Utilising tetraphenylethene as a dual activator for intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation induced emission†
Abstract
We report a simple design and synthesis of a donor–acceptor tetraphenylethene–naphthalimide (TPE–NI) dyad, in which TPE acts both as an electron-donor for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and activator for aggregation induced emission (AIE). Strong
