Popis: We demonstrate here that the Ugi-Sonogashira protocol can be successfully used to obtain five new molecular rotors 10a-e with strong emission. They have been synthesized by combining multicomponent Ugi stators and several aromatic rotary components: phenylene, p-xylene, naphthalene and anthracene. The synthesized conjugated rotors are highly fluorescent (Φf = 0.39 to Φf = 0.10), and changes in their emission were observed upon variations of the surrounding media. Particularly, we found that they are sensitive to aggregation (THF/water) or high viscosity (methanol/glycerol) conditions. This work paves the way to develop new emissive rotors with exciting photophysical properties.
