Abstract

We report a simple design and synthesis of a donor–acceptor tetraphenylethene–naphthalimide (TPE–NI) dyad, in which TPE acts both as an electron-donor for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and activator for aggregation induced emission (AIE). Strong solvent-dependent photoluminescence covering almost the whole visible spectrum and AIE in its nanoparticle state compared to its solution state are demonstrated.
