As a hybrid of two aryl motifs, that is p-anisyl and mesityl, the 4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylphenyl or “manisyl” substituent offers possibilities for both further structural elaboration as well as enhancing the solubility of the heterocyclic ligands mentioned in the title. A highlight of this work lies in the ability of the manisyl group to endow specific members of this family such as 1 with high fluorescence quantum efficiency.
