Fluorescence emission and excitation spectra and experimental dipole moments are presented for 5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole and 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole. These data indicate that the long-wavelength emission of the former, in non-hydrogen bonding solvents, is due to a tautomeric PT structure. The latter exhibits only the ‘normal’ band. The striking difference in behavior between these two compounds of very similar structure is explained on the basis of coplanarity between the aryl ring in position 5 and the heterocycle ring, the aryl ring in the 3 position not being in the same plane.
5-(2-羟苯基)-3-苯基-1,2,4-噁二唑和3-(2-羟苯基)-5-苯基-1,2,4-噁二唑的发射光谱和激发光谱以及实验偶极矩数据已呈现。这些数据显示,前者在非氢键溶剂中的长波长发射源于互变异构的
PT结构。后者仅展示出“正常”的谱带。这两种结构高度相似的化合物在行为上的显著差异,可基于位于5位的芳环与杂环的共面性来解释,而位于3位的芳环并不处于同一平面。
