So here's what I'm wondering. If you react the fluorescent hydrazine with a ketone or aldehyde, do any of these properties change? When the two molecules are combined, does the quantum yield change, making the fluorescent emission more or less bright than it was initially? Will the emission wavelength change, causing a shift in the color of the fluorescence output?
I think both of these possibilities are quite likely, particularly the emission wavelength shift. The reason I believe this is likely is that the makeup of the fluorescent molecule has changed when it combines with the ketone or aldehyde, essentially creating a new molecule. So why wouldn't the optical properties be altered in some way? I've been scouring the internet to answer this question, but have found no definitive answers thus far. So I guess there's only one way to find out. Conduct the experiment myself. And that's what I think I'll do.
