title: Fluorescence response of 3-trifluoroacetylaminophthalimide to a Li(+)-I(-) ion pair induced by 254 nm photolysis in acetonitrile.
abstract: A 3-trifluoroacetylaminophthalimide selectively distinguished LiI from other alkaline-metal iodides and lithium halides by a marked fluorescence colour change, from orange-yellow to sky-blue, subsequent to 254 nm photolysis.
