Quinoline-lactone derivatives as fluorescence sensors: ratiometric response and solvatochromic effects.

A straightforward synthetic strategy for a series of structurally diverse quinoline-lactone fluorophores (5a-5e) is reported. The synthesized compounds were fully characterized, and their photophysical behavior was systematically evaluated in different solvents. The derivatives exhibited absorption maxima in the near-U...
