Abstract
Molecular analogues of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorophore have been designed by these authors (see Figure, X = NC4H9 or O). It is shown t hat by varying the donor and acceptor groups of the oxazolone (X = O) analo gue the fluorescence emission can be tuned from blue to green to orange. Th e utility of these artificial fluorophores is explored by incorporating the m into organic LEDs.
