Abstract
Unconventional luminescent polymers have attracted considerable attention in the biological field due to their intrinsic fluorescence properties and excellent biocompatibility. However, exploring the luminescent properties of thiol-containing polymers and the mechanism of their scavenging of ROS remains unclear. In this work, we synthesised three kinds of hyperbranched polysiloxanes (HE, HP, and HB) with terminal thiol groups containing different chain lengths by the polycondensation reaction. Surprisingly, HP exhibits longer-wavelength emission at 480 nm with a quantum yield of 12.23% compared to HE and HB. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations have revealed that the rigidity of the conformation is enhanced by substantial hydrogen bonds and through-space O⋯O interactions in the polymer structure. These interactions, combined with the rigid carbon chains, balance the flexibility of the Si-O-C chain segments, which emerges as a critical factor contributing to the superior fluorescence performance of HP. In addition, HP exhibits excellent biocompatibility and ROS scavenging ability with a scavenging capacity of up to 35.095%. This work provides a new fluorescent polymer for scavenging ROS for the treatment of ROS-related diseases.

Abstract
A simple and effective strategy to obtain solid-state multicolor emitting materials is a particularly attractive topic. Nonconventional/nonconjugated polymers are receiving widespread attention because of their advantages of rich structural diversity, low cost, and good processability. However, it is difficult to control the molecular conformation or to obtain the crystal structure of amorphous molecules, which means it is a challenge to obtain nontraditional polymeric materials with multicolor emission. In this work, a polyurethane derivative (PUH) with red-shifted emission was synthesized by a simple one-pot polymerization reaction. By exploiting the aggregation-induced luminochromism of PUH, a series of plastic films with tunable emission from blue to orange, and white-light emission, was obtained by doping different amounts of PUH into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), thereby changing the aggregation degree of PUH. This work demonstrates the excellent promise of polyurethane derivatives for the simple fabrication of large-scale flexible luminescent films.

Abstract
Different from traditional organic luminescent materials based on covalent delocalization, clusteroluminescence from nonconjugated luminogens relies on noncovalent through-space conjugation of electrons. However, such spatial electron delocalization is usually weak, resulting in low luminescent efficiency and board emission peak due to multiple vibrational energy levels. Herein, several nonconjugated luminogens are constructed by employing biphenyl as the building unit to reveal the structure-property relationship and solve current challenges. The intramolecular through-space conjugation can be gradually strengthened by introducing building units and stabilized by rigid molecular skeleton and multiple intermolecular interactions. Surprisingly, narrowband clusteroluminescence with full width at half-maximum of 40 nm and 100% efficiency is successfully achieved via an asymmetric conformation, exhibiting comparable performance to the traditional conjugated luminogens. This work realizes highly efficient and narrowband clusteroluminescence from nonconjugated luminogens and highlights the essential role of structural conformation in manipulating the photophysical properties of unconventional luminescent materials.

Abstract
Interpenetrated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with nonaromatic ligands provide a unique platform for adsorption, catalysis, and sensing applications. However, nonemission and the lack of optical property tailoring make it challenging to fabricate smart responsive devices with nonaromatic interpenetrated MOFs based on ligand-centered emission. In this paper, the pressure-induced aggregation effect is introduced in nonaromatic interpenetrated Zn4O(ADC)4(Et3N)6 (IRMOF-0) nanocrystals (NCs), where carbonyl groups aggregation results in O─O distances smaller than the sum of the van der Waals radii (3.04 Å), triggering the photoluminescence turn-on behavior. It is noteworthy that the IRMOF-0 NCs display an ultrabroad emission tunability of 130 nm from deep blue (440 nm) to yellow (570 nm) upon release to ambient conditions at different pressures. The eventual retention of through-space n-π* interactions in different degrees via pressure treatment is primarily responsible for achieving a controllable multicolor emission behavior in initially nonemissive IRMOF-0 NCs. The fabricated multicolor phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes based on the pressure-treated IRMOF-0 NCs exhibit excellent thermal, chromaticity, and fatigue stability. The proposed strategy not only imparts new vitality to nonaromatic interpenetrated MOFs but also offers new perspectives for advancements in the field of multicolor displays and daylight illumination.

Abstract
Organic radicals with narrow energy gaps are highly sought-after for the production of near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores. However, the current repertoire of developed organic radicals is notably limited, facing challenges related to stability and low fluorescence efficiency. This study addresses these limitations by achieving stable radicals in nonconjugated poly(diphenylmethane) (PDPM). Notably, PDPM exhibits a well-balanced structural flexibility and rigidity, resulting in a robust intra-/inter-chain through-space conjugation (TSC). The stable radicals within PDPM, coupled with strong TSC, yield a remarkable full-spectrum emission spanning from blue to NIR beyond 900 nm. This extensive tunability is achieved through careful adjustments of concentration and excitation wavelength. The findings highlight the efficacy of polymerization in stabilizing radicals and introduce a novel approach for developing nonconjugated NIR emitters based on triphenylmethane subunits.

Abstract
Full-color luminophores have advanced applications in materials and engineering, but constructing color-tunable clusteroluminescence (CL) from nonconjugated polymers based on through-space interactions remains a huge challenge. Herein, we develop phosphine-capped nonconjugated polyesters exhibiting blue-to-red CL (400-700 nm) based on phosphine-initiated copolymerization of epoxides and cyclic anhydrides, especially P1-0.5TPP, which exhibits red CL (610 nm) with a high quantum yield of 32%. Experiments and theoretical calculations disclose that the phosphine-capped effect in polyesters brings about conformational changes and induces phosphine-ester clusters by through-space (n,π*) interactions. Moreover, CL colors and efficiencies can be easily tailored by types of phosphines, compositions and structures of polyesters, and concentration. Significantly, the role of polymer motions (group, segmental, and chain motions) on CL originating from microregions inside polyesters is revealed. Further, phosphine-capped nonconjugated polyesters are demonstrated to be nonconjugated dyes and fluorescent fibers and are also used for multicolor light-emitting diodes including white light. This work not only provides an engineering strategy based on the end-group effect to prepare full-color clusteroluminogens but also broadens the prospects for material applications.

Abstract
Developing nonconjugated materials with large Stokes shifts is highly desired. In this work, three kinds of hyperbranched aggregation-induced emission (AIE) polymers with tunable n/π electronic effects were synthesized. HBPSi-CBD contains alkenyl groups in the backbone and possesses a promoted n-π* transition and red-shifted emission wavelength with a large Stokes shift of 186 nm. Experiments and theoretical simulations confirmed that the planar π electrons in the backbone are responsible for the red-shifted emission due to the strong through-space n···π interactions and restricted backbone motions. Additionally, the designed HBPSi-CBD could be utilized as an ROS scavenger after coupling with l-methionine. The HBPSi-Met exhibits remarkable ROS scavenging properties with a scavenging capacity of 77%. This work not only gains further insight into the structure-property relationship of nonconjugated hyperbranched AIE polymers but also provides a promising ROS-scavenging biomaterial for the treatment of ROS-related diseases.

Abstract
Cinnamic ester is a common and abundant chemical substance, which can be extracted from natural plants. Compared with traditional esters, cinnamic ester contains α,β-unsaturated carbonyl structure with multiple reactive sites, resulting in more abundant reactivities and chemical structures. Here, a versatile polymerization-induced emission (PIE) is successfully demonstrated through Barbier polymerization of cinnamic ester. Attributed to its abundant reactivities of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl structure, Barbier polymerization of cinnamic esters with different organodihalides gives polyalcohol and polyketone via 1,2-addition and 1,4-addition, respectively, which is also confirmed by small molecular model reactions. Meanwhile, these organodihalides dependant polyalcohol and polyketone exhibit different non-traditional intrinsic luminescence (NTIL) from aggregation-induced emission (AIE) type to aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) type, where novel PIE luminogens (PIEgens) are revealed. Further potential applications in explosive detection are carried out, where it achieves TNT detection sensitivity at ppm level in solution and ng level on the test paper. This work therefore expands the structure and functionality libraries of monomer, polymer and NTIL, which might cause inspirations to different fields including polymer chemistry, NTIL, AIE and PIE.

Abstract
Nitrile compounds are abundant, stable, cheap, and readily available natural and chemical industrial sources. However, the efficient conversion of nitrile monomers to functional polymers is mostly limited due to their inert reactivity, and developing efficient polymerizations based on nitrile monomers under very mild conditions is still a big challenge. In this work, a facile and powerful base-catalyzed acetonitrile-azide click polymerization was successfully established under ambient conditions. This polymerization also enjoys the merits of short reaction time (15 min), 100% atom economy, transition-metal-free catalyst system, and regioselectivity. A series of poly(5-amino-1,2,3-triazole)s (PATAs) with high weight-average molecular weights (Mw, up to 204,000) were produced in excellent yields (up to 99%). The PATAs containing tetraphenylethene (TPE) moieties exhibit unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, which could be used to sensitively detect Fe(III) ions with a low limit of detection (1.205 × 10-7 M) and to specifically image lysosomes of living cells. Notably, PATAs could be facilely post-modified due to their containing primary amino groups in the polymer chains even through a one-pot tandem reaction. Thus, this work not only establishes a new powerful click polymerization to convert stable nitriles but also generates a series of PATAs with versatile properties for diverse applications.

Abstract
The low emission efficiency of clusteroluminogens restricts their practical applications in the fields of sensors and biological imaging. In this work, the clusteroluminescence of ordered/disordered polypeptides was observed, and the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of polypeptides can be modulated by the chirality of amino acid residues. Polyglutamates with different chiral compositions were synthesized, and the racemic polypeptides exhibited a significantly higher PL intensity than the enantiopure ones. This emission originates from the n-π* transition between C═O groups of polypeptides and is enhanced by clusterization of polypeptides. CD and Fourier transform infrared spectra demonstrated that the enantiopure and racemic polypeptides form α-helix and random coil structures, respectively. The disordered polypeptides can form more chain entanglements and interchain interactions because of their high flexibility, leading to more clusterizations and stronger PL intensity. The rigidity of ordered helical structures restrains the chain entanglements, and the formation of intrachain hydrogen bonds between amide groups of the backbone impairs the interchain interaction between polypeptides, resulting in lower PL intensity. The PL intensity of the polypeptides can also be manipulated by the addition of urea or trifluoroacetic acid. Our study not only elucidates the chirality/order-based structure-property relationship of clusteroluminescence in peptide-based polymers but also offers implications for the rational design of fluorescent peptides/proteins.

Abstract
The length and mode of conjugation directly affect the molecular electronic structure, which has been extensively studied in through-bond conjugation (TBC) systems. Corresponding research greatly promotes the development of TBC-based luminophores. However, how the length and mode of through-space conjugation (TSC), one kind of weak interaction, influence the photophysical properties of non-conjugated luminophores remains a relatively unexplored field. Here, we unveil a non-linear relationship between TSC length and emission characteristics in non-conjugated systems, in contrast to the reported proportional correlation in TBC systems. More specifically, oligo(phenylene methylene)s (OPM[4]-OPM[7]) exhibit stronger TSC and prominent blue clusteroluminescence (CL) (≈440 nm) compared to shorter counterparts (OPM[2] and OPM[3]). OPM[6] demonstrates the highest solid-state quantum yield (40 %), emphasizing the importance of balancing flexibility and rigidity. Further theoretical calculations confirmed that CL of these oligo(phenylene methylene)s was determined by stable TSC derived from the inner rigid Diphenylmethane (DPM) segments within the oligomers instead of the outer ones. This discovery challenges previous assumptions and adds a new dimension to the understanding of TSC-based luminophores in non-conjugated systems.

Abstract
Non-traditional intrinsic luminescent (NTIL) polymer is an emerging field, and its color-tunable modification is highly desirable but still rarely investigated. Here, a click chemistry approach for the color-tunable modifications of NTIL polymers by introducing clickable polymerization-induced emission luminogen (PIEgen), is demonstrated. Through Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry, a series of PIEgens is successful prepared, which is further polymerized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Interestingly, after clickable modification, these monomers are nonemissive in both solution and aggregation states; while, the corresponding polymers exhibit intriguing aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, confirming their PIEgen characteristics. By varying alkynyl substitutions, color-tunable NTIL polymers are achieved with emission wavelength varying from 448 to 498 nm, revealing a series of PIEgens and verifying the importance of modification of NTIL polymers. Further luminescence energy transfer application is carried out as well. This work therefore designs a series of clickable PIEgens and opens a new avenue for the modification of NTIL polymers via click chemistry, which may cause inspirations to the research fields including luminescent polymer, NTIL, click chemistry, AIE and modification.

Abstract
The properties of polyethylene are highly dependent on the variety and quantity of substitutions. Generally, polyethylene can only be fully substituted with fluorine atoms, mainly e. g., polytetrafluoroethylene and nafion, because atomic radius of fluorine atom is small enough. The preparation of fully substituted polyethylene analogues (FSPEA) and their non-traditional intrinsic luminescence (NTIL) are attractive, especially for substitutions with relatively larger atomic radii than a fluorine atom. Here, Barbier polymerization-induced emission (PIE) is demonstrated as a universal method for the molecular design of NTIL type FSPEAs with intriguing aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behaviors. Through Barbier polymerization of diphenyldichloromethane and different peroxyesters in the presence of Mg in one pot, a series of FSPEAs, including polytriphenylethanol (PTPE), polydiphenylfurylethanol (PDPFE), polydiphenylthiophenylethanol (PDPTE) and polydiphenylnaphthylethanol (PDPNE) have been successfully prepared. Further potential applications for explosive detection, artificial light-harvesting system and white phosphor-converted light-emitting diode are investigated. Therefore, this work opens up a new approach for the molecular design of FSPEA with non-conjugated luminescence, which may cause inspirations to different research fields like polyolefin and luminescent materials.

Abstract
Near-infrared luminophores have many advantages in advanced applications, especially for structures without π-conjugation aromatic rings. However, the fabrication of red clusteroluminogens from nonconjugated polymers is still a big challenge, let alone the near-infrared clusteroluminogens. Here, we develop nonconjugated luminophores with full-spectrum from blue to near-infrared light (470 ~ 780 nm), based on color phenomenon of nonconjugated polyesters synthesized from the amine-initiated copolymerization of epoxides and cyclic anhydrides. We reveal that amines act as initiators attached to polymer chain ends. The formation of various amine-ester complexes in polyesters induces red to near-infrared light, conceptually, amine-ester complexed clusteroluminescence via intra/inter-chain charge transfer. Significantly, emission colors can be easily tuned by the contents and types of amines, microstructures of polyesters, and their concentration. This work provides a low-cost, scalable platform and strategy for the production of high-efficiency, multicolor luminescent materials.

Abstract
Clusteroluminescence (CL) has recently gained significant attention due to its unique through-space interactions associated with a high dependence on the aggregation of subgroups. These distinct features could easily transform the stimuli into visual fluorescence and monitor the fluctuation of the environment but have not received sufficient attention before. In this work, supramolecular films are designed based on the neutralization reaction of anhydride groups and the self-assembly of dynamic covalent disulfide bonds in NaOH aqueous solution. The self-assembly of hydrophilic carboxylate chromophores and hydrophobic disulfide-containing five-membered rings could be observed by the variation of the aggregation state of carboxylate in CL. Furthermore, the dynamic cross-linking films obtained with water-sensitive carboxylate chromophores could alter the aggregation distance stimulated by surrounding water vapor, causing the emission wavelength to change from 534 to 508 nm by varying the relative humidity. This work not only provides an approach to monitor the self-assembly of clusteroluminogens but also offers new strategies for designing stimuli-responsive materials that utilize the intrinsic features of CL.

Abstract
Polypeptides, as biomacromolecules, hold immense potential in various biological applications such as tissue engineering, immunomodulating agents, and target binding. Among these applications, the attention towards luminescent polypeptides has grown significantly, due to their ability to visualize biological processes effectively. In this perspective, we have compiled information on three distinct types of luminescent polypeptides: natural fluorescent proteins, luminophores-bioconjugated polypeptides, and synthesized polypeptides with clusteroluminescence. Last, we shed light on the significance and prospects of clusteroluminescent polypeptides, which are expected to emerge as crucial new-generation bioluminophores, offering high emission efficiency and tunable emission wavelengths.

Abstract
Cellulose graft copolymers having well-defined structures could incorporate the characteristics of both the cellulose skeleton and side chains, providing a new method for the preparation functionalised cellulose derivatives. Herein, a series of multifunctional cellulose grafted, alternating 3,4-dihydrocoumarin (DHC) and epoxide (EPO) copolymers (cell-g-P(DHC-alt-EPO)) were prepared in a metal-free DBU/DMSO/CO2 solvent system without adding additional catalyst. Four examples of cell-g-P(DHC-alt-EPO) with tunable thermal and optical properties were synthesized by copolymerization of DHC with styrene oxide (SO), propylene oxide (PO), cyclohexene oxide (CHO) or furfuryl glycidyl ether (FGE) onto cellulose. The nonconjugated cell-g-P(DHC-alt-EPO) showed UV absorption properties with the maximum absorption peak at 282 nm and 295 nm and photoluminescence performance. A clustering-triggered emission mechanism was confirmed and consistent with DFT theoretical calculations. In DMSO solution, the copolymer (DHCSO5) with DP of 11.64 showed ACQ behaviour as the concentration increased. In addition, DHCSO5 had good antioxidant capacity with an instantaneous radical scavenging activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine (DPPH) up to 65 % at a concentration of 40 mg/ ml and increased to 100 % after 30 min. Thus, the multifunctional cell-g-P(DHC-alt-EPO) materials had a variety of potential applications in the fields of fluorescent printing, bio-imaging, UV- shielding and antioxidants.

Abstract
Non-traditional fluorescent polymers have attracted significant attention for their excellent biocompatibility and diverse applications. However, designing and preparing non-traditional fluorescent polymers that simultaneously possess long emission wavelengths and long fluorescence lifetime remains challenging. In this study, a series of novel hyperbranched polyborosiloxanes (P1-P4) were synthesized. As the electron density increases on the monomer diol, the optimal emission wavelengths of the P1-P4 polymers gradually red-shift to 510, 570, 575, and 640 nm, respectively. In particular, P4 not only exhibits red emission but also demonstrates delayed fluorescence with a lifetime of 9.73 μs and the lowest critical cluster concentration (1.76 mg/mL). The experimental results and theoretical calculations revealed that the synergistic effect of dual heteroatom-induced electron delocalization and through-space O⋅⋅⋅O and O⋅⋅⋅N interaction was the key factor contributing to the red-light emission with delayed fluorescence. Additionally, these polymers showed excellent potential in dual-information encryption. This study provides a universal design strategy for the development of unconventional fluorescent polymers with both delayed fluorescence and long-wavelength emission.

Abstract
The aggregate luminescence behaviors of polymeric luminescent materials have been attracting great attention. However, the importance of the polymerization process on luminescence, namely, polymerization-induced emission (PIE), has rarely been overviewed. In this review, recent advances in polymerization with PIE effects are summarized, including PIE with aromatic rings based on one-/two-/multi-component polymerizations, and PIE without aromatic rings according to disparate mechanisms of polymerizations. Typical examples are selected to elaborate the basic design principles, as well as the properties and potential applications of the luminous polymers. Moreover, the challenges and perspectives in this area are also discussed.

Abstract
The odd-even effect is a fantastic phenomenon in nature, which has been applied in diverse fields such as organic self-assembled monolayers and liquid crystals. Currently, the origin of each odd-even effect remains elusive, and all of the reported odd-even effects are related to the ground-state properties. Here, we discover an excited-state odd-even effect in the through-space interaction (TSI) of nonconjugated tetraphenylalkanes (TPAs). The TPAs with an even number of alkyl carbon atoms (C2-TPA, C4-TPA, and C6-TPA) show strong TSI, long-wavelength emission, and high QY. However, the odd ones (C1-TPA, C3-TPA, C5-TPA, and C7-TPA) are almost nonexistent with negligible QY. Systematically experimental and theoretical results reveal that the excited-state odd-even effect is synthetically determined by three factors: alkyl geometry, molecular movability, and intermolecular packing. Moreover, these flexible luminescent TPAs possess tremendous advantages in fluorescent information encryptions. This work extends the odd-even effect to photophysics, demonstrating its substantial importance and universality in nature.

Abstract
Biocompatible polymers with nontraditional intrinsic luminescence (NTIL) possess the advantages of environmental friendliness and facile structural regulation. To regulate the emission wavelength of polymers with NTIL, the alkane chain lengths of hyperbranched polysiloxane (HBPSi) are adjusted. Optical investigation shows that the emission wavelength of HBPSi is closely related to the alkane chain lengths; namely, short alkane chains will generate relatively long-wavelength emission. Electronic communication among functional groups is responsible for the emission. In a concentrated solution, HBPSi molecules aggregate together due to the strong hydrogen bond and amphiphilicity, and the functional groups in the aggregate are so close that their electron clouds are overlapped and generate spatial electronic delocalizations. HBPSi with shorter alkane chains will generate larger electronic delocalizations and emit longer-wavelength emissions. Moreover, these polymers show excellent applications in the fabrication of fluorescent films and chemical sensing. This work could provide a strategy for regulating the emission wavelengths of unconventional fluorescent polymers.

Abstract
Exploring approaches to utilize abundant water to synthesize functional molecules and polymers with efficient clusteroluminescence properties is highly significant but has yet to be reported. Herein, a chemistry of water and alkyne is developed. The synthesized products are proven as nonaromatic clusteroluminogens that could emit visible light. Their emission colors and luminescent efficiency could be adjusted by manipulating through-space interaction using different starting materials. Besides, the free-standing polymeric films with much high photoluminescence quantum yields (up to 45.7%) are in situ generated via a water-involved interfacial polymerization. The interfacial polymerization-enhanced emission of the polymeric films is observed, where the emission red-shifts and efficiency increases when the polymerization time is prolonged. The synthesized polymeric film is also verified as a Janus film. It exhibits a vapor-triggered reversible mechanical response which could be applied as a smart actuator. Thus, this work develops a method to synthesize clusteroluminogens using water, builds a clear structure-property relationship of clusteroluminogens, and provides a strategy to in situ construct functional water-based polymeric films.

Abstract
In this study, three kinds of anhydrides with different structures were introduced into agar molecules to study the effects of varying degrees of substitution (DS) and anhydride structures on the physicochemical properties and curcumin (CUR) loading capacity. Increasing the carbon chain length and saturation of the anhydride affects the hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding of the esterified agar, thereby changing the stable structure of the agar. Although the gel performance declined, the hydrophilic carboxyl group and the loose porous structure provide more binding sites for the adsorption of water molecules, hence providing excellent water retention (1700 %). Next, CUR was used as a hydrophobic active ingredient to study agar microspheres' drug encapsulation and in vitro release ability. Results showed that the excellent swelling and hydrophobic structure of esterified agar could promote the encapsulation of CUR (70.3 %). The release process is controlled by pH, and the release of CUR under weak alkaline conditions is significant, which can be explained by the pore structure, swelling characteristics, and carboxyl binding of agar. Therefore, this study shows the application potential of hydrogel microspheres in loading hydrophobic active ingredients and sustained release and provides the possibility for the application of agar in drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Clusteroluminescence (CL) has drawn much attention in recent years. However, the design of red emission clusteroluminogens (CLgens) with tunable CL is still in its infancy. Herein, we report a simple heating process to prepare red emission poly(maleic anhydride-alt-vinyl acetate) (PMV) derivatives with a tunable maximum emission wavelength between 620 and 675 nm. First, heating above the glass transition temperature (Tg) would promote the movement of polymer chains and facilitate the formation of clusters in both solid and solution states. Then, heating beyond the decomposition temperature at which vinyl acetate converts into C═C is favorable to the formation of new clusters and large through-space conjugation among subgroups in polymer chains. Their synergistic effects realize the adjustable emission wavelength and higher quantum yield of polymers. Additionally, low-cost and eco-friendly core-shell PMV particles are prepared as agricultural light conversion agents and exhibit great compatibility with polyethylene.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) polymers with expected emission wavelength/color and fluorescence efficiency are valuable in applications. However, most AIE polymers exhibit irregular emission wavelength/color changes compared to the original AIE monomers. Here, we report the synthesis of AIE polymers with unchanged emission wavelength by ring-opening (co)polymerizations of 4-(triphenylethenyl)phenoxymethyloxirane (TPEO) and other epoxides or phthalic anhydride. The chemical structures/physical properties of all (co)polymers were characterized by NMR, SEC, MALDI-TOF, and DSC. The co-polyether microstructures were revealed by calculating the reactivity ratios and visualized by Monte Carlo simulation. The photoluminescence quantum yields of all the (co)polymers were determined in the solid state. We systematically correlated the fluorescence performance with molecular weights, crystallinity, monomer compositions, glass transition temperatures, side lengths, and flexibility/rigidity.

Abstract
Nonconventional luminescent macromolecules exhibiting bright fluorescence or phosphorescence emission at high concentrations and solid-state have attracted significant attention due to their promising application in different fields. However, most reported nonconventional luminescent macromolecules show weak or no emission in dilute solutions, limiting their large-scale applications. Herein, nonconventional luminescent biomacromolecules with hydrophobic rigid chains, hydrophilic flexibility and inter- or intra-molecular hydrogen bonding interactions were proposed to achieve effective luminescence in dilute solutions. Poly-L-aspartic acid (PASA) with a fluorescence quantum yield of 4.6 % in a dilute solution (0.8 mg/mL) was synthesized to validate this design strategy. The fluorescence intensity of PASA solution increased with the increase of the concentration, demonstrating a clustering-triggered emission (CTE) effect. Furthermore, the fluorescence intensity significantly enhanced when adding Al3+ into PASA aqueous solution via the Al3+ recognition effect. The detection limits for Al3+ (1.71 × 10-6 mol/L) meet the World Health Organization (WHO) requirements for food detection. At last, PASA solid-state samples exhibit room temperature phosphorescence emission.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive opposite emission (A)/absorption (B) polymer material (A∪B = Ω and A∩B = Ø) represents a novel polymer material that is difficult to prepare. Here, we demonstrate a one-pot strategy for the molecular design of stimuli-responsive opposite emission/absorption polymer material with intriguing properties of opposite emission/absorption and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) type nontraditional intrinsic luminescence (NTIL) in the visible region, through reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization-induced emission (PIE) of the N,N-dimethyl-triphenylmethanol moiety. Investigations reveal that NTIL is due to the through-space conjugation effect caused by polymer chain entanglement, when increasing the repeating unit number. The corresponding stimuli-responsive opposite emission/absorption properties are derived from the carbocation-quinoid mechanism, which enables the fluorescence encryption capability. This work therefore demonstrates the proof of concept of a novel opposite emission/absorption polymer material that might cause inspiration in different fields.

Abstract
Enabling dynamically tunable emissive systems offers opportunities for constructing smart materials. Clusteroluminescence, as unconventional luminescence, has attracted increasing attention in both fundamental and applied sciences. Herein, we report a supramolecular poly(disulfides) network with tunable clusteroluminescence. The reticular H-bonds synergize the rigidity and mobility of dynamic networks, and endow the resulting materials with mechanical adaptivity and robustness, simultaneously enabling efficient clusteroluminescence and phosphorescence at 77 K. Orthogonally tunable luminescence are achieved in two manners, i.e., slow backbone disulfide exchange and fast side-chain metal coordination. Further exploration of the reprocessability and chemical closed-loop recycling of intrinsic dynamic networks for sustainable materials is feasible. We foresee that the synergistic strategy of dynamic chemistry offers a novel pathway and potential opportunities for smart emissive materials.

Abstract
Designing and screening highly efficient and cost-effective luminophores have always been a challenge to develop sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensors. Herein, polyethyleneimine nanoparticles (PEI NPs), a kind of nonconjugated polymer (NCP) NPs with tertiary amine clusters, were developed as an ECL luminophore. Specifically, PEI NPs were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method using PEI and formaldehyde. The properties of PEI NPs were investigated in detail using photochemical and electrochemical techniques. The results showed cluster-dominated luminescence of tertiary amines in PEI NPs via "through-space conjugation". This non-negligible ECL performance (at 631 nm) was also verified by the initiated reduction-oxidation process. With persulfate as a coreactant, PEI NPs acted as both the luminophore and coreaction accelerator to enhance the ECL intensity remarkably, which was eightfold higher than that of isolated PEI. Moreover, choosing dopamine as the model target, a highly sensitive "signal off" ternary ECL sensor was constructed utilizing PEI NPs as the luminophore. Dopamine could be oxidized to benzoquinone at the sensing interface, quenching the signal via ECL energy transfer. Free from any signal amplification, the proposed sensor achieved a low detection limit (4.3 nM) for target monitoring with good selectivity and stability. This strategy not only provides a unique perspective for designing novel efficient and facile ECL luminophores of tertiary amines but also broadens the biological application of NCP NPs.

Abstract
Unconventional fluorescent polymers possess the advantages of excellent biocompatibility, environmental friendliness, and facile structural regulation; however, such polymers usually have low fluorescence intensity and quantum yields in the long-wavelength range. In this work, three kinds of high-efficiency long-wavelength emissive hyperbranched polysiloxanes are obtained by introducing aromatic amino acids. These functionalized hyperbranched polysiloxanes have high fluorescence intensity and quantum yields in green, yellow, and red emission regions. Experimental results and density functional theory calculations reveal that the long-wavelength emission comes from the enhanced electronic communication among the conjugated π bonds, electron-rich atoms, and -Si(O)3 and other functional groups. Especially, the conjugated π bonds efficiently enlarge the spatial electronic delocalizations, resulting in the high-efficiency long-wavelength emission. Moreover, the prepared polymers show excellent applications in information encryption and film preparation. This work could serve as a guide to develop high-efficiency long-wavelength unconventional fluorescent polymers.

Abstract
Non-conjugated fluorescent polymers have attracted great attention due to their excellent biocompatibility and environmental friendliness. However, it remains a huge challenge to obtain a polymer with high fluorescence quantum yield (QY) and multicolor emission simultaneously. Herein, we reported three kinds of nonaromatic hyperbranched polyborates (P1-P3) with multicolor emission, surprisingly, P2 also exhibits an unanticipated high QY (54.1 %). The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results revealed that the synergistic effect of rigid BO3 planar and flexible carbon chain, as well as the through-space dative bond in supramolecular aggregate, were the key factors contributing to the ultrahigh QY of P2. Moreover, the applications of P2 in Fe3+ ions detection and cell imaging were also investigated. This work provides a new perspective for designing non-conjugated fluorescent polymers with both high QY and multicolor emission.

Abstract
Single-molecule white-light emission (SMWLE) has many advantages in practical applications; however, the fabrication of SMWLE from nonconjugated luminescent polymers, namely, clusteroluminogens (CLgens), is still a big challenge. Herein, the first example of linear nonconjugated polyesters with SMWLE is reported. Twenty-four kinds of nonconjugated aliphatic polyesters with tunable clusteroluminescence (CL) colors and efficiency were synthesized by the copolymerization of six epoxides and four anhydrides. Experimental and calculation results prove that, at the primary structure level, the balance of structural flexibility and rigidity via adjusting the side-chain length significantly enhances the efficiency of CL without wavelength change. However, altering the chemical structures of the monomer from succinic anhydride to trans-maleic anhydride (MA), cis-MA, and citraconic anhydride (CA), secondary structures of these polyesters change from helix to straight and folding sheet accompanied by gradually red-shifted CL from 460 to 570 nm due to the increase in through-space n-π* interactions, as demonstrated by the computational and experimental results. Then, pure SMWLE with CIE coordination (0.30, 0.32) based on overlapped short-wavelength and long-wavelength CL is achieved in CA-based polyesters. This work not only provides further insights into the emission mechanism of CL but also provides a new strategy to manipulate the properties of CL by regulating the hierarchical structures of CLgens.
