Abstract

Conjugated oligocarbazoles with a 9,10-divinylanthracene core have been synthesized, and exhibit the transition from aggregation-induced emission (AIE) to aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) behaviour with extending conjugation length; self-assembly of the Cz4 molecule affords nanorings with high fluorescent efficiency.
