New N-triazinyl derivatives were synthesized by reaction of cyanuric chloride with 1- and 9-aminoanthracenes and subsequent nucleophilic substitution of chlorine atoms on triazinyl ring with methoxy and/or phenylamino groups. The compounds were characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR and mass spectra. The influence of the chemical structure and solvent polarity on the UV/Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra and fluorescence quantum yields were investigated. Semi-empirical computations revealed highly polar CT states in singlet excited state manifold connected with charge-transfer from the hydrocarbon moiety to the triazinyl ring. The relationships between the CT-to-emitting state energy gap, solvent polarity and fluorescence quantum yield were discussed.
