A tetraphenylethylene-based dicyclophane with an o-carborane framework exhibiting dual-state emission

In this study, a tetraphenylethylene-based dicyclophane with an o-carborane framework was constructed. This material exhibits excellent dual-state emission in both solution and solid states, demonstrating solvent-dependent orange-to-blue fluorescence in solution and bright green emission as a solid. Moreover, this dicyclophane has special responses to nucleotides and C₆₀.
