Crystallization-induced red emission of a facilely synthesized biodegradable indigo derivative

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Feb 25;51(16):3375-8. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09540e.

Abstract

We report a new class of crystallization-induced red-emitting luminogen based on a synthetic biodegradable indigo derivative, Indigoid-B. This compound, upon an ultrasonic treatment, formed well-defined microcrystals that showed striking crystallization-induced emission (CIE) in mixed solvents of tetrahydrofuran-water.
