Fluorescent probes that are able to directly measure viscosity attractive candidates for the study of intracellular environments. We report a new class luminescent rotors, based on sensitized emission terbium(III) complex.

Abstract It is commonly accepted that a full bandgap voltage required to achieving efficient electroluminescence (EL) in organic light-emitting diodes. In this work, we demonstrated molecules with large singlet-triplet splitting can achieve EL at voltages below the voltage. The originates from delayed fluorescence due triplet fusion. Finally, spite of lower quantum efficiency, blue fluorescent diode having power efficiency higher than some best thermally activated and phosphorescent diodes...
Abstract Organic donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) polymers or small molecules are widely investigated in organic solar cells due to their broad light absorption, narrow band gap, excellent charge mobility, and exciton seperation at the interface. However, studies of conjugated with D–A–D molecule structures as photocatalytically active materials still rare. In this study, an unprecedented demonstration that photocatalytic activity can fact be affected by tuning D A is given. Especially, EBE...
