TL;DR: In this article, the restriction of intramolecular motion (RIM) is commonly adopted to achieve high luminescence for aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials, however, recent studies found that RIM cannot fully exp...

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanism of push-pull phenothiazine derivatives in water dispersions and in the solid state using time-resolved spectroscopy with nanosecond and femtosecond temporal resolution.

TL;DR: In this article , two isomers obtained by switching the electron acceptor head (either a methylpyridinium or a methylquinolinium) from the ortho to the para position have been scrutinized for their intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) character, by which their optical properties can be tuned, and their ability to interact strongly with nucleic acids.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of different substituents at the ortho position of the pyridine ring was investigated, and the results indicated that heavy atoms in organic fluorophores can be used as a new design strategy to obtain mechanoluminescent materials.

TL;DR: In this paper , a comprehensive time-resolved spectroscopic investigation of the excited-state deactivation mechanism in three push-pull isomers characterized by a phenothiazine electron donor, a benzothiazole electron acceptor, and a phenyl π-bridge where the connection is realized at the relative ortho, meta, and para positions.
