Abstract

o-Carborane compounds possessing emissive π-electron systems at the C1 and B9 (and/or B12) positions exhibit dual emission, i.e., normal emission and aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Appropriate control of the emission intensity ratio for these dyes results in colour-tunable emission from blue to orange via white.
