Two stable, purely organic luminogens exhibit both mechano- (ML) and photoluminescence (PL) with dual fluorescence-phosphorescence emissions at room temperature. Careful analysis of the crystal structures, coupled with theoretical calculations, demonstrate that room-temperature phosphorescence and ML properties are strongly related to molecular packing. In particular, the formation and fracture of molecular dimers with intermolecular charge-transfer properties has a significant effect on intersystem crossing, as well as excited triplet state emissions, in both PL and ML processes.

The surge of lateral flow immunoassays (LFAs) stimulates researchers to explore the novel vibrant aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen)-doped nanoparticles to improve the accuracy and reliability of LFAs. However, the loading amount of AIEgens currently used for the LFA in microspheres is limited due to their symmetrical large conjugated skeleton structure, which significantly reduces the fluorescence brightness of the signal reporter in the LFA. Herein, an ionic AIEgens with a donor-acceptor type was developed as the signal reporter of the LFA for C-reactive protein (CRP).

In this study, we investigated the aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF) properties of three luminogens - TN, TA, and TP. Our comprehensive theoretical analysis reveals a significant reduction in the Δ in their aggregated or solid-state, activating TADF, on a ∼μs time-scale. Additionally, these luminogens demonstrate two-photon excited anti-Stokes photoluminescence emission and improved photocurrent generation, attributed to their strong charge transfer characteristics and longer singlet exciton lifetimes.

Precise control of selective alkene functionalization is a continuing challenge in the chemical community. In this study, we develop a substitution-controlled regiodivergent thioetherification of di- or trisubstituted alkenes using 10 mol % tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(CF)] as a catalyst and N-thiosuccinimide as a sulfenylating reagent. This metal-free borane catalyzed C-S bond forming method is utilized for a Csp-H sulfenylation reaction to synthesize an array of diphenylvinylsulfide derivatives with good to excellent yields (25 examples, up to 91 % yield).

Article Synopsis
  • A series of fluorene-based gold(I) complexes I-VI were synthesized and analyzed using advanced techniques like NMR and X-ray diffraction.
  • The complexes exhibited varying colors of fluorescence (blue-green to yellow) in solid form, which could be altered through positional isomerism and increases in conjugation.
  • When ground, the fluorescence of these compounds decreased significantly, particularly complex IV, which demonstrated a strong mechanochromic effect, leading to an innovative dual information encryption system based on its properties.

For most self-luminous metal-organic framework (MOF)-involved electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems, the integration of exogenous coreactants is indispensable to promote ECL efficiency. However, the introduction of a coreactant into an electrolyte would result in poor stability, thereby inevitably affecting analytical accuracy. Herein, by employing aggregation-induced emission luminogens as ligands, we first synthesized one hexagonal prism-shaped MOF that displays robust and steady ECL signal without an exogenous coreactant.
