A donor–acceptor molecule, PICNDSB, with cyclopenta[b]indole as the donor and (1,4-phenylene)bis(3-phenylacrylonitrile) as the acceptor, is designed and synthesized. PICNDSB shows typical aggregation-induced emission characteristics. The photoluminescence quantum yield of PICNDSB in dilute THF was only 0.7% and reaches 51.4% in the solid state. Compared with its analogue CzCNDSB, PICNDSB possesses stronger intramolecular charge transfer properties, as revealed from CV measurements, theoretical calculations, and their fluorescence behaviors. Correspondingly, the relatively more efficient electron-donating terminal group of cyclopenta[b]indole endows the molecule with a much higher two-photon absorption cross section of 1286 GM compared to CzCNDSB (357 GM).

Two simple small molecules based on diphenylamine (T1) and carbazole (T2) have been synthesized and characterized. Both dyes exhibit extraordinary aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties and high corresponding quantum efficiencies of 11.5% and 16.0%. The value of the two-photon absorption cross-section for T1 is 1240 GM.

Non-substituted and alkyl-substituted triphenylamine–dibenzo[a,c]phenazine adducts (Q1–Q3) showed the combined features of ICT plus AEE, while the alkoxy-substituted Q4–Q5 exhibited obvious AIE effects.

Solvents play an important role in shaping the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties of π-conjugated molecules, which in turn can affect their one-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) as well as the static (hyper)polarizabilities. Here, we study the effect of solvent and donor-acceptor arrangement on linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) response properties of two novel ICT-based fluorescent sensors, one consisting of hemicyanine and dimethylaniline as electron withdrawing and donating groups (molecule 1), respectively and its boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY, molecule 2)-fused counterpart (molecule 3). Density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations using long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP and M06-2X functionals, suitable for studying properties of ICT molecules, are employed to calculate the desired properties. The dipole moment (µ) as well as the total first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>total</sub>) of the studied molecules in the gas phase is dominantly dictated by the component in the direction of charge transfer. The ratios of vector component of first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>vec</sub>) to β<sub>total</sub> also reveal unidirectional charge transfer process. The properties of the medium significantly affect the OPA, hyperpolarizability and TPA properties of the studied molecules. Time dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations suggest interchanging between two lowest excited states of molecule 3 from the gas phase to salvation. The direction of charge polarization and dominant transitions among molecular orbitals involved in the OPA and TPA processes are studied. The results presented are expected to be useful in tuning the NLO response of many ICT-based chromophores, especially those with BODIPY acceptors.<br>
