Ionic Rigid Organic Dual-State Emission Compound With Rod-Shaped and Conjugated Structure for Sensitive Al³⁺ Detection.

ABSTRACT: Dual-state emission (DSE) luminogens, a type of luminescent material which can effectively emit light in both dilute solution and solid states, have attracted tremendous attention, due to their widespread applications in chemical sensing, biological imaging, organic electronic devices, and so on. They overcome the shortcomings of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-type compounds that do not emit light in dilute solutions and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ)-type compounds that do not emit light in a concentrated or aggregated state. This work reports a novel ionic DSE material based on rigid rod-shaped organic conjugated structure using 4,4'-bis(2-sulfonatostyryl) biphenyl disodium salt (BSBDS); the ion repulsion effect can reduce the strong π-π interaction in aggregation and achieve high-efficiency luminescence in solution and solid states. In addition to excellent DSE characteristics, BSBDS also exhibits a mechanochromic nature and sensitive detection performance for aluminum ion (Al³⁺).
