Abstract

We report a study on the absorptive and emissive properties of 9‐acridinones, 9‐thioacridinones and 9‐aminoacridines including six crown ether derivatives. The effect of solvents and of the addition of cations (Na^+^, K^+^, Ca2^+^ and Mg2^+^) on these properties has been studied. The absorption of the crown ether derivative of 9‐thioacridinone is sensitive to solvents while the fluorescence of crown ethers derived from 9‐aminoacridines shows some specificity towards cations. Empirical modeling was used to discuss the emission characteristics of these compounds.
