Aggregation-Induced Emission of Tetraarylethene Luminogens
Abstract
It has been a textbook knowledge that chromophore aggregation generally quenches light emission. While in 2001, we discovered a novel phenomenon of aggregation-induced emission (AIE): a series of propeller-shaped molecules were found nonluminescent in the solution state but emissive in the aggregate and solid states. Attracted by the intriguing phenomenon and its fascinating perspectives, we launched a research program on developing new AIE luminogens and exploring their high-tech applications. In this review, we present our recent works on developing a novel AIE system based on tetraarylethenes. We show that restriction of intramolecular rotation is the main cause for the AIE effect. Utilizing such treasured AIE characteristics, the tetraarylethenes can find an array of applications, including fluorescence sensors, biological probes, and active materials in the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes. Keywords: Chromophore, aggregation, tetraarylethene, light emission, light-emitting diode, excimer, sensor, biological probe

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
