Fluorescence of 4-Cyanophenylhydrazones: From Molecular Design to Electrospun Polymer Fibers.

ABSTRACT: The rational design of advanced functional materials with tailored fluorescence hinges on a profound understanding of the complex interplay between a molecule's intrinsic structure and its local solid-state environment. This work systematically investigates these factors by employing a dual approach that combines targeted molecular synthesis with the subsequent modulation of the fluorophore's properties within polymer matrices. First, a series of phenylhydrazone derivatives was synthesized, providing compounds with intense, solid-state fluorescence in the blue spectrum (421-494 nm). It was demonstrated that their photophysical properties were intricately linked to the substituent's nature, which simultaneously modulated their intramolecular electron density and conformational rigidity whil
