Herein we report the multifunctional characteristics such as aggregation induced emission (AIE), triboluminescence (TL), mechanofluorochromism and temperature sensing of molecular siblings 1 (10-(dimesitylboryl)phenothiazine) and 2 (10-(bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)boryl)phenothiazine).
Systems, mechanisms and unique phenomena associated with fluorescence enhancement from molecules to materials are reviewed, highlighting the critical role of molecular assembly.
A diaminodicyanoquinodimethane molecule based material undergoes reversible crystalline–amorphous transformation upon external stimuli. Significantly, delayed fluorescence and phosphorescence are observed in the material, with an unusual enhancement of the latter in the amorphous state, in sharp contrast to the decrease in fluorescence.
Bright tunable solid state emission, intriguing mechanochromism and polymorphism dependent optical characteristics of a series of borylated aryl amines were demonstrated.
The
structure and photophysical properties of two known borylanilines,
4-(dimesitylboryl)aniline (1) and 4-(dimesitylboryl)-3,5-dimethylaniline
(2), have been investigated. 1 and 2 have similar donor and acceptor centers but differ in their
molecular conformations. Compounds 1 and 2 have been structurally characterized, and they exhibit a rare form
of intermolecular N–H- - -π electrostatic
interactions. The structure and photophysical properties of 1 and 2 are discussed in the context of computational
results.
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.
