Although a set of functional molecules with the D-π-A structure has been explored as optical
probes for the detection of target analytes, it remains a great challenge to elaborately design …

Electron deficient compounds are extensively studied in the field of molecular materials.
Compared to the simplest electron acceptors, multi-cyano heterocyclics performed excellent …

A simple, portable and highly sensitive naked-eye test strip is successfully prepared for
optical detection of gaseous and aqueous alkaline analytes. Novel pH-sensory tricyanofuran …

We introduce a new sensing polymer system for detection of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) based on the optical response of polystyrene (PS) films doped with julolidine …

To further explore the potential application of the indolizine donor group in nonlinear optical
(NLO) chromophores, we have designed and synthesized new push-pull chromophores …

Abstract N-aryl-2-aminoquinolines have been widely synthesised and used in biological
applications. However, their luminescence properties have not been studied in detail …

Abstract Six asymmetric tetraphenyl-1, 3-butadiene derivatives were firstly designed and
synthesized. Their photophysical properties showed the six derivatives having aggregation …

A series of simple D–π–A compounds (D-donor, A-acceptor) were synthesized by a
Knoevenagel condensation reaction. A study of the optical, electrochemical and thermal …

Two D–π–A–π–D type solvatochromic fluorescence probes (JT1 and JT2) based on
triphenylamine have been synthesized. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of …
