25. Derivative 3d is somewhat susceptible to oxidation. Its fluorescence quantum yield was not determined since its emission wavelength is significantly red-shifted compared to the standard's emission.
26. 3) also shows tunability of emission wavelengths. This ligand is, however, a poorer binder due to the reduced electron density on the chelating nitrogens. Monosubstituted derivatives (e. g., 3-(tolylethynyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) typically show shorter absorption and emission wavelengths as well as lower fluorescence quantum efficiency, when compared to their disubstituted derivatives. This may enable fine-tuning of the absorption and emission characteristics. See Supporting Information for spectral data.
