Photo-Switchable Aggregation-Induced Emission of Bisthienylethene-Dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole Triad.

ABSTRACT: A bisthienylethene-dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole (BTE-2PBT) triad has been designed and synthesized based on our recent discovery of PBTs as atypical propeller-shaped novel AIEgens. The triad not only maintains the photochromic properties of BTE moiety in solution, film, and solid state but also exhibits remarkable AIE properties. Moreover, the fluorescence of BTE-2PBT PMMA film could be modulated with high contrast by alternate UV and visible light irradiation. Photoerasing, rewriting, and non-destructive readout of fluorescent images on BTE-2PBT PMMA film well demonstrate its potential application as optical memory media.

Methoxyquinolone-Benzothiazole Hybrids as New Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogens and Efficient Fluorescent Chemosensors for Cyanide Ions.

Project description:This work describes the synthesis and characterization of new quinolone-benzothiazole hybrids, the study of their aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, and the use of these systems as efficient fluorescent probes for cyanide ions. These conjugated derivatives are linked through a double bond favoring electronic communication, and together with their planar geometry, can strongly aggregate under solvophobic environments, leading to aggregation and exhibiting significant AIE behavior. The double bond between electroactive units is prone to nucleophilic addition reactions by cyanide ions, selectively, conducive to turning off the fluorescence properties, making this hybrid system an efficient probe for cyanide ions. These studies were theoretically explained using DFT and TD-DFT calculations.

Aggregation tailored emission of a benzothiazole based derivative: photostable turn on bioimaging.

Project description:Herein, we report a benzothiazole based probe which exhibits aggregation induced emission in mixed solvents, v/v THF : water system. The blue emission observed in the solution is ascribed to the enolic emission of the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) prone benzothiazole chromophore, as the aggregation induced by the protic solvent, water, is expected to restrict the phototautomerization of the probe to the keto form which generally emits in the red region. However, the green emission observed in the solid aggregated state is ascribed to its keto emission, as in the solid state the ESIPT process is activated owing to stable intramolecular hydrogen bonding, giving a keto-aggregation induced emission (AIE) coupled emission. The aggregation process is evident from the particle size and the change in morphology predicted by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively, in the aggregated state. Interestingly, the emission in the solution, as well as the solid state, is convincingly mimicked in the fluorescence imaging of various live cancer cells and plant roots.

Aggregation-induced emission and aggregation-promoted photochromism of bis(diphenylmethylene)dihydroacenes.

Project description:Reported herein is a new class of pure polycyclic hydrocarbon molecules, designed through a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) strategy, with unexpected photochromic properties. The restriction of intramolecular motion was found as a comprehensive mechanism for the AIE effect. The photochromism mechanism study revealed that the photocyclization reaction of cis-stilbene, the molecular conformation in the single crystal and the tetracene backbone should contribute to the unique photo behavior. In particular, the fast responsive, photo-reversible and thermo-irreversible photochromic effect facilitated in the solid state opens a new field of aggregation-promoted photochromism.

Gelation process visualized by aggregation-induced emission fluorogens.

Project description:Alkaline-urea aqueous solvent system provides a novel and important approach for the utilization of polysaccharide. As one of the most important polysaccharide, chitosan can be well dissolved in this solvent system, and the resultant hydrogel material possesses unique and excellent properties. Thus the sound understanding of the gelation process is fundamentally important. However, current study of the gelation process is still limited due to the absence of direct observation and the lack of attention on the entire process. Here we show the entire gelation process of chitosan LiOH-urea aqueous system by aggregation-induced emission fluorescent imaging. Accompanied by other pseudo in situ investigations, we propose the mechanism of gelation process, focusing on the formation of junction points including hydrogen bonds and crystalline.

Aggregation-Induced Emission Metallocuboctahedra for White Light Devices.

Project description:Materials for organic light-emitting devices which exhibit superior emission properties in both the solution and solid states with a high fluorescence quantum yield have been extensively sought after. Herein, two metallocages, S1 and S2, were constructed, and both showed typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features with intense yellow fluorescence. By adding blue-emissive 9,10-dimethylanthracene, pure white light emission can be produced in the solution of S1 and S2. Furthermore, due to the remarkable AIE feature and good fluorescence quantum yield in the solid state, metallocages are highly emissive in the solid state and can be utilized to coat blue LED bulbs or integrate with blue-emitting chips to obtain white light. This study advances the usage of metallocages as practical solid-state fluorescent materials and provides a fresh perspective on highly emissive AIE materials.

Recycled Plastic Content Quantified through Aggregation-Induced Emission.

Project description:The linearity of the plastics economy is wasteful and polluting. To encourage recycling and decrease diversion to landfill, new legislation within the EU and UK will tax single-use plastic products made with less than 30% recycled plastic. At present, quantitative determination of recycled content is elusive and existing methods are inconsistent. We present a fluorescence-based analytical technique to determine recycled content in plastic and (single use) packaging. Bathochromic shifts resulting from aggregation of the fluorescent brightener 4,4'-bis(2-benzoxazolyl) stilbene (BBS) in three commodity plastics [high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly(ethylene terephthalate)] at loadings ≤0.5 wt % were used to systematically quantify simulated recycled contents as low as 10 wt %. Linear correlations were found between recycled content and three fluorescence-based properties: emission, lifetime, and resulting color. We demonstrate how this multi-branched verification system is completely independent of sample dimensions and processing conditions, has a negligible effect on polymer properties, and is inexpensive and highly compatible with existing recycling infrastructure.

Aggregation-Induced Stimulated Emission of 100% Dye Microspheres.

Project description:Dyes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties have gained interests due to their bright luminescence in solid-state aggregates. While fluorescence from AIE dyes have been widely exploited, relatively little is known about aggregation-induced stimulated emission. Here, we investigated stimulated emission of tetraphenylethene (TPE)-based organoboron AIE dyes, TPEQBN, in thin films and in microcavity lasers. Using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, gain coefficients up to 230 cm-1 at 500 nm were measured. Using rate equations, we analyzed concentration- and pump-dependent gain dynamics as well as laser build up dynamics. During laser oscillation, radiative stimulated emission allows high instantaneous quantum yield greater than 90% to be achieved. We fabricated solid-state microspheres made of 100% AIE dyes via microfluidic emulsion and solvent evaporation method. Coupled with high gain and high refractive index of 1.76, microspheres as small as 2 μm in diameter showed lasing by nanosecond pumping with a threshold of ~10 pJ μm-2. Polymer coated, but not bare, microspheres were internalized by live cells and generated narrowband cavity mode emission from within the cytoplasm. Our work shows the potential of AIE dyes as laser materials.
