AIE-Active BODIHYs Based on Benzothiazole-Hydrazone Chelates and Their Artificial Light Harvesting and Reversible Mechanochromic Behavior.

ABSTRACT: Efficient artificial light-harvesting systems (ALH) involving energy transfer via FRET in an aqueous environment has been reported. Hydrazone ligands L1-L3 and -BF₂ complexes (BODIHYs; B1-B3) derived from these have been synthesized and meticulously characterized by various techniques like¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹B, ¹⁹F NMR, ESI-MS, UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and structures of B1 and B2 unequivocally determined by X-ray single crystal analyses. Applicability of the B1-B3 have been examined as a LHS platform and categorically shown that these in combination with rhodamine B (RhB) display efficient light harvesting activity under aqueous conditions via aggregation-induced emission (AIE).
