✦ Synopsis


AbSlTilCt

'I-hydroxyquinoline (7HQ) dissolved in a solid poly( 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PHEMA) matrix shows dual fluorescence at room temperature: a blue one (376 nm) from enol forms and a green one (5 15 nm) from the keto tautomer. This isomer can be populated by an excited-state triple proton transfer in well-bridged complexes of 7HQ-PHEMA or by vertical excitation of the long-term stable keto tautomer in the ground state.
