title: Synthesis and characterization of bis-N-2-aryl triazole as a fluorophore.
abstract: Naphthalene-bridged bis-triazole (NBT) complexes were prepared and characterized for investigation of their photophysical properties. Unlike our previously reported N-2-aryl triazoles, which gave strong emissions through the planar intramolecular charge transfer mechanism (coplanar conformation), this newly developed NBT adopted a noncoplanar conformation between triazole and naphthalene, achieving fluorescence through twisted intramolecular charge transfer.
