| Abstract | A general approach to enhancing the emission quantum yield of several widely studied organic chromophores is presented. The luminescence properties of a series of symmetrical sulfur-bridged chromophores are reported as a function of the oxidation state of the bridging sulfur atom. The photoluminescence quantum yield is significantly enhanced by successively oxidizing the sulfur bridge from sulfide (S), to sulfoxide (SO), to sulfone (SO2). |
