• photophysically and computationally. The photophysical studies revealed that all the synthesized compounds exhibited fluorescence in organic solvents, while N-methyl-4-((pyridin-2-yl)amino)-substituted maleimide derivatives 4a–e, which are based on an acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) system, exhibited aggregation

• the electronic nature of the compounds with and without AIEE properties. Keywords: acceptor–donor–acceptor; AIEE; low molecular weight; one-pot reaction; ((pyridin-2-yl)amino)maleimide; TD-DFT calculation; Introduction Fluorescent compounds have attracted considerable attention as functional

• aminopyridines based on the acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) system exhibit AIEE properties in aqueous media, which may be novel candidate molecules for AIEE. Herein, we report the synthesis, photophysical properties, and computational studies of pyrido[1,2-a]pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and N-methyl-4-((pyridin-2

• OLEDs could be obtained with easy modulation of the electroluminescent properties. Recently, the first examples of versatile exciplex-forming materials which can form two different types of exciplexes, donor–acceptor/donor and acceptor/donor–acceptor, were reported for simplified non-doped white OLEDs

• reaction exists in solution as a solvent-separated ion pair with a copper cation. A character of spin-density distribution in a radical anion species leads to the conclusion that the ligand corresponds to type III of the Robin–Day classification. Keywords: acceptor–donor–acceptor triad; bridging ligand

• ; EPR spectroscopy; extended tetrathiafulvalene; protonated semiquinone; Introduction The main idea that led to the creation of the system constructed of two o-quinone terminal moieties bridged with annulated extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) insertion, was an attempt to explore acceptor–donor–acceptor

• acceptor–donor–acceptor electronic structures, an electron-donating TTA unit was coupled with electron-accepting diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based chromophoric units, which are well-known building blocks used in OSCs [28][29][30][31]. Such molecular structures facilitate intramolecular charge transfer

• to introduce a TTA unit as central electron-donating core into star-shaped and linear π-conjugated oligomers was demonstrated. Multiple electron-accepting DPP arms were attached to the electron-donating TTA core to form star-shaped TTA-DPP4 and linear TTA-DPP2 that have acceptor–donor–acceptor

• with the opposite effect. Due to these observations, a carbenoid intermediate can be divided in three different classes based on the electronic nature of the chemical groups attached to its structure: acceptor, donor/acceptor and acceptor/acceptor (Figure 2) [2].
