title: The facile synthesis and optical waveguide properties of single-crystal 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene microrods.
abstract: Single-crystalline 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene (PPCP) microrods were prepared by a facile solution process. The PPCP microrods with smooth surfaces could absorb excitation light and propagate the photoluminescence (PL) emission. They showed excellent properties in the low optical loss of a single rod and feasible transfer between neighboring rods. Moreover, PPCP displayed typical aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics in the solution state.
