Abstract

A novel tetraphenylethene derivative with a rhodamine unit was successfully synthesized via high-efficiency Suzuki coupling reaction. The highly solid-state emissive target fluorescent molecule exhibited significative aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) feature. Furthermore, the luminogen showed reversible mechanochromic luminescence behavior involving color change from orange to red. In addition, the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) test results verified that the mechanofluorochromic phenomenon of luminogen 1 was attributed to a morphological transformation between the crystalline and amorphous states.
