Intermolecular interactions boost aggregation induced emission in carbazole Schiff base derivatives.

Six D-π-A model compounds (compounds 1-6) were conveniently synthesized and characterized by H NMR, C NMR, MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction. One photon absorption and emission properties were studied by using a series of UV-visible and fluorescence spectra and theoretical calculations were applied to investigate the structure-property relationships, which showed that all six compounds possessed an obvious intramolecular charge transfer process which could be attributed to their optical properties. We simultaneously investigated their fluorescence emission performance in water/acetonitrile mixtures and found that they all have outstanding aggregation induced emission properties.

Bis((E)-2-{3-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl-κN (3))styr-yl]-5,5-di-methyl-cyclo-hex-2-enyl-idene}malono-nitrile)-diiodido-mercury(II).

In the title compound, [HgI2(C22H20N4)2], the Hg(II) cation is situated on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two iodide anions and two imidazolyl N atoms in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal, C-H⋯I inter-actions link the mol-ecules into chains extending in [010], which are further linked into sheets parallel to (100) through C-H⋯N hydrogen bonding inter-actions.

Aggregation-induced fluorescence behavior of triphenylamine-based Schiff bases: the combined effect of multiple forces.

Eight triphenylamine (TPA)-based Schiff bases that exhibit different aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) behavior in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/water mixtures have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties in solution, aqueous suspension, film, and the crystalline state along with their relationships were comparatively investigated. The single-crystal structures of 1-8 indicate that compact π···π stacking or excimers induce fluorescence quenching of 1, 2, 5, and 7.
