| pubmed-article:16890011 | pubmed:abstractText | A novel luminescent compound, 9-bromo-10-naphthalen-2-yl-anthracene (BNA) is synthesized by Suzuki Cross-coupling reaction of 9-bromo-anthracene and naphthalene-2-boronic acid. The structure is characterized by (1)H NMR, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The photophysical processes of 9-bromo-10-naphthalen-2-yl-anthracene have been carefully investigated by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra. The results show that the compound emits blue and blue-violet light. The emission spectra exhibit obvious solvent effect. With the difference in polarity of solvents, The emission spectra is not only slightly blue shift with the increase of the solvent polarity but also change on the intensity of fluorescence at room temperature . The light emitting can be quenched by electron donor, N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA). On adding gradually DMA into the solution of BNA, the emission intensities of fluorescence are gradually decreased. The quenching effect follows the Stern-Volmer equation. | lld:pubmed |
