A new class of organic nanoparticles (CN-MBE nanoparticles) with a mean diameter ca. 30−40 nm, which exhibit strongly enhanced fluorescence emission, were prepared by simple reprecipitation method. CN-MBE (1-cyano-trans-1,2-bis-(4'-methylbiphenyl)ethylene) is very weakly fluorescent in solution, but the intensity increased almost 700 times nanoparticles. Enhanced emission attributed to synergetic effect intramolecular planarization and J-type aggregate formation (restricted excimer...
