A panoramic review of the latest progress regarding mechano-responsive luminescence tetraphenylethylene derivatives with aggregation-induced emission properties.
Flexible hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (FHOFs) are quite rare but promising for applications in separation, sensing and host-guest chemistry. They difficult to stabilize, making their constructions a major challenge. Here, flexible HOF (named 8PN) with permanent porosity has been successfully constructed. Nine single crystals of 8PN different pore structures obtained, achieving large-scale void regulation from 4.4% 33.2% total cell volume. In response external stimuli, multimode...
Two heavy atom-free white-light emitting luminophores exhibit fluorescence–phosphorescence dual-emission and are multi-stimuli responsive at room temperature.
Abstract Soft luminescent materials are attractive for optoelectronic applications, however, switching dominant chromophores property enrichment remains a challenge. Herein, we report the first case of soft organic molecule (DOS) featuring selective expression chromophores. In response to various external stimuli, different DOS can take turns working through conformation changes, exhibiting full‐colour emissions peaking from 469 nm 583 ten individual single crystals. Dynamic triplet‐exciton...
Both photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles and photoactivatable proteins have been used for super-resolution far-field imaging on the nanometer scale, but photoactivating wavelength such photochemical events generally falls in near-UV (NUV) region (<420 nm), which is not preferred cellular imaging. However, using two near-IR (NIR) photons that are lower energy, we can circumvent problems replace NUV single-photon excitations (e.g., 390 nm) with NIR two-photon 780 nm). Thus, demonstrated...

Strong solvent-dependent photoluminescence covering almost the whole visible spectrum AIE its nanoparticle state compared to solution are demonstrated.
Abstract It is discovered that “bridging” traditional persistent room‐temperature phosphorescence (pRTP) dibenzofuran moieties by intermolecular hydrogen bonding can induce interesting photophysical properties.

This study provides a reliable strategy to tune the mechanoluminescent colors by adjusting weak intermolecular interactions.
An original design strategy for the preparation of polymers with a low dielectric constant is presented. The key to this taking most advantage secondary relaxation behavior polymer chains obtain more free volume in bulk, which can effectively reduce polymer.
