SYNOPSIS |
In 2001, Ben Zhong Tang’s group discovered an abnormal phenomenon: some fluorophores exhibit dramatically enhanced emission in the solid state, which was termed as aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation enhanced emission (AEE). This phenomenon offered a new path to the solution of the spiny problem of aggregation caused quenching. All the AIE and AEE systems pose a challenge to our current understanding, and spawn new photophysical theories and spur technological innovations. Since then, AIE materials have been found promising as emitters for the fabrication of highly efficient electroluminescent devices and stimuli-responsive materials for use in multifunctional switches. In this talk, the design strategy to construction some blue AIE fluorophores and sensing systems will be presented, to partially demonstrate the art of conjugation and rotation. | |

BIOGRAPHY
|
Zhen Li received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Wuhan University (WHU) in China in 1997 and 2002, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Jingui Qin. In 2003-2004, he worked in the Hongkong University of Science and Technology as Research Associate in the group of Prof. Ben Zhong Tang. In 2010, he worked in Georgia Institute of Technology in the group of Prof. Seth Marder. He is a full professor at WHU from 2006, and his research interests are in the development of organic molecules and polymers with new structure and new functions for organic electronics and photonics. He has published more than 100 papers, with an H-index of 39. Awards: Chinese Chemical Society Prize for Young Scientists (2007); “Asian Rising Star” of 15th Asian Chemical Congress (2013). | |
