Photophysical properties of 15 in solution and solvent-free liquid state. (a) Normalized UV-vis absorption (solid lines) and fluorescence (dashed lines) spectra of 15 in solution (black) (UV-vis: 10 μM; fluorescence: 1 μM) and solvent-free liquid state (red) at 25 °C. Solvent: 2, n-hexane; others, dichloromethane. The liquid samples were sandwiched between two quartz plates. λ ex: 1 and 2, 344 nm; 3, 4 and 5, 378 nm. (b) Photo images of solution (top) and liquid (bottom) samples under handy UV lamp irradiation at 365 nm. (c) A section of CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram of 15 in both solution (white squares) and liquid state (yellow circles) at 25 °C. Only liquid 5 exhibits similar luminescent color to its solution, while liquids 14 showed different emission colors to their solutions.
