Herein, natural-synthetic hybrid dual-state luminescent conducting polymers (DLCPs/DLCP1-DLCP8) possessing significant optoelectrochemical properties are strategically developed by the polymerization of prop-2-enamide, cis-butenedioic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonic acid, and in situ-generated 2-(3-acrylamidopropanamido)-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonic acid alongside the grafting of gum tragacanth. The spectroscopic data of aliphatic DLCPs affirm DLCP7 as the most stable supramolecular assembly endowing optoelectronic properties. Computational calculations identified -C(═O)NH-, -C(═O)OH, -OH, and -SOH as subluminophores. The absorption spectra, excitation wavelength-/solvent-polarity-/concentration-dependent luminescence, solid state luminescence, aggregation-induced enhanced luminescence, and time-correlated single photon count (TCSPC) studies confirm the occurrence of aggregation-mediated intramolecular through-space charge transfer (ITSCT) in the excited state of DLCP7. Mulliken charge, natural bond orbital, dipole moments, and electronic potential surface analyses confirm the charge donor-acceptor system in DLCP7. Furthermore, the selective optoelectronic response of DLCP7 toward Ca/Cu(II) at 438/574 nm is explored using ultraviolet-visible spectra, TCSPC analyses, a dynamic light scattering study, and computational investigations. The chelation-enhanced luminescence and ITSCT inhibition are responsible for turn-on and turn-off detections of Ca and Cu(II), respectively. Cu(II) → Cu(I) reduction in a DLCP7 solution is inferred from electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses. The conductivities of 9.65 × 10 S cm (solid state) and 44.35 × 10 S cm (solution) in DLCP7 are validated by current-voltage and electrochemical impedance measurements. Again, strong electronic conductivities of 43.89 × 10 S cm (solid state)/53.34 × 10 S cm (solution) and 45.42 × 10 S cm (solid state)/64.81 × 10 S cm (solution) are observed in Ca-DLCP7 and Cu(II)-DLCP7, respectively.

Cyclic oligomers with multiple redox centers are ideal models for intramolecular electron transfer processes, as they feature well-defined spatial geometries and degenerate energy states. The design and synthesis of such structures with strongly interacting monomers, however, remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a one-pot synthesis of an acetylene-bridged ferrocene macrocycle (9) using alkyne metathesis, with a remarkable 43% isolated yield.

In recent years, due to their excellent biocompatibility and environmental friendliness, non-conjugated AIE polymers have attracted extensive attention. However, problems such as short emission wavelengths and low fluorescence lifetimes have severely limited the applications of these materials. In this paper, a siloxane monomer A1 containing an imine bond was designed and synthesized, and it was used as a raw material to synthesize a hyperbranched polysiloxane P1 with imine bonds and hydroxyl groups at the end of the polymer chain.

Through-space charge transfer (TSCT) thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials have recently shown great potential for applications in X-ray detection and imaging due to their efficient triplet exciton utilization. By rational tuning of molecular/electronic structures of D and A moieties and precise regulation of TSCT interactions, tunable emission and TSCT-based TADF can be achieved. However, the TSCT interactions in organic D-A systems are somewhat difficult to design and control precisely resulting from relatively weak D-A supramolecular interactions.

Noncovalent through-space conjugation (TSC), a unique property of π-charge delocalization, has emerged as a powerful strategy for modulating the optoelectronic properties of organic materials. However, the quantitative relationship among the molecular structure, the strength of TSC, and optoelectronic properties has not yet been established. Here, using typical conjugated aromatic compounds as model systems, it is revealed that TSC arises from the interaction of π-orbitals, and a molecular descriptor, composed of geometric parameters, is proposed to characterize the strength of TSC.

The substituent design and photophysical property manipulation are of paramount importance in fluorescent probe design, particularly crucial for chemically inactive molecules that lack reactive functional groups, such as synthetic cannabinoids. Here, a ratiometric fluorescent probe, 2-(5-phenyl-8-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrimido[4,5-]pyridazin-2-yl)phenol (DPTF), was selected and synthesized using trifluoromethyl as an electron acceptor for the sensitive and specific detection of one representative synthetic cannabinoid, JWH-018 (1-naphthyl(1-pentyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methanone). The DPTF probe, driven by intermolecular through-space charge transfer (TSCT), exhibits a theoretically calculated limit of detection (LOD) of 2.
