Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the photophysical characteristics of 1,8-naphthalimide photoacid generators using techniques like fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopy.
  • Key findings include the low polarity of the singlet excited state, its rapid deactivation via intersystem crossing, and the production of acid through a bond cleavage in protic solvent.
  • Computational results from DFT calculations support and enhance the understanding of the experimental findings, particularly about the cleavage processes in these compounds.
