Abstract:
A new class of donor-acceptor-acceptor-type fluorophores was developed, incorporating thieno[3,2-b]thiophene S,S-dioxide and dimesitylboryl units as dual acceptors, along with aminoaryl groups serving as donors. These compounds exhibit deep-red to near-infrared fluorescence in low-polarity media, such as toluene and poly(methyl methacrylate) films. Substantial structural relaxation occurs in the excited state, even under such low-polarity conditions, resulting in a strongly red-shifted emission. Wavelength conversion films incorporating these fluorophores were fabricated via Förster resonance energy transfer from suitable host materials.
