Fine Tuning the Energetics of Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT): White Light Generation in A Single ESIPT System

Using 7-hydroxy-1-indanone as a prototype (I), which exhibits excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT), chemical modification has been performed at C(2)-C(3) positions by fusing benzene (molecule II) and naphthalene rings, (molecule III). I undergoes an ultrafast rate of ESIPT, resulting... View More
