Article Abstract
Three novel D-A-D-structured emitters derived from 9, 10-dithienylanthracene derivatives (DTAs) were synthesized and characterized. These DTAs consist of substituted 9-phenyl-9H-carbazole (BPCB-DTA), triphenylamine (BTPA-DTA) and N, N-dimethylaniline (BDMA-DTA) as donor units, with the phenylacetonitrile group serving as the acceptor. The impact of steric hindrance and electronic effect of the substituents on the optical properties has been thoroughly discussed. All DTAs exhibited aggregation-induced emission, except for BDMA-DTA, which displayed gradual fluorescence quenching as the water fraction increased from 0 to 90 %. Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that aggregates formed morphologically regular nanorods due to the self-assembled process. Moreover, BPCB-DTA and BTPA-DTA demonstrated reversible mechanofluorochromic and vapochromic luminescence behaviors with a high color contrast mechanofluorochromism ranging from yellow to bright green coloration. These results suggest that large volume and non-coplanar fluorophores play a crucial role in constructing DTA-type AIE dyes. Additionally, fluorescence imaging experiments conducted on HeLa cells confirmed the bio-imaging capabilities of these DTAs.

Among the existing aggregation-induced emission luminogen archetypes, tetraphenylbenzene is one of the simplest and less studied for its aggregation-induced emission properties. In this study, we give insight into the structure-AIE relationship, focusing on the functionalization of the two free positions of the benzene core of tetraphenylbenzene. Our study reveals that the flexibility and rigidity of the substituents noticeably impact the aggregation-induced emission expression, allowing the inducement of either aggregation-induced emission enhancement or pure aggregation-induced emission.

Latent fingerprints (LFPs), as critical carriers of personal identification information, present a long-standing challenge for high-resolution imaging in forensic science. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens), known for their superior luminescence in aggregated or high-viscosity environments, have emerged as ideal candidates for high-contrast fingerprint visualization. In this study, we designed a series of novel AIEgens by introducing diphenylamine (DPA) donor groups at the 3- and 11-positions of a quinazolinone core, effectively constructing twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) systems.

Conventional phototherapeutic agents for cancer treatment have insufficient therapeutic efficacy and limit biomedical applications due to mono-therapeutic approach and nonspecific organelle targeting. Herein, A series of multifunctional luminogens with electron donor (D)- π-acceptor (A) structure, named YBL-OH, YBL and YOL were designed, which exhibit typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. And their luminescence properties can be modulated by adjusting the strength of the D-A structure.

Fluorescent metal organic frameworks (FMOFs) constructed by encapsulating aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) into frameworks have garnered increasing attention due to their ability to overcome the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of traditional fluorescent materials such as organic dyes, quantum dots, and up-conversion nanoparticles. However, conventional AIEgens usually contain aromatic groups that may pose potential health risks. Additionally, the quality of bisphosphonates (BPs), first-line treatment drugs in skeletal-related diseases, is critical to assure their effectiveness and safety.
