It has been difficult to decipher the mechanistic issue whether E/Z isomerization is involved in aggregation-induced emission (AIE) process of a tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivative, due difficulty synthesis its pure E and Z conformers. In this work, stereoisomers TPE derivative named 1,2-bis{4-[1-(6-phenoxyhexyl)-4-(1,2,3-triazol)yl]phenyl}-1,2-diphenylethene (BPHTATPE) are successfully synthesized. Both isomers show remarkable AIE effect (αAIE ≥ 322) high fluorescence quantum yield solid...
A conceptually new "light-up" biosensor with a high specificity for d-glucose (Glu) in aqueous media has been developed. The emission from tetraphenylethene (TPE)-cored diboronic acid (1) was greatly boosted when the fluorogen oligomerized Glu because of restriction intramolecular rotations aryl rotors TPE by formation oligomer. Little change light observed 1 mixed d-fructose, d-galactose, or d-mannose, as these saccharides are unable to oligomerize fluorogen.
Nonemissive tetraphenylethene (TPE) 1 and its diphenylated derivative 2 were induced to emit intensely by aggregate formation. Crystalline aggregates of the dyes emitted bluer lights than their amorphous counterparts. The emissions TPE could be switched off on continuously reversibly wetting dewetting with solvent vapors, respectively, manifesting ability optically sense volatile organic compounds. light-emitting diodes fabricated from turned at ∼2.9 ∼5V blue maximum luminance ∼1800...
Luminescent materials with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) can harvest singlet and triplet excitons to afford high electroluminescence (EL) efficiencies for organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, TADF emitters generally have be dispersed into host matrices suppress emission quenching and/or exciton annihilation, most doped OLEDs of encounter a thorny problem swift efficiency roll‐off as luminance increases. To address this issue, in study, new tailor‐made luminogen...
Photoluminescence of simple arylbenzenes with ready synthetic accessibility is enhanced by two orders magnitude through aggregate formation; viscosity and temperature effects indicate that the emission enhancement due to restriction their intramolecular rotations in solid state.
Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property have attracted considerable interests for their promising applications in light-emitting and display devices fluorescent probes chemo- biosensors. Tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivatives are the most attractive species notable AIE performance, facile synthesis, flexible structure modification.

Abstract Development of highly efficient circularly polarized organic light‐emitting diodes (CPOLEDs) has gained increasing interest as they show improved luminous efficiency and high contract 3D images in OLED displays. In this work, a series binaphthalene‐containing luminogenic enantiomers with aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) delayed fluorescence properties is designed synthesized. These molecules can emit from green to red light depending on the solvent polarity due twisted...

Abstract Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) is commonly observed for propeller‐like luminogens with aromatic rotors and stators. Herein, we report that a coumarin derivative containing seven‐membered aliphatic ring (CD‐7) but no showed typical AIE characteristics, whereas its analogue five‐membered (CD‐5) exhibited an opposite aggregation‐caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Experimental theoretical results revealed large in CD‐7 weakens structural rigidity promotes out‐of‐plane twisting of the...
