Abstract
Wood materials incorporating new properties are of great interest, especially for advanced applications such as sustainable optics and photonics. In this work we describe a wood functionalization approach, comprising the incorporation of artificial chemiluminescent systems (phenyl oxalate ester‑hydrogen peroxide-fluorophore, and luminol-ferricyanide), resulting in light-emitting wood. By a detailed characterisation of the light emission features we point out the complex interaction between wood scaffold and chemiluminescent systems, especially the quenching effect of wood extractives (for the TCPO-H2O2-fluorophore system) and lignin (for the luminol-ferricyanide system). Moreover, we take advantage of the intrinsic anisotropic porosity and capillarity of wood tissue to study the chemiluminescent front propagation. Our results may inspire the development of novel light-emitting wood materials for a variety of applications, from fundamental studies of water uptake in wood to sensors and even design elements.

Abstract
Maintaining lipid asymmetry across membrane leaflets is critical for functions like vesicular traffic and organelle homeostasis. However, a lack of molecular-level understanding of the mechanisms underlying membrane fission and fusion processes in synthetic systems precludes their development as artificial analogs. Here, we report asymmetry induction of a bilayer membrane formed by an extended π-conjugated molecule with oxyalkylene side chains bearing terminal tertiary amine moieties (BA1) in water. Autogenous protonation of the tertiary amines in the periphery of the bilayer by water induces anisotropic curvature, resulting in membrane fission to form vesicles and can be monitored using time-dependent spectroscopy and microscopy. Interestingly, upon loss of the induced asymmetry by extensive protonation using an organic acid restored bilayer membrane. The mechanism leading to the compositional asymmetry in the leaflet and curvature induction in the membrane is validated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Studies extended to control molecules having changes in hydrophilic (BA2) and hydrophobic (BA3) segments provide insight into the delicate nature of molecular scale interactions in the dynamic transformation of supramolecular structures. The synergic effect of hydrophobic interaction and the hydrated state of BA1 aggregates provide dynamicity and unusual stability. Our study unveils mechanistic insight into the dynamic transformation of bilayer membranes into vesicles.

Abstract
Skin-like field-effect transistors are key elements of bio-integrated devices for future user-interactive electronic-skin applications. Despite recent rapid developments in skin-like stretchable transistors, imparting self-healing ability while maintaining necessary electrical performance to these transistors remains a challenge. Herein, we describe a stretchable polymer transistor capable of autonomous self-healing. The active material consists of a blend of an electrically insulating supramolecular polymer with either semiconducting polymers or vapor-deposited metal nanoclusters. A key feature is to employ the same supramolecular self-healing polymer matrix for all active layers, i.e., conductor/semiconductor/dielectric layers, in the skin-like transistor. This provides adhesion and intimate contact between layers, which facilitates effective charge injection and transport under strain after self-healing. Finally, we fabricate skin-like self-healing circuits, including NAND and NOR gates and inverters, both of which are critical components of arithmetic logic units. This work greatly advances practical self-healing skin electronics.

Abstract
Most mechanochromic luminescent compounds are crystalline and highly hydrophobic; however, mechanochromic luminescent molecular assemblies comprising amphiphilic molecules have rarely been explored. This study investigated mechanochromic luminescent supramolecular fibers composed of dumbbell-shaped 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene-based amphiphiles without any tetraethylene glycol (TEG) substituents or with two TEG substituents. Both amphiphiles formed water-insoluble supramolecular fibers via linear hydrogen bond formation. Both compounds acquired water solubility when solid samples composed of supramolecular fibers are ground. Grinding induces the conversion of 1D supramolecular fibers into micellar assemblies where fluorophores can form excimers, thereby resulting in a large redshift in the fluorescence spectra. Excimer emission from the ground amphiphile without TEG chains is retained after dissolution in water. The micelles are stable in water because hydrophilic dendrons surround the hydrophobic luminophores. By contrast, when water is added to a ground amphiphile having TEG substituents, fragmented supramolecular fibers with the same molecular arrangement as the initial supramolecular fibers are observed, because fragmented fibers are thermodynamically preferable to micelles as the hydrophobic arrays of fluorophores are covered with hydrophilic TEG chains. This leads to the recovery of the initial fluorescent properties for the latter amphiphile. These supramolecular fibers can be used as practical mechanosensors to detect forces at the mesoscale.

Abstract
The molecular shuttling function of rotaxanes can be exploited to design mechanoresponsive reporter molecules. Here, we report a new approach to such rotaxane-based mechanophores, in which the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a donor-acceptor pair is mechanically controlled. A cyclic molecule containing a green-light-emitting FRET donor connected to a red-light-emitting FRET acceptor was threaded onto an axle equipped with a quencher at its center and two stoppers in the peripheral positions. In the force-free state, the green emitter is located near the quencher so that charge transfer interactions or photo-induced electron transfer between the two moieties suppress green emission and prevent the FRET from the green to the red emitter. The mechanophore was covalently incorporated into a linear polyurethane-urea (PUU), and stretchable hydrogels were prepared by swelling this polymer with water. Upon deformation of the PUU hydrogels and under an excitation light that selectively excites the donor, the intensity of the red fluorescence increases, as a result of a force-induced separation of the green emitter from the quencher, which enables the FRET. The switching contrast is much more pronounced in the gels than in dry films, which is due to increased molecular mobility and hydrophobic effects in the hydrogel, which both promote the formation of inclusion complexes between the ring containing the green emitter and the quencher.

Abstract
The UV absorbance bands of 1,4-distyrylbenzene (1,4-Bis[(E)-2-phenylethenyl]benzene, DSB) are investigated by Synchrotron Radiation Linear Dichroism (SRLD) spectroscopy using stretched polyethylene as an anisotropic solvent. The observed polarization data provide information on the transition moment directions of the observed spectral features. The investigation covers the range 15,000-58,000 cm-1 (667-172 nm), thereby providing new information on the transitions of DSB in the vacuum UV region. The observed spectrum is characterized by four main band systems centered at 27,600, 41,000, 49,800, and 57,500 cm-1 (362, 244, 201, and 174 nm). In general, the observed bands and their polarization directions are well predicted by the results of quantum chemical calculations using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) with the functional CAM-B3LYP, and with the semiempirical all-valence-electrons method LCOAO.

Abstract
Organic push-pull molecules contain donor and acceptor moieties connected via π-linkages through which intramolecular electron charge transfer (ICT) can occur in the ground and excited states; giving these molecules interesting photophysical properties. The molecules chosen in this work are some basic phenylethynylanthracene derivatives to show that with just a change of substituents this class of small molecules can show dramatic changes in their photophysical properties. The emission properties and ICT abilities of these molecules are compared with regards to various electron donating and withdrawing substituents. Substituents such as cyano and methoxycarbonyl groups do not induce any ICT character whereas substituents like aldehyde, N,N-dimethylamino and nitro groups cause appreciable ICT character in this class of molecules and their emission spectra extend almost throughout the whole visible region. The comparative ICT character was correlated with the results of electron density difference calculations. Computational studies show that the molecules are planar in their ground as well as excited states; except the nitro group containing molecule, which has an orthogonally twisted structure in the excited state. The emission properties of this molecule led to its inclusion into a class of nitroaromatics which shows maximum emission intensity in moderately polar solvents and the emission is quenched drastically by either decreasing or increasing solvent polarity. Fluorescence anisotropy studies show very good sensitivity of these compounds towards microviscosity of their immediate molecular environment. A white light emitting (WLE) gel was prepared using 4-(anthracen-9-ylethynyl)benzonitrile (AnPCN) and 4-(anthracen-9-ylethynyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline (AnPNMe2) by taking polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the gelator and the resulting gel exhibited very good CIE (0.31, 0.33) with CCT (6598 K) and CRI (87). As an example, the use of the gel was also demonstrated by applying it to a commercial UV LED which showed satisfactory results. AnPNMe2 was used to sense polar solvent vapors in TLC plates and Whatman paper due to its good solvatochromic behavior.

Abstract
Conjugated molecules with phenylethynyl building blocks are usually characterised by torsional disorder at room temperature. They are much more rigid in the electronic excited state due to conjugation. As a consequence, the electronic absorption and emission spectra do not present a mirror-image relationship. Here, we investigate how torsional disorder affects the excited state dynamics of 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene in solvents of different viscosities and in polymers, using both stationary and ultrafast electronic spectroscopies. Temperature-dependent measurements reveal inhomogeneous broadening of the absorption spectrum at room temperature. This is confirmed by ultrafast spectroscopic measurements at different excitation wavelengths. Red-edge irradiation excites planar molecules that return to the ground state without significant structural dynamics. In this case, however, re-equilibration of the torsional disorder in the ground state can be observed. Higher-energy irradiation excites torsionally disordered molecules, which then planarise, leading to important spectral dynamics. The latter is found to occur partially via viscosity-independent inertial motion, whereas it is purely diffusive in the ground state. This dissimilarity is explained in terms of the steepness of the potential along the torsional coordinate.

Three examples of 9-bromo-10-(alkylidynyl)anthracenes, [W{CC(C6H4)2CBr}(CO)2(L)] (L = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate Tp*, hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate Tp, hydrotris(2-mercapto-N-methylimidazol-1-yl)borate Tm) were prepared via modified Fischer-Mayr acyl oxide-abstraction protocols. With a sufficiently bulky ancillary ligand (L = Tp*) the aryl bromide is ammenable to cross-coupling reactions that enable more elaborate derivatives to be prepared. These including symmetric bis(alkylidynyl)anthracenes as well as non-palindromic examples bearing disparate metals and/or co-ligands. In contrast, these couplings fail for smaller ligands (L = Tp, Tm) where it was found that Pd0 or Pt0 were instead able to coordinate across two WC bonds to give trimetallic bow-tie complexes, [W2M{μ-CC(C6H4)2CBr}2(CO)4(L)2] (M = Pd, Pt; L = Tp, Tm).

Abstract
Mechanochromic mechanophores permit the design of polymers that indicate mechanical events through optical signals. Here we report rotaxane-based supramolecular mechanophores that display both reversible and irreversible fluorescence changes. These responses are triggered by different forces and are achieved by exploiting the molecular shuttling function and force-induced dethreading of rotaxanes. The new rotaxane mechanophores are composed of a ring featuring a luminophore, which is threaded onto an axle with a matching quencher and two stoppers. In the stress-free state, the luminophore is preferentially located in the proximity of the quencher, and the emission is quenched. The luminophore slides away from the quencher when a force is applied and the fluorescence is switched on. This effect is reversible, unless the force is so high that the luminophore-carrying ring slips past the stopper and dethreading occurs. We show that the combination of judiciously selected ring and stopper moieties is crucial to attain interlocked structures that display such a dual response. PU elastomers that contain such doubly responsive rotaxanes exhibit reversible fluorescence changes over multiple loading-unloading cycles due to the shuttling function, whereas permanent changes are observed upon repeated deformations to high strains due to breakage of the mechanical bond upon dethreading of the ring from the axle. This response allows one, at least conceptually, to monitor the actual deformation of polymer materials and examine mechanical damage that was inflicted in the past on the basis of an optical signal.

Abstract
We report four new luminescent tetracationic bis-triarylborane DNA and RNA sensors that show high binding affinities, in several cases even in the nanomolar range. Three of the compounds contain substituted, highly emissive and structurally flexible bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl-4-ethynyl)arene linkers (3: arene=5,5'-2,2'-bithiophene; 4: arene=1,4-benzene; 5: arene=9,10-anthracene) between the two boryl moieties and serve as efficient dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores. The shorter analogue 6 employs 9,10-anthracene as the linker and demonstrates the importance of an adequate linker length with a certain level of flexibility by exhibiting generally lower binding affinities than 3-5. Pronounced aggregation-deaggregation processes are observed in fluorimetric titration experiments with DNA for compounds 3 and 5. Molecular modelling of complexes of 5 with AT-DNA, suggest the minor groove as the dominant binding site for monomeric 5, but demonstrate that dimers of 5 can also be accommodated. Strong SERS responses for 3-5 versus a very weak response for 6, particularly the strong signals from anthracene itself observed for 5 but not for 6, demonstrate the importance of triple bonds for strong Raman activity in molecules of this compound class. The energy of the characteristic stretching vibration of the C≡C bonds is significantly dependent on the aromatic moiety between the triple bonds. The insertion of aromatic moieties between two C≡C bonds thus offers an alternative design for dual Raman and fluorescence chromophores, applicable in multiplex biological Raman imaging.

Abstract
J-dimer emission is an emergent property that occurs when pairs of ground state fluorophores associate, typically in a dilute solution medium. The resulting fluorescence is shifted with respect to the monomer. J-dimer emission, however, has never been observed in concentrated dispersions or in the solid state. We posited that multivariate (MTV) MOFs with double interwoven structures would help to isolate these dimers within their crystalline matrix. Using this strategy, J-aggregate density was controlled during crystallization by following a substitutional solid solution approach. Here, we identified the presence of J-dimers over the entire composition range for interwoven PIZOF-2/NNU-28 structures with variable amounts of a diethynyl-anthracene aggregate-forming link. We produced bulk crystals that systematically shifted their fluorescence from green to red with lifetimes (up to 13 ns) and quantum yields (up to 76%) characteristic of π–π stacked aggregates. Photophysical studies also revealed an equilibrium constant of dimerization, KD = 1.5 ± 0.3 M−1, enabling the first thermodynamic quantification of link–link interactions that occur during MOF assembly. Our findings elucidate the role that supramolecular effects play during crystallization of MTV MOFs, opening pathways for the preparation of solid-state materials with solution-like properties by design. J-dimer emission is an emergent property that occurs when pairs of ground-state fluorophores associate within multivariate MOFs producing tunable red shifted emission.![]()

Abstract
Introduction of functional groups that can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds into highly-emissive luminophores is a promising way to induce mechanochromic luminescence. Herein, we report that a 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene derivative featuring two amide groups forms green-emissive crystals based on two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded molecular sheets. Mechanical grinding changed the emission from green to yellow, owing to a transition from a crystalline to an amorphous phase. Infrared spectroscopy revealed that mechanical stimuli disrupted the linear hydrogen-bonding formation. A thermal treatment recovered the original green photoluminescence.

Abstract
Room temperature Time-Domain Terahertz (TDS) and Time-Resolved Terahertz (TRTS) spectroscopic methods are employed to measure carrier mobility and charge generation efficiency in thin-film semiconductor polymers. Interrogation of the dependence on excitation and probe polarizations yields insight into the underlying material properties that guide charge transport. We apply THz polarization anisotropy probes to analyze charge conduction in preparations of the copolymer PCDTPT, consisting of alternating cyclopenta-dithiophene (donor) and thiadiazolo-pyridine (acceptor) units. Comparisons are made among films of different ordering and morphology, including aligned films prepared by blade coating, a near isotropic dropcast film, and isotropic liquid dispersion. They are further contrasted with their population dynamics ascertained through transient absorption and the traditional photoconductive polymer poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT). Polarization anisotropy is observed as preferential charge conduction along the backbone propagation direction of PCDTPT, with various factors disproportionately influencing directional mobility and charge pair yield. PCDTPT exhibits unexpectedly strong conductivity when isolated in toluene dispersion. Quantitative comparisons yield a better understanding of polaron/free-charge relaxation and transfer mechanisms and illustrate dynamics among photoexcited charge carriers and their motion and diffusion through different material morphologies.

Abstract
Three mechanoresponsive polyurethane elastomers whose blue, green, and orange photoluminescence can be reversibly turned on by mechanical force were prepared and combined to create a blend that exhibits deformation-induced white photoluminescence. The three polyurethanes contain rotaxane-based supramolecular mechanoluminophores based on π-extended pyrene, anthracene, or 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) luminophores, respectively, and 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide as an electronically matched quencher. Each polymer shows instantly reversible, strain-dependent switching of its photoluminescence intensity when stretched and relaxed, as deformation leads to a spatial separation of the luminophore and quencher. The present study shows that the photoluminescence color can easily be tailored by variation of the luminophore and also by combining several mechanophores in one material and demonstrates that adaptability is a key advantage of supramolecular approaches to create mechanoresponsive polymers.

Abstract
The BOPHY structural scaffold provides opportunities for the synthesis of innumerable derivatives with linear geometries and well-controlled π-conjugation pathways. The simpler BOPHY chromophores are highly fluorescent but exhibit poor mirror symmetry between absorption and fluorescence spectra at ambient temperature. In particular, the absorption (and excitation) spectra are broad and appear as two overlapping bands of comparable intensity. In constrained media, such as low-temperature rigid glasses or stretched poly(ethylene) films, mirror symmetry is restored. Analysis of the temperature dependence recorded for simple BOPHY derivatives indicates that the vibronic envelope accompanying the electronic transitions can be well described in terms of low- and medium-frequency modes. Whereas the fluorescence spectral profile is only weakly dependent on temperature, the excitation spectrum is far more affected. The magnitude of the low-frequency mode, and the associated electron-phonon coupling, increase substantially with increasing temperature and is responsible for temperature broadening and distortion of the excitation spectrum in solution. This critical low-frequency vibronic mode is associated with out-of-plane torsional bending of the BOPHY unit. Variable temperature NMR studies failed to provide unequivocal evidence for conformational changes of one of the derivatives over the temperature range 193-353 K.

Abstract
Change of the permanent molecular electric dipole moment, Δμ, in a series of nominally centrosymmetric and noncentrosymmteric ferrocene-phenyleneethynylene oligomers was estimated by measuring the two-photon absorption cross-section spectra of the lower energy metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions using femtosecond nonlinear transmission method and was found to vary in the range up to 12 D, with the highest value corresponding to the most nonsymmetric system. Calculations of the Δμ performed by the TD-DFT method show quantitative agreement with the experimental values and reveal that facile rotation of the ferrocene moieties relative to the organic ligand breaks the ground-state inversion symmetry in the nominally symmetric structures.

Abstract
Complex logic gate operations using organic microwires as signal transducers based on electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) intensity as the optical readout signal have been developed by taking advantage of the unique ECL reaction between organic semiconductor 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene (BPEA) microwires and small molecules. The BPEA microwires, prepared on cleaned-ITO substrate using a simple physical vapor transport (PVT) method, were subsequently used for construction of the ECL sensors. The developed sensor exhibits high ECL efficiency and excellent stability in the presence of co-reactant tripropylamine. Based on the remarkable detection performance of BPEA MWs/TPrA system, the sensors manifested high sensitive ECL response in a wide linear range with low detection limit for the detection of dopamine, proline or methylene blue, which behaves on the basis of molecule-responsive ECL properties based on different ECL reaction mechanisms. Inspired by this, these sensing systems can be utilized to design OR, XOR and INHIBIT logic gates, which would be used for the determination of dopamine, proline and ethylene blue via logic outputs. Importantly, the individual logic gates can be easily brought together through three-input operations to function as integrated logic gates.

Abstract
Smart molecular systems having the ability to report on mechanical strain or failure in polymers via alteration of their optical properties are of great interest in materials science. However, only limited attention has been devoted to targeted chromophore engineering to fine-tune their physicochemical properties. Here, we describe the synthesis of π-extended anthracenes that can be released from their respective maleimide Diels-Alder adducts through the application of mechanical stress in solution and in the solid state. We demonstrate the improvement of fluorescence quantum yield as well as the tuning of excitation and emission wavelengths while retaining their excellent mechanochemical properties laying the foundation for a new series of mechanophores whose spectral characteristics can be modularly adjusted.

Abstract
For single-molecule fluorescence studies, highly photostable fluorophores are absolutely imperative, because photo-induced degradation (i.e., photobleaching) limits the observation time of individual molecules. Herein, the photophysics and photostability of a highly fluorescent 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene derivative (G) and its self-assembled boronic ester encapsulation complex (G@Cap) embedded in a glassy polymer matrix are investigated by single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy (SMFS). The heterogeneity of the fluorescence emission wavelength and triplet blinking kinetics of the guest G are significantly decreased by supramolecular encapsulation due to conformational restriction and reduced heterogeneity in the local environment. A nearly 10-fold increase in the photostability of G due to encapsulation is quantitatively confirmed by evaluating the photobleaching yields of G and G@Cap. In addition, it is found that the G@Cap is >30-fold more photostable than rhodamine 6G, a widely used fluorescent dye in single-molecule studies. These results demonstrate that the G@Cap can serve as a very bright, long-lasting fluorescent probe for single-molecule studies.

Abstract
The rotational motion of tolanes along their acetylene axis is not fully understood. What happens to the optical and electronic properties if the tolane backbone is forced into a twisted conformation? Several tethers were investigated to obtain tolanophanes, fixing the torsion angle of the two phenyl rings. X-ray crystal structures revealed tether-specific torsion angles in the solid state. The absorption, emission, and excitation spectra were recorded. Twisted tethered tolane conformers showed blue-shifted absorption; emission spectra were all torsionally independent and identical. The tethered tolanes were embedded in a rigid matrix by freezing to 77 K; well-resolved emission spectra were recorded for planar tolanes, but for twisted systems unexpectedly long-lived phosphorescence was observed. How is this triplet emission explained? Quantum chemical calculations (TDDFT/cam-B3LYP/6-31G*) of the unsubstituted tolane showed that intersystem crossing (ISC) is favored with large spin-orbit coupling, which occurs when the molecular orbitals are orthogonal to each other; this is the case at the crossing of S1/T7. Also, a small energy difference between singlet and triplet states is required; we found that ISC can favorably take place at four crossings: S1/T6, S1/T7, S1/T(8,9), S1/T10.

Abstract
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be launched with an organic nanowire that serves as both light source and dielectric waveguide in a single organic/metal nanowire heterojunction. Efficient modulation of the output signals from the silver tip can be achieved via the alternation of incident polarizations, which is further used to design and realize prototypical photonic-plasmonic logic devices. These findings are essential for incorporating plasmonic waveguides as practical components into hybrid high-capacity photonic circuits.
