Abstract
The spectral-luminescence and acid-base properties of 2-(4-pyridyl)-5-(4-R-phenyl)oxazoles were studied. Significant π-electron conjugation between the individual fragments exists in the molecules of these compounds in solutions at room temperature. Bathochromic and bathofluoric effects, which are particularly appreciable for electron-donor substituents, are observed when substituents R are introduced into the 5-phenyl ring. Ethanol solutions of the investigated compounds have high fluorescence quantum yields which, for some of them, are close to unity. Electron-donor substituents R increase the basicity of the pyridine nitrogen atom.
