Abstract:
Symmetrical adamantane-substituted dithiomaleimides bearing different N-substituents exhibited aggregation-induced emission with distinct fluorescence properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed considerably different molecular packing motifs, providing a structural basis for these distinct fluorescence properties.

Polymer Classification: Crystallinity
Unlike ionic or small covalent molecules, polymers do not form crystalline solids due to the diffusion limitations of their long-chain structures. However, polymers contain microscopic crystalline domains separated by amorphous domains.
Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...
