Color-Tunable Cyano-Substituted Divinylene Arene Luminogens as Fluorescent ĻāGelators
The synthesis of three cyano-substituted
divinylene Ļ-gelators
is reported. The modulation of the color is achieved by placing the
cyano groups in appropriate position of the conjugated backbone, thus
modulating the donorāacceptor interaction. Variable-temperature
UVāvis data have been utilized to investigate the self-assembly
of the gelators <b>1</b>ā<b>3</b> that is governed
by a cooperative mechanism. A complete set of photophysical parameters
(Ī¦<sub>F</sub>,Ļ, <i>k</i><sub>r</sub> and <i>k</i><sub>nr</sub>) demonstrate the role of the molecular aggregation
in enhanced emission upon self-assembly
