A series of fluorescent conjugated polymers, poly(pyreneethynylene)s, have been designed and synthesized to investigate the effect of shape of polymer backbone on physical properties. Polymers with linear and kinked backbone were synthesized using 1,6- and 1,8-disubstituted pyrene. The target copolymers were designed to incorporate various spacer units, such as, alkoxyphenyl, carbazole and fluorene on the polymer backbone. Characterization of the target compounds was achieved by NMR, IR, GPC and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Detailed investigation on their optical, electrochemical and thermal properties revealed significant contribution of the geometry of polymer backbone towards physical properties. Kinked backbone of cisoid-polymers was found to result in lower optical band gap, less negative EHOMO and higher thermal stability as compared to their linear analogues, most probably due to the coiling of polymer chains. Comparison of the physical properties of the polymers with those of the model compounds suggested similar extent of conjugation through 1,6- and 1,8-position of pyrene.

A new family of pyrene-containing compounds 2-4 derived from aminoquinoline-containing fluorescent probe 1 were successfully synthesized and well characterized. The investigation of the absorption and emission spectra of these compounds revealed that the photophysical properties were significantly affected by the substitution of pyrene. Moreover, these compounds exhibited selective fluorescence behaviour towards Zn2+ in aqueous solution. The gelation properties of these compounds were investigated by the "stable to inversion of a test tube" method. Interestingly, 1,8-bis-substituted compound 4 displayed stable gel-formation properties in acetone, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and dichloromethane. The morphologies of the xerogels were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). The concentration- and temperature-dependent emission properties, and concentration- and temperature-variable 1H NMR spectroscopy of compound 4 were investigated, which suggested that both π-π stacking interaction and hydrogen bonding were the driving forces for the process of self-aggregation and the gel formation. In addition, studies on the luminescence properties indicated that 4 had the ability to form a fluorescent organogel with interesting fluorescence behaviour. More importantly, it was found that compound 4 could form a stimuli-responsive gel that had a sensitive gel-to-sol transition response to heating or adding Zn2+. the Partner Organisations 2014.

A series of new platinum-acetylide complexes containing ethynyl-pyrene moieties as the main skeleton were synthesized and characterized. The investigation of the absorption and emission spectra of these complexes revealed that the extension of the molecular size with the introduction of different numbered platinum-acetylide fragments can efficiently tune the absorption and emission bands from the UV to the longer wavelength region. Moreover, the gelation properties of these complexes were investigated by the "stable-to-inversion-of-a-test-tube" method. Most newly designed platinum-acetylide compounds presented a stable gel-formation property in some of the tested solvents. The morphology of the xerogels was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, the concentration- and temperature-dependent absorption and emission properties of these complexes were investigated, which support the formation of J-type assemblies during the aggregation process. More importantly, it was found that the complexes 4 a-C6, 4 a, and 4 a-C18 with four platinum-acetylide fragments presented potential applications as luminescent organometallic gels.
