Achieving AIE from ACQ in positional isomeric triarylmethanes
Soumya Singh, Abhineet Verma, Satyen Saha
Abstract
This report demonstrate that the usual ‘aggregation caused quenching’ (ACQ) can be overcome by a change in the substitution position in naphthalene derivatives, leading to the much desired ‘aggregation induced emission’ (AIE).
