Abstract

Abstract : The adjustment of flexible chains can realize the transformation from ACQ to AIE with the tunable packing modes, providing an alternative approach for the inhibition of unwanted π–π stacking. Abstract : Unlike normal ACQ-to-AIE conversion by the introduction of aromatic rotors accompanying the realization of a twisted conformation and a prolonged π-system, in this communication, the adjustment of the flexible chains can reach this point with the tunable packing modes while the original π-system core and related properties of the aromatic naphthalene diimide remain nearly unchanged, providing an alternative approach for the inhibition of unwanted π–π stacking.
