Abstract

Eight triphenylamine (TPA)-based Schiff bases that exhibit different aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) behavior in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/water mixtures have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties in solution, aqueous suspension, film, and the crystalline state along with their relationships were comparatively investigated. The single-crystal structures of 1–8 ...
