L-shaped benzimidazole fluorophores: synthesis, characterization and optical response to bases, acids and anions

Abstract

Nine L-shaped benzimidazole fluorophores have been synthesized, computationally evaluated and spectroscopically characterized. These “half-cruciform” fluorophores respond to bases, acids and anions through changes in fluorescence that vary from moderate to dramatic.
