Published: March 2025

We studied how ether-linked benzophenone and dibenzofuran/dibenzothiophene-functionalized benzophenone as auxiliary groups in carbazole-phthalonitrile conjugates influence aggregation-enhanced thermally activated delayed fluorescence (AE-TADF). CDBFPN and CDBTPN exhibited AE-TADF due to their unique butterfly-shaped geometries. In contrast, CBPN faces aggregation-caused quenching, underscoring the critical role of these functionalized groups in boosting the blue TADF properties.

Pyridinium Rotor Strategy toward a Robust Photothermal Agent for STING Activation and Multimodal Image-Guided Immunotherapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in triple-negative breast cancer could hinder the response to thorough immunotherapy and diminish the antitumor efficacy. Although the STING pathway emerges as a promising target to remedy defects, uncertain drug delivery might lead to off-target inflammatory reactions. Here, we manifest a novel phototheranostic agent with an aggregation-induced emission property that guided the pharmacological activation of a STING agonist for photothermal immunotherapy to create an immunologically "hot" tumor.

Design of Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Materials: Transition from Carbonyl to Amide-Based Acceptor.

Benzophenone skeletons containing a carbonyl unit (O=C) have been widely used as electron acceptors in the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. Herein, we present a novel molecular design concept for TADF materials by transitioning from a carbonyl to an amide (O=C-N) skeleton as the acceptor. The amide unit, compared to its carbonyl counterpart, offers a more stable electronic configuration.

Heat-activated second harmonic generation (SHG) switching materials are gaining interest for their ability to switch between SHG on and off states, offering potential in optoelectronic applications. The novel nonlinear optical (NLO) switch, (CHNO)(CHSO) (4-hydroxypyridinium methylsulfonate, 4HPMS), is a near-room-temperature thermal driven material with a strong SHG response (3.3 × KDP), making it one of the most potent heat-stimulated NLO switches.

Integrating aggregation-induced emission (AIE) into thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters holds great promise for the advancement of highly efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Despite recent advancements, a thorough comprehension of the underlying mechanisms remains imperative for the practical application of such materials. In this work, we introduce a novel approach aimed at modulating the TADF process by manipulating dynamic processes in excited states through aggregation effect.
