Photophysical properties of the arylboronate esters, phenols and phenoxides in ethanol.
| Compound | λ max (emission)/nm | Solution PLQY |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 337 | 0.63 |
| 1-OH | 366 | 0.72 |
| 1-O−a | 471 | 0.43 |
| 2 | 344 | 0.76 |
| 2-OH | 400 | 0.67 |
| 2-O−a | 528 | 0.79 |
An optically dilute solution for the PLQY measurement was prepared by dissolving the phenol in ethanol containing (n-Bu)4NOH (2.8 × 10−4 M).
