title: Dibenzosuberenylidene-ended fluorophores: rapid and efficient synthesis, characterization, and aggregation-induced emissions.
abstract: A series of pi-conjugated compounds ending with dibenzosuberenylidene were synthesized efficiently. Their luminescence efficiencies were well-tuned by structural modification. Moreover, relative emission intensities were strongly affected by their existing appearances and exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior. Thus, emissions from nanoparticles, films, or powders were found to be more efficient than those from solutions. It demonstrated that these synthesized compounds might be practically used as fluorescent materials for potential optoelectronic applications.
