Abstract

With saddle-shaped cyclooctatetrathiophene (COTh) and 1, 3, 5-triazine as building blocks, three derivatives bearing one, two and three COTh units are synthesized via Kumada-typed reaction. Theoretical calculations indicate that the two absorption peaks in long wavelength region are derived from intramolecular charge transfer (CT) absorption. 2, 4- Di(methoxyl)-6-(5, 8, 11-tris(trimethylsilyl)cycloocta [1, 2-b:4, 3-b':5, 6-b":8, 7-b'"]tetrathiophen-2-yl)-1, 3, 5-triazine (1), 2-meth- oxyl-4, 6-di(5, 8, 11-tris(trimethyl-silyl)cycloocta [1, 2-b:4, 3-b':5, 6-b":8, 7-b'"]tetrathiophen-2-yl)-1, 3, 5-triazine (2) and 2, 4, 6-tris- (5, 8, 11-tris(trimethylsilyl)cycloocta [1, 2-b:4, 3-b':5, 6-b":8, 7-b'"]tetrathiophen-2-yl)-1, 3, 5-triazine (3) exhibit intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state emission peaked in region of 560~570 nm in solution at room temperature, and give both local emission of COTh peaked at 400 nm and ICT state emission peaked in region of 480~500 nm in rigid solution at 77 K. In tetrahydrofuran (THF)-H2O binary solvent system, compounds 1, 2 and 3 show typical aggregation induced emissions (AIE), which may be controlled by mechanism of restriction of intramolecular rotations (RIR) and restriction of intramolecular vibration (RIV). Crystal structure of 1 shows that intramolecular two rings of triazine and its linked thiophene are planar. There are strong C-C interactions between intermolecular rings of triazine and thiophene, which restrict the intramolecular rotation between triazine and thiophene rings. Such intermolecular C-C interactions are helpful to decrease the process of non-irradiative decay and increase AIE emission.
