Crystallization-induced light-emission enhancement of diphenylmethane derivatives

resumo

A family of diphenylmethane derivatives has been synthesized and their luminescence properties characterized. While in solution the compounds are weakly emissive, showing no aggregation-induced emission enhancement, the crystals of three dialkyl 5,5'-methylenebis(2-hydroxybenzoate) samples exhibit intense emission. This emission enhancement upon crystallization is ascribed to particular molecular packing, which stiffens the structure of the compounds via hydrogen bonds, preventing consecutive pi-pi interactions.
