The results of studies of various classes of molecular rotors are generalized. The
compounds in question are fluorophores whose molecules can pass to a twisted state upon …

Herein, we reported a red-emitting probe (E)-4-(2-(8-hydroxy-julolidine-9-yl) vinyl)-1-
methylpyridin-1-ium iodide (HJVPI) on a rotor mechanism with an ultrahigh signal-to-noise …

Two green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore analogs (4 Z)-4-(N, N-
dimethylaminobenzylidene)-1-methyl-2-phenyl-1, 4-dihydro-5 H-imidazolin-5-one (DMPI) …

Ultrafast excited-state relaxation dynamics of a nonlinear optical (NLO) dye,(S)-(−)-1-(4-
nitrophenyl)-2-pyrrolidinemethanol (NPP), was carried out under the regime of femtosecond …

The intrinsic excited state properties of green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore have
inspired syntheses of its structural analogues with a motivation to replicate or improve its …

To understand the effects of solvent–solute hydrogen bonding (SSHB) on the excited-state
dynamics of two GFP-like chromophores, p-ABDI and p-CFABDI, we have determined the …

Protein aggregation is a process that occurs through the self-assembly of misfolded proteins
to form soluble oligomers and insoluble aggregates. While there has been significant …

The goal of the work reported here was to amplify the fluorescent properties of 4-aryliden-5
(4 H)-oxazolones by suppression of the hula-twist non-radiative deactivation pathway. This …

The luminescence of oxazolones R1‐C6H4CH= CC (O) O‐CN (R2)(1a–1j) and
imidazolones R1‐C6H4CH= CC (O) NR3CN (R2)(1k–1q) has been examined. The new …

A two-state model Hamiltonian is proposed, which can describe the coupling of twisting
displacements to charge-transfer behavior in the ground and excited states of a general …
