Rhodamine-naphthalimide demonstrated a distinct aggregation-induced emission mechanism: elimination of dark-states <i>via</i> dimer interactions (EDDI)

Abstract

Rhodamine B-naphthalimide (<bold>RhB-Naph</bold>) demonstrated a distinct aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanism, different from the restriction of intramolecular rotations or vibrations as in traditional AIE molecules.
