The present review discusses selected compounds based on polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs); mainly those containing naphthalene, anthracene, fluorene, pyrene …

Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property have attracted
considerable interests for their promising applications in light-emitting and display devices …

Exceptional challenges have confronted the rational design of colorimetric sensors for
saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (SAHCs). The main reasons for this difficulty are the …

Developing multitask smart materials is in high demand and remains challenging in the
organic fluorophore research field. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of …

A tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivative substituted with the electron‐acceptor 1, 3‐indandione
(IND) group was designed and prepared. The targeted IND‐TPE reserves the intrinsic …

Abstract Several 1-and 2-position naphthylethylene-substituted 4H-pyran derivatives
comprising two different end groups were synthesized. These two pairs of positional isomers …

Herein, a novel supramolecular gel was fabricated through the bi-component co-assembly
strategy of commercially available 10, 12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) and laboratory …

A series of amphiphilic diazapyrenes exhibiting switchable fluorescence under the stimulus
of mechanical force or water vapor are reported for the first time. Comprehensive studies of …

Abstract Three tetra‐aryl substituted 1, 3‐butadiene derivatives with aggregation enhanced
emission (AEE) and mechanochromic fluorescence behavior have been rationally designed …

Abstract Four derivatives of 9, 10-bis [2-(2-alkoxynaphthalen-1-yl) vinyl] anthracene (BNAs)
were designed, successfully synthesized and characterized by spectrofluorometer, powder …
