title: Conjugated 1,10-Phenanthrolines as Tunable Fluorophores.
abstract: Multiple emission colors can be generated with the same compound from a novel family of highly emissive and visibly fluorescent 1,10-phenanthrolines 1. The emission wavelength of any derivative is dictated by the nature of its substituent and can be further modulated by exogenous additives such as protons or metal ions. R=H, Me, OMe, NMe(2).
