Single-benzene solid emitters with lasing properties based on aggregation-induced emissions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 May 5;52(39):6577-80. doi: 10.1039/c6cc02616h.

Abstract

The very simple organic molecules have been employed to construct highly efficient single-benzene solid emitters (quantum yields: 0.72-0.84) with crystal lasing properties based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) generated through an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction.
