Abstract Light emission of 2‐(2,6‐bis(( E )‐4‐(diphenylamino)styryl)‐4 H ‐pyran‐4‐ylidene)malononitrile (TPA‐DCM) is weakened by aggregate formation. Attaching tetraphenylethene (TPE) units as terminals to TPA‐DCM dramatically changes its behavior: the resulting fluorogen, )‐4‐(phenyl(4′‐(1,2,2‐triphenylvinyl)‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4‐yl)amino)styryl)‐4 (TPE‐TPA‐DCM), more emissive in state, showing novel phenomenon aggregation‐induced (AIE).

Planar donor and acceptor (D–A) conjugated structures are generally believed to be the standard for architecting highly efficient photothermal theranostic agents, in order restrict intramolecular motions aggregates (nanoparticles). However, other channels of extra nonradiative decay may blocked. Now this challenge is addressed by proposing an "abnormal" strategy based on molecular motion aggregates. Molecular rotors bulky alkyl chains grafted central D–A core lower intermolecular...
