O-Alkyl synthetic analogues of the green fluorescent protein chromophore are nonfluorescent in solution but demonstrate a bright emission in the crystalline state. Three-dimensional steady-state and t
The synthesis of ethyne-linked porphyrin nanorings has been achieved by template-directed Sonogashira coupling. The cyclic hexamer and octamer are predicted by density functional theory to adopt low s
New rigid bicyclic N-anthrylsuccinimide 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b were prepared. The Caryl–Nimide bond rotational barriers, intra/intermolecular arene–arene interactions, and photophysical properties were in
To investigate possible through-space charge transfer transitions between a Pt(II) ion and a triarylborane unit, the two new nonconjugated molecules 1 and 2 have been synthesized and fully characteriz
