Published: September 2006

A novel molecular arrangement of anthracene moieties and the corresponding rare solid-state excimer emission is obtained by utilization of a ternary system. The system consists of ammonium anthracene disulfonate and adducts, and shows the modulation of the solid-state emission mode depending on the adducts. The adducts act as molecular information sources that are transcribed to the arrangement, and the arrangement is translated into the emission mode. This series of processes might be mimicry of central dogma.

Aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) reduces luminescence and compromises brightness in solid-state displays, necessitating strategies to mitigate its effects for enhanced performance. This study presents cost-effective method to mitigate ACQ of pyrene by co-assembling polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons within low molecular weight gelator. ​Synthesized from readily available materials-cholesteryl chloroformate and pentaerythritol-in one-step reaction, gelator incorporates four cholesteryl units, reported to promote robust supramolecular gels in various solvents.

The optoelectronic properties of pyrene diimides (PyDIs) are of strategic interest given the successful application of similar rylene diimides as n-type organic semiconductors in a variety of organic electronics. We present an improved synthesis for 1,5,6,10-pyrene diimide and the first report of its isomer, 1,8,9,10-pyrene diimide. We demonstrate the effect of imide placement on the core structure, optical properties, and electron affinities.

We present the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of two pyrene-modified () pincer bismuth complexes, where the pyrenyl residues are either part of the cyclometalating pincer ligand (1) or bound as monodentate ligands to the Bi ion (2). Both complexes are dually emissive at 77 K. For complex 2, pyrenyl phosphorescence persists at r.
