What is it about?
This work investigates the effects of π-conjugation in anthracene-urea derivatives on excited-state intermolecular proton transfer (ESPT) reactions in the presence of acetate anions. Urea compounds with various substituents, such as biphenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, and cyclohexyl, were analyzed to assess the impact of π-conjugation length.
