Synthesis of highly stable luminescent molecular crystals based on (E)-2-((3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-4-phenylthiophen-2-yl)amino)-4-oxo-4-(p-tolyl)but-2-enoic acid

Abstract

The synthesis of (E)-2-((3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-5-methyl-4-phenylthiophen-2-yl)amino)-4-oxo-4-(p-tolyl)but-2-enoic acid was performed. This organic compound was used as a building block for the organic molecular crystals with highly stable photoluminescence at ambient conditions, which has been established during 10 years of exploitation.
