A multifunctional, solution processable, ultramicroporous polymer employed for white light emission in solution, nanoparticles, a gel and a transparent thin film.
Single-molecular white-light emissions were achieved through the simple but judicious combination of vibration-induced emission (VIE) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanisms.
This article presents a new strategy to achieve white-light emission from single tetraphenylethylene-substituted pyrenes (TPE-Pys) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics.
