Luminogenic materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have attracted
much interest since the debut of the AIE concept in 2001. In this critical review, recent …

Azopolymers comprise a unique materials platform, in which the photoisomerization reaction
of azobenzene molecules can induce substantial material motions at molecular …

It is textbook knowledge that chromophore aggregation generally quenches light emission.
In this feature article, we give an account on how we observed an opposite phenomenon …

Although a lot of mitochondria-targeting biothiol probes have been developed and applied
to cellular imaging through thiol-induced disulfide cleavage or Michael addition reactions …

Large-scale utilization of solar-energy resources will require considerable advances in
energy-storage technologies to meet ever-increasing global energy demands. Other than …

General formalism of absorption and emission spectra, and of radiative and nonradiative
decay rates are derived using a thermal vibration correlation function formalism for the …

It is a highly desirable but difficult task to predict the molecular fluorescence quantum
efficiency from first principles. The molecule in the excited state can undergo spontaneous …

Light-operated materials have gained significant attention for their potential technological
importance. To achieve molecular motion within extended networks, stimuli-responsive units …

Organic fluorescent materials have been an integral part of recently emerged optoelectronic
device technologies owing to their good photophysical properties such as high quantum …

Photoluminescence of simple arylbenzenes with ready synthetic accessibility is enhanced
by two orders of magnitude through aggregate formation; viscosity and temperature effects …
