A novel difluoroboron derivative (TPEBF) containing α-cyanostilbene and tetraphenylethylene units has been designed and synthesized. TPEBF emits strong fluorescence both in dilute solutions (ΦFL = 19.3% in THF) and in...
Novel imidazole derivatives containing the α-cyanostilbene unit can act as reversible acid/base stimulated fluorescence switches in the solid state, as chemosensors for explosives detection in aqueous systems, and as test strip detectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
