The liquid-crystalline (LC) and photophysical properties of molecules are very sensitive to their electronic and molecular aggregate structures. Herein, to shed light on the structure–property relationships of pentafluorinated bistolane-based photoluminescence (PL) liquid crystals (PLLCs) previously reported by our group, we synthesized pentafluorinated bistolanes with variable flexible chains and evaluated their LC and photophysical properties. The incorporation of an oxygen atom (to afford a 2-methoxyethoxy unit) or an oxygen atom and a methyl group (to afford a 1-methoxyprop-2-oxy unit) into the flexible butoxy chain significantly decreased the temperature of the crystalline-to-LC phase transition, and a chiral nematic phase comprising helical molecular aggregates was observed for the chiral 1-methoxyprop-2-oxy group–bearing bistolane. The synthesized bistolanes exhibited strong blue PL in both solution and crystalline phases; the featuring PL characteristics were maintained in the LC phase (produced by the crystalline-to-LC phase transition) except for a slight PL color change. Thus, it was concluded that the PL behavior of pentafluorinated bistolanes can be modulated by the choice of a suitable flexible chain, and the obtained insights are believed to facilitate the application of PLLCs in thermosensing PL materials.

Abstract Excellent luminescent materials are essential for high-performance fluorescent nanosensors. Here, a new-type self-calibrated humidity sensor has been established through monitoring the fluorescent color change of carbon dots (CDs) confined in sodium hydroxide (CDs@NaOH). The CDs are prepared by a facile and rapid microwave assisted heating method using citric acid, urea, and NaOH as precursors. The confinement effect from NaOH has reduced the nonradiative transition and suppressed the aggregation-induced quenching of the CDs in solid. Compared with other sensors based on CD fluorescent visualization, the sensor has good linearity and wide humidity detection range from 6.9% to 95.4%. With the increased relative humidity, the fluorescence color of the sensor change from green to blue. The proposed sensing mechanism is due to the breaking and reforming of hydrogen bonds and proton transfer occurring at the CD-NaOH matrix interfaces. This finding suggests a potential role for the spatial confinement effect and may provide an avenue for developing highly sensitive humidity readouts.
