Photo-Switchable Aggregation-Induced Emission of Bisthienylethene-Dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole Triad
A bisthienylethene-dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole (BTE-2PBT) triad has been designed and synthesized based on our recent discovery of PBTs as atypical propeller-shaped novel simply delightful fat quarter bundle AIEgens.The triad not only maintains the photochromic properties of BTE moiety in solution, film, and solid state but also exhibits ep
