Thioarylmaleimides (TAMS) with a wide range of photophysical properties were realized. The photophysical properties of the TAMS are varied, and can be controlled via strategic choice of the thioaryl moiety.

Predictable colour tuning in multicomponent photoluminescent (PL) systems is achieved using mixtures of simultaneously emitting organic molecules. By mitigating the potential for energy transfer through the control of concentration, the...

A pathway to a range of diverse heterocycles was developed using a nucleophilic cyclization strategy. Lactams and ene-imines are accessed in a few steps from a common precursor, and these moieties are further elaborated to directly provide pyrroles or pyridines with extended conjugation. Reaction conditions are mild, and a broad range of structural types are available within a few steps.
