Abstract

Abstractmagnified image2‐(3,4,5,6‐Tetrafluoro‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine (1) emits long wavelength light around 540 nm both in polar and in nonpolar solvents. Zn2+ perchlorate in acetonitrile causes the intermediate wavelength emission around 430 nm, which is ascribed to the species where the imidazole nitrogen atom and the phenolate oxygen atom bridge Zn2+. In the presence of Hg2+ and Al3+ perchlorates, short wavelength emission around 370 nm is strongly increased and this fluorescent enhancement is attributable not to the coordination of Hg2+ and Al3+ to 1 but to the formation of the salt of perchloric acid of 1.
