Double intramolecular hydrogen transfer assisted dual emission in a carbazole-embedded porphyrin-like macrocycle

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 May 4;57(36):4420-4423. doi: 10.1039/d1cc00868d.

Abstract

The introduction of a pyrrole ring at one of the meso positions of carbazole-based porphyrins lowers the structural symmetry and results in dual emission, which strongly depends on the excitation wavelength and temperature. The origin of dual emission induced by NH-tautomerism is confirmed via photophysical and DFT calculations.
