Abstract

A series of new carbazole-based luminophores (1-12) were synthesized and well characterized, which demonstrated aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties. The obtained experimental results demonstrated that the attachment of aromatic rotors to luminophore moieties would lead to the decreased quantum yields (measured in diluted solutions); the more rotors attached, the smaller the quantum yields tested. This further confirmed that the AIEE phenomena were caused by the restriction of the intramolecular vibrational and rotational motions in an indirect manner.
