Molecular analogues of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorophore have been designed by these authors (see Figure, X=NC4H9 or O). It is shown that by varying the donor and acceptor groups of the oxazolone (X=O) analogue the fluorescence emission can be tuned from blue to green to orange. The utility of these artificial fluorophores is explored by incorporating them into organic LEDs.
