Popis: | Light-emitting materials have received considerable attention because of their broad applications as substrates in bio-imaging and sensing components, light-emitting displays, and lighting devices. Herein, we developed fluorinated tolane and bistolane derivatives containing fluorinated aromatic rings and demonstrated their intense photoluminescence (PL) characteristics in crystalline powder states. We focused on molecules showing varied PL behavior with a change in the molecular aggregated structures. We synthesized novel fluorinated tolane dyads consisting of fluorinated tolane-based &pi conjugated scaffolds and flexible alkylene linkages to control both the electron-density distribution and molecular aggregated states. Fluorinated tolane dyads connected with an alkylene linkage showed blue PL in a dilute solution, but the PL efficiency achieved was low. In contrast, the crystalline powder of tolane dyad substrates exhibited dual emission&mdash relatively intense blue to deep blue PL&mdash originating from monomer and aggregate emission. The PL behavior changed significantly with the alkylene linkage and the application of a mechanical stimulus to the crystalline powder sample. The fluorinated tolane dyads developed in this study could serve as stimulus-responsive photoluminescent materials suitable for optical applications. |
