Tetraphenylethylene or Naphthalimide-Functionalized Dendritic Carbazole AIEgens: Self-Assembly Visualization, Three Disparate Force-Triggered Fluorescence Responses, and Advanced Anticounterfeiting Applications

Three 1,8-naphthalimide-modified donor-π-acceptor type and three tetraphenylethylene-functionalized fluorogenic dendritic carbazole derivatives are designed and synthesized. These six dendrimer-like carbazole-containing compounds are typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens. Specially, the AIE-active 3CzB2Nap...
