This review summarized recent advances relating to the luminescence properties of quinazolinones and their applications in fluorescent probes, biological imaging and luminescent materials. Their future outlook is also included.
We review recent advances in the design and application of excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) based fluorescent probes. These sensors and imaging agents (probes) are important in biology, physiology, pharmacology, and environmental science.
