Aggregation-induced emission of 1-methyl-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole

Aggregation greatly boosts emission efficiency of the silole, turning it from a weak luminophor into a strong emitter.

Fluorescent bio/chemosensors based on silole and tetraphenylethene luminogens with aggregation-induced emission feature

New fluorescent sensors have been developed, utilizing the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attribute of silole and tetraphenylethene luminogens. In this feature article, we b...

Restriction of Intramolecular Motions: The General Mechanism behind Aggregation‐Induced Emission

Abstract Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) has been harnessed in many systems through the principle of restriction of intramolecular rotations (RIR) based on mechanistic unders...

2,3,4,5-Tetraphenylsiloles with different 1,1-substituents on the ring silicon atoms, i.e., 1,1-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole (1), 1-methyl-1-(3-chloropropyl)-2,3,4,5-tetra...

Electronic Coupling between Two Cyclometalated Ruthenium Centers Bridged by 1,3,6,8-Tetra(2-pyridyl)pyrene (tppyr)

A new cyclometalating bridging ligand 1,3,6,8-tetra(2-pyridyl)pyrene was designed and synthesized through 4-fold Suzuki couplings between 1,3,6,8-tetrabromopyrene and 2-pyridylb...
