Abstract

A series of nonplanar tetraphenylethene (TPE)–bis(indolyl)methane (BIM) conjugates were designed and prepared and characterized by standard spectroscopic techniques. The properties of TPE-BIM derivatives were investigated by UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. All of the TPE-BIM showed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features. However, DFT calculations confirmed the nonplanar structures or propeller structures.
