Organic Luminescent Materials

Download or read book Organic Luminescent Materials written by B. M. Krasovitskii and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 1988-12 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical guide familiarizes its readers with techniques for the synthesis of luminophors, explains their luminescence properties and describes numerous applications. It helps chemists to concentrate their efforts on the synthesis of luminophors that are of practical value. The first part of the book compiles major classes of organic luminescent materials, ranging from aromatic hydrocarbons and their substitution products to compounds with an exocyclic C=N group and naphthalic acid derivatives. The second part - applications - reflects modern trends and technological uses. Optical brighteners, organic scintillators, tunable lasers, flaw detection: they all depend on organic luminophors. In addition, their use in analytical chemistry, biology and medicine has expanded considerably, a fact which this book also takes into account.
