title: Synthesis and fluorescence properties of 5,7-diphenylquinoline and 2,5,7-triphenylquinoline derived from m-terphenylamine.
abstract: Synthesis of 5,7-phenylquinoline from the Skraup reaction of m-terphenyl-amine and glycerol in the presence of acid is reported. Further reaction of 5,7-diphenyl-quinoline with phenyl lithium prepared in situ led to the formation of 2,5,7-triphenyl-quinoline. All of the products and their intermediates were characterized and the UV-Vis and photo-luminescence (PL) spectra of m-terphenylamine, 5,7-diphenylquinoline and 2,5,7-triphenylquinoline are also reported.
