Small, apolar aromatic groups, such as phenyl rings, are commonly included in the structures of fluorophores in order to impart hindered intramolecular rotations, leading to desirable solid-state luminescence properties. However, they are not normall... Read More about Excited-State Aromatic Interactions in the Aggregation-Induced Emission of Molecular Rotors.
