8-Methoxy-4-methylbenzo[g]coumarin is a fluorescent molecule that exhibits fluorescence when activated by light. It has been shown to be thermally and chemically stable in nonpolar solvents, such as n-hexane. 8-Methoxy-4-methylbenzo[g]coumarin is a chromophore with an active electronic state at the carbonyl group, which is responsible for its fluorescence properties. The mechanism of this molecule's fluorescence has been elucidated using kinetic and mechanistic studies. Optimization of this molecule's fluorophore and polarities have led to the development of a variety of compounds with improved properties, including increased photostability and excitation wavelength range.
