Abstract

1,2-Diphenyl-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-cyclopentadiene (DPMPCP) was synthesized via aldol condensation reaction followed by cyclization and dehydration reaction. Its structure was characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra, high-resolution mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence spectra of DPMPCP in solution and aggregation state were studied. It shows solvent-dependent fluorescence emission and aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristic when DPMPCP aggregated in water/acetonitrile mixture or in crystals. The crystal structure analysis reveals combination effects of J-aggregation molecule stacking and restriction of intramolecular rotation by intermolecular interactions on AIEE. Additionally, the thermal stability, electrochemical property and DFT calculation of DPMPCP were investigated.
