The solid-state fluorescence properties of a series of benzothiazoles with phenyl, naphthalene, and coumarin moieties substituted at the 2-position have been investigated. The necessity for a 2'-OH substituent for fluorescence has been confirmed and the effects of further substitution in the 2-phenyl ring are reported.
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.
