Abstract

Cyclooctatetrathiophene (COTh) is a saddle-typed molecule with the interesting property of aggregation induced emission (AIE) discovered recently. In this paper, pyrene was introduced to the framework of COTh as a luminescent group. Three pyrene-COTh derivatives, mono-pyrene substituted COTh (Py-COTh), tetra-pyrene substituted COTh (4Py-COTh) and tetra(tri(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetrathiophenyl)pyrene (12TMS-4COTh-Py) were designed and synthesized. Their absorption spectra, fluorescene emission behaviors in solution, rigid state (77 K) and the aggregation state were explored. On the one hand, with increasing pyrene group to the framework of COTh, the molecular conjugation of pyrene-COTh derivatives, Py-COTh and 4Py-COTh changed slightly, but their emission intensity increased heavily with large red shift in both dilute solution and aggregation state. On the other hand, with the increase of COTh group to the framework of pyrene, the molecular conjugation of pyrene-COTh derivatives, Py-COTh and 12TMS-4COTh-Py changed significantly, and their emission intensity increased remarkably with large red shift in dilute solution. The relationship between the photophysical property and molecular structure is remarkably exhibited in our case.
