A series of eight derivatives based on tetraphenylethylene were prepared, and two of these, i.e., 1,1-bis(4-phenylcarbonyl)-2,2-diphenylethylene (2), 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-phenylcarbonyl)phenylethylene (4), were characterized crystallographically. Because the rigidity and steric hindrance in the molecular structure enhanced regularly from sample 5 to 8, UV-visible absorption and PL spectra of 5-8 show the transition from aggregationinduced emission (AIE) to aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) behavior. Solid fluorescence lifetime characterization shows that samples with less steric hindrance and more interaction in or between molecules will result in a short fluorescence lifetime. All samples 5-8 become more emissive when their chains are induced to aggregate by adding water into their acetonitrile solutions. Cyclic voltammetry measurements taken give the band gap of sample 5-8 as 2.88, 2.70, 2.56, and 2.43 eV, and theoretical calculations also support these bad gap results. Conformational simulations also suggest that the origin of transition from AIE to AIEE behavior is due to the restricted intramolecular rotations of the aromatic rings in samples.
