title: Stereoselective synthesis of folded luminogens with arene-arene stacking interactions and aggregation-enhanced emission.
abstract: Tetraphenylethene derivatives with a folded Z-conformation and aggregation-enhanced emission characteristics are synthesized from 2-arylbenzophenones. The intramolecular rotation of the folded luminogens is partially suppressed, resulting in improved emission efficiencies in solutions.
