43. A*, is determined. This is true under the assumption that excited state proton transfer (ESPT) is faster than fluorescence, which is generally the case, see: Kaneko S.; Yotoriyama, S.; Koda, H.; Tobita, S. J. Phys. Chem. A 2009, 113, 3021-3028.

47. Bichromophoric compounds are synthesized efficiently, when 1 reacts with 0.5 equiv of 1,2-ethylenediamine, 1,3-propylenediamine, or 1,4butylenediamine. Isolated yields were 75%, 83%, and 85%, respectively.
48. In all cases the emission intensity has decreased to ∼95% of the original value after the forward and backward titration. This decrease in emission is most likely due to dilution.
