Abstract

The photophysical properties of the three 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives containing fluorene (Ox-FL); fluorene and phenolphtaleine (Ox-FL-FF); or fluorene and bisphenol A (Ox-FL-BPA) moieties in the main chain were investigated by the fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy in different solvents and in the solid state. The electronic absorption spectra included a strong absorption band located in the 270–395 nm region, with a maxima around at 302 nm. The fluorescence excitation spectra were also characterized by one broad band, appearing in the wavelength range of 220–340 nm. All samples displayed the emission bands around 356–373 nm and exhibit high quantum yields ranged from 31.61 to 90.77%, in chloroform solution. The sensitivity of the emission spectra on medium characteristics (polarity, acidity and basicity) were evaluated by using the Catalan solvent scale and the fluorescence titration with a dilute acid solution.
