Abstract:
A single-state molecule compound with phenanthrene-imidazole as fluorescent core was synthesized. The compound emitted white light in solid state and exhibited aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristic in solution state. From photophysical properties, it was presumably that π-π stacking caused by the excimer, which generated between solid molecules, led to the emitting white light. In addition, in the solution state, with the increasing fraction of the poor solvent, the rotation of the compound molecule was inhibited, which led to the luminescence enhancement induced by aggregation. In the aspect of Pd0 response, compound 6 had a sensitive detection of Pd0. The bathochromic shift of emission peak from around 390nm to around 425nm and remained saturated within 30min. Compound 6 was stable at pH of 6-9 and the detection limit for metallic palladium was as low as 2.7nM.
