We report a simple design and synthesis of a donor-acceptor tetraphenylethene-naphthalimide (TPE-NI) dyad, in which TPE acts both as an electron-donor for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and activator for aggregation induced emission (AIE). Strong solvent-dependent photoluminescence covering almost the whole visible spectrum and AIE in its nanoparticle state compared to its solution state ...

The structure of the title compound, C 30 H 42 N 4 O 2 , has orthorhombic ( Pbca ) symmetry. This compound comprises a 4-amino-1,8-naphthalimide core with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl substituent bonded to each nitrogen atom. displays N—H...O hydrogen bonding. exhibits disorder main molecule.

A porphyrin photosensitizer ZnDC( p -NI)PP containing naphthalimide energy donor chromophores and 4-carboxyphenyl substituents produces a high hydrogen evolution rate ( η H 2 ) of 35.70 mmol g −1 h , turnover number 5958, apparent quantum efficiency 10.01%.

Correction for ‘Highly efficient dual-state emission and two-photon absorption of novel naphthalimide functionalized cyanostilbene derivatives with finely tuned terminal alkoxyl groups’ by Yingyong Ni et al. , Mater. Chem. Front. 2022, 6 3522–3530, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2QM00937D.

The bi-functional complex [Pt(II)(terpy)(py-naphth)](NO3)2(), incorporating both 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and 4-N,N'-dimethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide moieties, displays a high binding affinity for DNA as well as displaying cytotoxicity towards and inducing apoptosis in malignant cell lines.

Convenient and efficient synthesis of a new environmentally sensitive chlorine-substituted 2,3-naphthalimide-based fluorophore is reported. Benzotriazole carboxyl group activation of the 6-chloro-fluorophore enabled quick labeling of free and Fmoc-protected amino acids. The photophysical properties of the compounds obtained include high quantum yields in solvents of different polarity: water, m...
