On the Photocyclization of Tetraphenyl-Substituted Anthraquinodimethanes: Mechanistic Insights, Substitution Effects, and Fluorescence Switching
-AQDs, which exhibit significantly enhanced fluorescence efficiency with quantum yields up to 0.44 and diverse fluorescence decay parameters. Overall, this study provides fundamental mechanistic insights and synthetic guidelines for synthesizing relevant functional polycyclic aromatic structures using the Mallory reaction as a key cyclization strategy.
