Abstract
Five novel tetraphenylethylene-based donor-acceptor (D-A) fluorescent luminogens TPE-1-5 were designed and synthesized. All five molecules exhibit solvatochromism and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior with bright tunable emission colors in the solid state. Importantly, TPE-1 and TPE-2 display red-shifted mechanofluorochromic (MFC) properties under external force, which can be converted to the original state upon fumigation of dichloromethane. According to powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis, the MFC phenomena are related with crystalline-to-crystalline phase transition. Their emission behavior were further investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and singly crystal X-ray analysis (XRD), which clearly demonstrates that TPE-1-5 adopt highly twisted conformational structures with intrinsic intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties. Moreover, TPE-5 demonstrates fluorescence sensing capability for both Fe2+ and Fe3+ with high sensitivity and anti-interference performance.
期刊介绍:
Dyes and Pigments covers the scientific and technical aspects of the chemistry and physics of dyes, pigments and their intermediates. Emphasis is placed on the properties of the colouring matters themselves rather than on their applications or the system in which they may be applied.
Thus the journal accepts research and review papers on the synthesis of dyes, pigments and intermediates, their physical or chemical properties, e.g. spectroscopic, surface, solution or solid state characteristics, the physical aspects of their preparation, e.g. precipitation, nucleation and growth, crystal formation, liquid crystalline characteristics, their photochemical, ecological or biological properties and the relationship between colour and chemical constitution. However, papers are considered which deal with the more fundamental aspects of colourant application and of the interactions of colourants with substrates or media.
The journal will interest a wide variety of workers in a range of disciplines whose work involves dyes, pigments and their intermediates, and provides a platform for investigators with common interests but diverse fields of activity such as cosmetics, reprographics, dye and pigment synthesis, medical research, polymers, etc.
