Novel azacrown ether containing blue -light emitting anthracene fluorophore, 9,10-bis [p-(1-aza-18-crown-6)methylphenyl] anthracene (3) and N,N-bis [9-(p-methylphenyl) anthracenyl-methyl] -1,6-diaza-18-crown-6 (4) were prepared by reacting anthracene derivatives 1 and 2 with mono- and diaza-18-crown-6, respectively Also, crown ether containing fluorophore copolymer (5) were prepared by reacting 1,6-diaza-18-crown-6 with 1. Their fluorescence emission spectral studies were investigated by binding group I, group II and various metal cations. The fluorophores showed an absorption at ${\lambda}_{max}$= 372 nm and an emission at ${\lambda}_{max}$= 430 nm. pH Dependency of fluorescence emission intensity were examined to determine the optimum pH for the fluorophores.

Conjugated-non-conjugated alternating block copolymers containing distyrylarylene units were synthesized via Wittig reaction for chemiluminescent fluorophores. The polymers were differentiated from others by the presence of aromatic unit in the chromophoric block. When UV-VIS, photoluminescence and chemiluminescence spectra of these materials were compared with copolymers, a strong bathochromic effect was observed. A more pronounced red shift and higher chemiluminscence efficiency were observed in the polymer with anthracene ring. Sodium salicylate-catalyzed reaction of bis(2-carbopentyloxy-3,5,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate with hydrogen peroxide produced a strong chemiluminescence from blue to yellow-green light emission with wavelength of 450-537 nm in the presence of the fluorophore. The chemiluminescent intensity decayed exponentially. The glow of chemiluminescence maintained more than l2 hr and was visible with the naked eye.

Three anthrylazacrown ethers in which the anthracene fluorophore π system is separated from the electron donor atoms by one methylene group were synthesized, and their photophysical study was accomplished. These fluorescent compounds showed a maximum fluorescence intensity at pH=5 in aqueous solutions and a decrease in fluorescence intensity upon binding of paramagnetic metal cations (Mn 2+ (d 5 ), Co 2+ (d 7 ), Cu 2+ (d 9 )). The decrease in fluorescence intensity may be attributed to the paramagnetic effect of metal cations to deactivate the excited state by the nonradiative quenching process. The benzylic nitrogen was found to play an important role in changing fluorescence intensity. From the observed linear Stern-Volmer plot and the fluorescence lifetime independence of the presence of metal ions, it was inferred that the chelation enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ) mechanism in the system is a ground state static quenching process. Enhanced fluorescence was also observed when an excess Na + ion was added to the quenched aqueous solution, and it was attributed to cation displacement of a complexed fluorescence quencher.
