Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has become a hot research area and tremendous amounts of AIE-active luminogens (AIEgens) have been generated. To further promote the development of AIE, new AIEgens are highly desirable. Herein, new AIEgens based on tetraphenylpyrimidine (TPPM) are rationally designed according to the AIE mechanism of restriction of intramolecular motion, and facilely prepared under mild reaction conditions. The photophysical property of the generated TPPM, TPPM-4M and TPPM-4P are systematically investigated and the results show that they feature the aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) characteristics. Theoretical study shows the high-frequency bending vibrations in the central pyrimidine ring of TPPM derivatives dominate the nonradiative decay channels. Thanks to the AEE feature, their aggregates can be used to detect explosives with super-amplification quenching effects, and the sensing ability is higher than typical AIE-active tetraphenylethene. It is anticipated that TPPM derivatives could serve as a new type of widely used AIEgen based on their facile preparation and good thermo-, photo- and chemostabilities.
聚集诱导发光(AIE)已成为一个热门的研究领域,并产生了大量具有 AIE 活性的发光剂(AIEgens)。为了进一步推动 AIE 的发展,新的 AIEgens 非常值得期待。本文根据限制分子内运动的 AIE 机理,合理设计了基于四苯基嘧啶(TPPM)的新型 AIEgens,并在温和的反应条件下进行了简单制备。系统研究了生成的 TPPM、TPPM-4M 和 TPPM-4P 的光物理性质,结果表明它们具有聚集增强发射(AEE)特性。理论研究表明,TPPM 衍生物中心嘧啶环的高频弯曲振动主导了非辐射衰变通道。得益于 AEE 特性,其聚合体可用于检测具有超放大淬灭效应的爆炸物,其传感能力高于典型的 AIE 活性四苯基噻吩。由于 TPPM 衍生物易于制备,且具有良好的热稳定性、光稳定性和化学稳定性,因此有望成为一种广泛应用的新型 AIEgen。
