Synthesis of Schiff Base–BF2 Complexes and Characterization of Their Excited State Dynamics
The photophysics of a series of Schiff base–BF2 complexes was investigated using steady-state and femtosecond/nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, as well as theoretical computations. The native chromophore has a weak fluorescence and a short fluorescence lifetime (<30 ps, determined using the femtosecond fluo...
