“…However, when these moieties are coupled using the strong phenyl isoxazolone acceptor,t he electron density distribution is akin to ad onor-acceptor molecule, that is, merocyanines.Among the molecules shown in Figure 2b,t he acceptor strength increases with the following trend:k etone < malononitrile (CN) < 1,3-indandione (In) < 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (6O) < 1,3-diethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid (6S) < 3-phenyl-5-isoxazolone (PI). [15][16][17][18][19][20] DAA-Fl was synthesized according to ap reviously published procedure. [21] Briefly,3 ,6-dibromo-9H-fluoren-9one was synthesized from the bromination and subsequent ring contraction of phenanthrene-9,10-dione.…”
