Abstract:Molecular structure, external stimuli, and environmental factors all have a strong effect on the internal molecular rotation and vibration of aggregate-induced emission (AIE) luminogens. Here, we report the AIE effect for several newly synthesized amphiphilic tetra(benzimidazole)phenylethene (TBiPE) derivatives and their binuclear N-heterocyclic carbene silver (NHC-Ag) metallacycles in solutions, aggregates, and Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) films. Monolayer behaviors and microscopic images indicate that introducing … Show more
