On the Vapor Pressures, Phase Transitions, and Solid-State Fluorescence of 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole and 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole.

ABSTRACT: Benzazole derivatives exhibit distinctive photophysical behavior due to excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), making them promising candidates for optoelectronic applications such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and fluorescent sensors. Understanding their sublimation energetics, phase behavior, and emissive properties is essential for both fundamental studies and materials design. This article reports an investigation on two benzazole derivatives-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole and 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HBO)-through studies of thermal analysis, vapor pressure measurements, and fluorescence spectroscopy to establish structure-property relationships. Thermal stability and phase transitions are characterized using simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential
