“…In addition, 2-oxonicotinonitrile derivatives are known for their unique photophysical properties and a wide range of potential applications based on them, for example, as dyes and pigments [17][18][19][20][21], nonlinear optical (NLO) and photorefractive materials [22], dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) [23,24], an emitter in a device with a host-guest configuration in the manufacture of OLED displays [25], a fluorescent probe for visualizing lipid droplets to distinguish between dead and live zebrafish [26], a fluorescent dye for visualizing latent fingerprints and detecting nitrite ion (NO 2-) [27], a multisensitive sensor for Ru 3+ , Fe 3+ , CrO 4 2-, Cr 2 O 7 2and MnO 4 ions [28]. Many of the above properties are based on the luminescence phenomenon.…”
