A family of novel N,O-chelated BF2 complexes with intense solution and solid-state emission were synthesized and their photophysical properties were studied.
The first example showing that the AIE mechanism can be completely changed from restriction of TICT to RIR by the introduction of a tetraphenylethene group onto a molecule with ESIPT character is reported herein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
