Stimuli-responsive Enaminitrile Molecular Switches as Tunable AIEgens Covering the Chromaticity Space and Acting as Vapor Sensors
A family of responsive enaminitrile molecular switches showing tunable turn-on fluorescence upon switching and aggregation is reported. When activated by the addition of acid/base, isomerization around the C=C bond could be effectuated, resulting in complete and reversible switching to the E- or Z-isomers. Typical aggr...
