Synthesis and Characterization of Tetraphenylethene AIEgen-Based Push–Pull Chromophores for Photothermal Applications: Could the Cycloaddition–Retroelectrocyclization Click Reaction Make Any Molecule Photothermally Active?

Three new tetraphenylethene (TPE) push–pull chromophores exhibiting strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) are described. They were obtained via [2 + 2] cycloaddition–retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) click reactions on an electron-rich alkyne-tetrafunctionalized TPE (TPE-alkyne) using both 1,1,2...
