluorophores with complex synthetic sequences to smaller, simpler π scaffolds with low molecular weight. This research article presents an in-depth study of the photophysical properties of five bridged single-benzene-based fluorophores (SBBFs) investigated for their solution and solid-state emission (SSSE) properties. The compounds O₄, N₁O₃, N₂O₂, N₃O₁, and N₄ are derived from a central terephthalonitrile core and vary in the amount of oxygen and nitrogen bridging atoms. These minimalized emitters show full-color tunable emission properties and exhibit moderate-to-high photolumines
