Abstract

The Boc and N, N′-dicyclohexylurea capped γ-amino acid upon monobromination showed phosphorescence in the solid state. The compound exhibited different photoluminescence intensity and lifetimes in crystals obtained from ethyl acetate and methanol. X-ray crystallography revealed that the intermolecular C=O…Br halogen bond directs the heavy atom effect to produce the phosphorescence.
