Abstract
Photoconvertible fluorophores are important for a myriad of applications in chemistry and biology. Here, we spectrally resolve and quantify individual photophysical information of a dual-emitting photoconvertible fluorophore by fluorescence spectroscopy and multivariate curve resolution-alternate least square techniques. We found that the reactant fluorophore, which shows a weak locally excited (LE) emission and a dominant intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) emission, also exhibits an intermolecular charge transfer emission. The ICT emission bands of both the reactant and product fluorophores are originated from their respective LE states. The reactant fluorophore is a mixture of its different ground state conformers. Higher yields of photoconversion of the yellow-emitting reactant fluorophore are achieved via a visible light photoreaction, leading to formation of pure white light at an intermediate photoreaction time. These findings together help us to glean new photophysical and photochemical insights into the photoreaction of a dual-emitting photoconvertible fluorophore.

Abstract
Thermally stable dual emission followed by white-light luminescence from hybrid materials is reported. Hybrid films were prepared with a spin-coating method with the mixture solution containing tetraphenylethene (TPE)-integrated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and poly[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV). TPE-tethered POSS (TPE-POSS) showed high compatibility with MEH-PPV. Therefore, homogeneous films with variable concentrations of TPE-POSS were obtained. Owing to good dispersion of rigid silica cubes into matrices, POSS-containing films demonstrated high thermal stability toward molecular rearrangement by annealing as well as pyrolysis, similar to conventional polymer hybrids. Furthermore, it was found that TPE-POSS was able to enhance emission efficiencies, probably by suppressing chain aggregation. By modulating introduction ratios of TPE-POSS, dual-emission properties followed by white-light luminescence composed of cyan and orange emissions from TPE-POSS and MEH-PPV, respectively, were accomplished. It should be noted that these color balances can be preserved even in the high-temperature region (425 K). Finally, white-light luminescent materials with thermal durability were obtained.

Abstract
White organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) are superior to traditional incandescent light bulbs and compact fluorescent lamps in terms of their merits in ensuring pure white-light emission, low-energy consumption, large-area thin-film fabrication, etc. Unfortunately, WOLEDs based on multilayered or multicomponent (red, green, and blue (RGB)) emissive layers can suffer from some remarkable disadvantages, such as intricate device fabrication and voltage-dependent emission color, etc. Single molecules, which can emit white light, can be used to replace multiple emitters, leading to a simplified fabrication process, stable and reproducible WOLEDs. Recently, the performance of WOLEDs by using single molecules is catching up with that of the state-of-the-art devices fabricated by multicomponent emitters. Therefore, an increasing attention has been paid on single white-light-emitting materials for efficient WOLEDs. In this review, different mechanisms of white-light emission from a single molecule and the performance of single-molecule-based WOLEDs are collected and expounded, hoping to light up the interesting subject on single-molecule white-light-emitting materials, which have great potential as white-light emitters for illumination and lighting applications in the world.

Abstract
Push-pull organic fluorophores are important owing to their interesting optoelectronical properties. Here we report the photophysics of a new cross-conjugated push-pull enediynyl dye which belongs to an unexplored class of π-conjugated donor-acceptor systems. Two N,N-dimethylaniline moieties serve as donors and one pyrene ring functions as an acceptor via a common Y-shaped 'enediyne' bridge which facilitates the cross-electronic communication. The dye exhibits dual emission from locally excited (LE) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states. While the LE emission is dominant in non-polar solvents, the ICT emission predominates in polar solvents. Time-resolved fluorescence decay experiments reveal a relatively shorter lifetime component (∼0.5-0.9 ns) belonging to an ICT state and a relatively longer lifetime species (∼1.6-2.8 ns) corresponding to the LE state. The strong ICT behavior of the dye is manifested through the huge red-shift (4166 cm-1) of the emission spectra from non-polar cyclohexane to polar N,N-dimethylformamide. In contrast to many small push-pull organic dyes, the LE and ICT states of the push-pull enediynyl dye follow the same excitation pathway. The dominant red-shifted ICT emission (∼550 nm) intensity of the dye in polar solvent decreases with a concomitant appearance of the blue-shifted LE emission (∼385 nm) upon prolonged exposure to photons. This opens up a new photophysical strategy of achieving high contrast two fluorescence color conversion from yellow to blue.
