We report the design strategy and synthesis of a structurally locked GFP core chromophore p-LHBDI, its ortho-derivative, o-LHBDI, and H2BDI possessing both para-and ortho-hydroxyl groups such that the inherent rotational motion of the titled compounds has been partially restricted. o-LHBDI possesses a doubly locked configuration, i.e., the seven-membered ring hydrogen bond and five-membered ring C(4-5-10-13-14) cyclization, from which the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer takes place, rendering a record high tautomer emission yield (0.18 in toluene) and the generation of amplified spontaneous emission. Compared with their unlocked counterparts, a substantial increase in the emission yield is also observed for p-LHBDI and H2BDI in anionic forms in water, and accordingly the structure versus luminescence relationship is fully discussed based on their chemistry and spectroscopy aspect. In solid, o-LHBDI exhibits an H-aggregate-like molecular packing, offers narrow-bandwidth emission, and has been successfully applied to fabricate a yellow organic light emitting diodes (lambda(max) = 568 nm, eta(ext) 1.9%) with an emission full width at half-maximum as narrow as 70 nm.
