Abstract

By introducing phenyl groups into the 2- and 6-positions of 11,11,12,12-tetracyano-9,10-anthraquinodimethane, a material (dP-TCAQ) with aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AEE) characteristics was synthesized. The AEE phenomenon was explained by analysis of its solid-state packing mode. To our best knowledge, this is the first report regarding 11,11,12,12-tetracyano-9,10-anthraquinodimethane with AEE behaviour.
