Abstract
Abstract The conformation of N -phenylbenzohydroxamic acid has been reported to change depending on the solvent properties. Here, we newly synthesized N -phenylbenzohydroxamic acid derivative, which contains two pyrene moieties separated from the phenyl rings by ethylene linkers. It showed solvent-dependent conformational change, and its fluorescence was also solvent-dependent, that is, only monomer fluorescence of pyrene was observed in DMSO or DMF, whereas the excimer fluorescence was observed in CH 2 Cl 2 or CHCl 3 . Thus, the structural characteristics could be converted to fluorescence change as output, which would be a good candidate as a fluorescent sensor.
