1.发展不受Kasha规则约束的可控发光材料体系。
The development of molecular structures out of the constraint of Kasha’s rule, allowing the single chromophore to produce multiple emissions, is crucial for the perfect controllability of material luminescence. We focused on the creation of new organic chromophores for the equilibrium of different excited state energy gaps. On this basis, the integration of multi-mode luminescence signals into a single chromophore can be achieved. In addition, by accurately regulating the intermolecular interactions, we can further change the luminescence intensity and ratio of the systems. These strategies avoid the emission property error caused by chromophore mixing, and provide new insights for the creation of next-generation functional materials.
发展不受Kasha规则约束的体系，让单一发色团可控地产生多波长光信号，是实现材料发光精准调控的重要途径。我们聚焦发光材料体系创新，利用平衡激发态能级差的策略开展发色团新体系设计，可在单一发色团中实现了多模式发光的信号组合。此外，通过精准调控体系分子间作用，能够进一步改变了发光强度和比率。这些策略从源头规避了发色团混制带来的发光性质误差，为新材料新功能的创制提供了新思路。
2. Novel photo- and mechano-stimuli responsive material systems.
2.新型光和力刺激响应的材料体系。
The premise of creating new intelligent dynamic materials is to reveal the new mechanism of in-situ dynamic regulation under stimuli responses. We have developed an unprecedented model with significant difference between the excited state conformation and the ground state one, and realized the molecular assembly under photoexcitation by using the intermolecular interaction of the excited state conformation. In addition, a system with rubber-rubbing responsive luminescence or luminescence color change has been developed, which reflects the unique selectivity of the stimuli response.

3.功能高分子复合材料。
Through precise non-covalent bonding between luminophore and polymers, the stimuli- response function of luminophore is used to drive the synergitic movement, assembly, phase transition, and property regulation of polymers. A series of material applications (such as dynamic tracing, probing, anti-counterfeiting and information encryption) are realized in combination with the dynamic regulation of photoluminescence signals.
