Push-Pull (Iso)quinoline Chromophores: Synthesis, Photophysical Properties, and Use for White-Light Emission.

The photophysical properties of a series of conjugated push-pull (iso)quinolines were studied. The compounds were synthesized by well-established and straightforward methodologies. The materials exhibited not only emission solvatochromism in a variety of nonpolar solvents, but also tunable halochromism.
