Abstract

A triptycene-coumarin hybrid dye DCT-1 with a 1,4-dimethoxybenzene group as the electron donor and a coumarin fluorophore as the acceptor on the separated fins of a triptycene was synthesized. DCT-1 features a charge separated excited state with emissions sensitive to solvent polarities. Moreover, DCT-1 also exhibits aggregation-induced emission properties in water with excellent photostability and pH-stability for potential cell imaging applications.
