ABSTRACT
Compounds consisting of unsubstituted, monofluoro and difluoro substituted benzothiadiazole bonded to two tetraphenylethenes were successfully prepared by palladium catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of their corresponding co-monomers. All compounds exhibited aggregation-induced emission characteristics when the water fraction was higher than 60% in the THF/water mixtures. The emission maximum for the three compounds was blue-shifted when the water content reached 90% compared to that in THF solution. The intensity of emission maximum of difluorinated benzothiadiazole linked with two tetraphenylethenes was 2.5 times higher in 90% water compared to those in THF solution. Surprisingly, two liquid crystal phases with two distinct emission colors were observed only for the compound containing difluorinated benzothiadiazole bonded to two tetraphenylethene. All compounds showed remarkable solvatochromic properties in selected solvents with different polarities. The powder XRD results and mechanochromism of the compounds suggested that the solid state structures can change from one form to another by grinding, fuming or annealing processes.
