Significance
Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) results in large Stokes shifts, preventing self-absorption of the higher energy portion of the emission spectrum and resulting in greater color purity and emission quantum efficiency. The authors utilize this phenomenon to achieve bright blue electroluminescence (EL) through covalently linking ESIPT molecules to charge-carrier moieties in a one-pot procedure.
