One D-A type cruciform luminophore MDCS-BC based on carbazole has been prepared. We observed that this compound exhibits unique intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) and typical aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) properties with the solid-state luminescence efficiency of 0.184. Moreover, this luminophore shows a significant stimuli-induced emission enhancement and chromism effect with good reversibility. Upon grinding, the fluorescence color of the as-prepared samples can change from blue (454 nm) to green (504 nm). What is unexpected is that the fluorescence efficiency of the initial powder is dramatically increased from 0.184 to 0.424 upon grinding. The results of PXRD, DSC and spectral properties studies show that the mechanical force-induced luminescence enhancement and chromism behavior of MDCS-BC originates from the transition between crystal and amorphous morphology, and the large red-shift and the emission enhancement inducing by grinding may be attributed to the planarization of the molecular conformation and subsequent planar ICT process.

Article Synopsis
- Zero-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic bismuth halides, specifically two mixed-cation-phase bismuth chlorides, are being explored as lead-free materials due to their unique properties.
- These compounds exhibit interesting photoluminescence effects, with one showing dual emissions (blue fluorescence and yellow-green phosphorescence) and the other displaying a wide-band yellow-green emission.
- Additionally, their structures allow for significant electron transfer and temperature-dependent proton conduction, which can be enhanced by light, indicating potential applications in smart materials.

Responsive photonic crystals (RPCs) exhibit dynamic chromism upon trigger by various solvents, showing potential applications in qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of multicomponent solvents. However, distinguishing similar solvents, especially traces of cosolvents, remains challenging due to the limited sensitivity of RPCs. To address this, we herein introduce brush-like polymeric gels inside photonic crystals, forming a brush-like polymeric photonic gel (BPPG) that can trace tiny component changes.

If a suitable substituent is introduced into the structure, it will have the dual function of chromism and luminescence, which will broaden its application field. Here, Vio1·2Cl and Vio2·2Br were synthesized by introducing aromatic acetophenone and naphthophenone substituents into the viologen structure.

According to current research, anti-cancer anthraquinones impact telomere disruption and may interact with G-quadruplex DNA that triggers signaling to apoptosis. The present study represents the biophysical investigation of oxidative stress, late apoptosis, and induced senescence among cancer cells after binding laboratory synthesized piperidine-based anthraquinone derivatives, 2, 6- Bis [(3-piperidino)acetamido)]anthracene-9,10-dione (N1P) and 2, 6-Bis [piperidino)propionamido]anthracene-9,10-dione (N2P), with G-quadruplex DNA. We employed biophysical approaches to explore the interaction of synthetic anthraquinone derivatives with quadruplex DNA sequences to influence biological activities in the presence of K and Na cations.
