Naphthalene-diimide (NDI)-derived building blocks have been explored extensively for supramolecular assembly as they exhibit attractive photophysical properties, suitable applications in organic optoelectronics. Core-substituted derivatives of the NDI chromophore (cNDI) differ significantly from parent dye terms optical and redox properties. Adequate molecular engineering opportunities substitu...

In this study, a series of N-naphthalimide ester derivatives (noted NPIE1-NPIE9) with different substituents were designed as visible light photoinitiators (PIs). These structures exhibited good absorption properties in the range. Photoinitiation abilities NPIEs evaluated upon exposure to light-emitting diode at 405 nm. All demonstrated performances free radical polymerization acrylate monomers...

A fluorescent sensor for halogenated solvents termed AMN is reported. AMN shows strong fluorescence in most halogenated solvents (QE > 0.1) but weak fluorescence (QE<0.01) in most non-halogenated solvents. In chlorinated solvents, the fluorescence intensity decreased with the reduction of chlorine content. On the contrary, in brominated solvents the fluorescence intensity increased with the red...
