title: Synthesis, photophysical properties and color tuning of highly fluorescent 9,10-disubstituted-2,3,6,7-tetraphenylanthracene.
abstract: We report the synthesis of 9,10-disubstituted-2,3,6,7-tetraphenylanthracenes, of which the photophysical properties are altered significantly by the 9,10-functionalities; the emission wavelengths range from 410 to 610 nm with outstanding quantum yields for most fluorophores.
