Abstract

Abstract 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, ...
