Fluorescent dyes, especially those emitting in the long wavelength region, are excellent candidates in the area of bioassay and bioimaging. In this work, we report a series of simple organic fluorescent dyes consisting of electron-donating aniline groups and electron-withdrawing barbituric acid groups. These dyes are very easy to construct while emitting strongly in the red region in their solid state. The photophysical properties of these dyes, such as solvatochromism and aggregation-induced emission, are systematically characterized. Afterward, the structure–property relationships of these barbituric acid based fluorogens are discussed. Finally, we demonstrate their potential applications for protein amyloid fibril detection.

The controlled preparation of well-defined distorted nanographenes by a bottom-up approach based on organic synthesis permits the direct establishment of unprecedented structure–property relationships in carbon nanostructures. The simultaneous incorporation of various defects in nanographenes affords highly curved structures with novel or enhanced photophysical properties. In this sense, we recently reported a fully helical and saddle-shaped nanographene ribbon containing the first undecabenzo[7]helicene unit. Both its linear and nonlinear optical properties are enhanced in comparison with those of other partially π-extended [7]helicenes. Moreover, the new superhelicene exhibits the highest emission dissymmetry factor (g lum) reported to date for a homochiral nanographene. The combination of both nonlinear and chiroptical properties in nanographenes opens up new possible future applications for those distorted nanostructures.1 Introduction2 Synthesis of Embedded Seven-Membered Rings3 Combination of Defects: Seven-Membered Rings and π-Extended Helicenes4 Conclusions and Outlook

The liquid-crystalline (LC) and photophysical properties of molecules are very sensitive to their electronic and molecular aggregate structures. Herein, to shed light on the structure–property relationships of pentafluorinated bistolane-based photoluminescence (PL) liquid crystals (PLLCs) previously reported by our group, we synthesized pentafluorinated bistolanes with variable flexible chains and evaluated their LC and photophysical properties. The incorporation of an oxygen atom (to afford a 2-methoxyethoxy unit) or an oxygen atom and a methyl group (to afford a 1-methoxyprop-2-oxy unit) into the flexible butoxy chain significantly decreased the temperature of the crystalline-to-LC phase transition, and a chiral nematic phase comprising helical molecular aggregates was observed for the chiral 1-methoxyprop-2-oxy group–bearing bistolane. The synthesized bistolanes exhibited strong blue PL in both solution and crystalline phases; the featuring PL characteristics were maintained in the LC phase (produced by the crystalline-to-LC phase transition) except for a slight PL color change. Thus, it was concluded that the PL behavior of pentafluorinated bistolanes can be modulated by the choice of a suitable flexible chain, and the obtained insights are believed to facilitate the application of PLLCs in thermosensing PL materials.

Luminescent molecular aggregates have attracted worldwide attention because of their potential applications in many fields. The luminescent properties of organic aggregates are complicated and highly morphology-dependent, unraveling the intrinsic mechanism behind is urgent. This review summarizes recent works on investigating the structure–property relationships of organic molecular aggregates at different environments, including crystal, cocrystal, amorphous aggregate, and doped systems by multiscale modeling protocol. We aim to explore the influence of intermolecular non-covalent interactions on molecular packing and their photophysical properties and then pave the effective way to design, synthesize, and develop advanced organic luminescent materials.

The rational design and preparation of three A2B type Co(III)triarylcorroles with push- and pull-substituents are reported. The structure-property relationships were identified by comparing their optically spectroscopic and electrochemical properties to trends predicted in DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The results demonstrate that the Co(III)triarylcorroles are highly efficient catalysts for electrocatalyzed hydrogen evolutions (HERs) and oxygen reductions (ORRs), and that their reactivity can be modulated by changing the meso-B-substituent of the Co(III)Corroles.

AbstractTo develop efficient organic and/or hybrid organic-inorganic solar energy devices, it is necessary to use, among other components, an active donor–acceptor layer with highly ordered nanoscale morphology. In an idealized morphology, the effectiveness of internal processes is optimized leading to an efficient conversion of photons to electricity. Using a poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(L-lactide) rod-coil block copolymer as a structure-directing agent, we have rationally designed and developed an ordered nanoscale morphology consisting of self-assembled poly(3-hexylthiophene) donor domains of molecular dimension, each of them separated by fullerene C60 hydroxide acceptor domains. Using this morphological control, one can begin to probe structure-property relationships with unprecedented detail with the ultimate goal of maximizing the performance of future organic/hybrid photovoltaic devices.
