Abstract

A highly fluorescent HPI-based excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecule is designed and adopted as a naked-eye colorimetric sensor to distinguish methanol, ethanol and isopropanol vapors. Amplified spontaneous emission was also observed for the C1-form single crystal of the molecule attributed to its intrinsic four-level energy states.
