From 2-phenylbenzoxazole to diphenyl-bibenzoxazole derivatives: Comparative advantages of mono- and bis-chromophores for solution and solid-state fluorescence

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.dyepig.2015.10.027

The optical properties of three bis-benzoxazole derivatives, namely 2,2'-diphenyl-6,6'-bibenzoxazole and its derivatives bearing methyl and tert-butyl groups at the para position, were investigated and compared to those of the corresponding subunits. As e
