Abstract

Herein we report the self-assembly of an amino-acid substituted tetraphenylethylene (TPE) into a hydrogen-bonded dimeric capsule. Depending on the conditions applied the presented TPE derivative exhibits bluish photoluminescence with QYs up to 24% due to the AIE effect and excimer formation.
