Journal Article
Song, X., Guo, H., Yu, S., Huang, L., Redshaw, C., Zhang, Q., Ye, R., & Feng, X. (2023). Experimental and theoretical studies of the effect of molecular conformation on the photophysical properties in the pyrene system. Dyes and pigments : an international journal, 210, Article 111036. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dyepig.2022.111036

Disordered motion is an intrinsic property of molecules. The use of controllable molecular motion can not only achieve interesting molecular geometry, but can also induce novel opto-electronic behaviour. Herein, a set of pyrene-based compounds were s...
