Porous Organic Polymer from Aggregation-Induced Emission Macrocycle for White-Light Emission

A tetraphenylethylene-based oxacalixarene macrocycle (TOM) with high fluorescence quantum yield (70%) was used as monomer to construct a fluorescent macrocycle-based porous organic polymer (pTOM). With high surface area, specific pore size, and emissive properties, the blue-greenish fluorescent pTOM can be developed into white-light-emission materials by adsorbing guests of tris­(bipyridine)ruthenium with complementary emission color by the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect.
