Development of a Multifunctional Aggregation-Induced Emission-Active White Light-Emissive Organic Sensor: A Combined Theoretical and Experimental Approach
Abstract:A far-red to near-infrared
(NIR) “aggregation-enhanced emission” (AEE)-active donor–acceptor
(D–A)-type probe (denoted as IMZ-CN) is designed and synthesized.
The probe IMZ-CN is designed rationally using the quantum mechanical
gap tuning (highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)–lowest
unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap, i.e., ΔE
g) approach. The probe is tethered with two
different functionalities, i.e., dicyanovinyl (DCV) and benzimidazole
(IMZ), which effectively lower the value of ΔE
g and ca… Show more
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.
