Excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process-based organic fluorophores provide an opportunity to develop large Stokes-shifted multifunctional fluorescence systems for light emitting, chemosensing and bioimaging applications. In this manuscript, ESIPT molecules with two thiazole ring...
