A new series of acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type quinoacridine derivatives (1-3) with aggregation-induced red emission properties were designed and synthesized. In these compounds, the electron-withdrawing 2-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetonitrile groups act as electron-accepting units, while the alkyl-substituted conjugated core acts as electron-donating units. The restriction of intramolecular rotation was responsible for the AIE behavior of compounds 1-3. All compounds were employed as building blocks to fabricate one-dimensional (1-D) organic luminescent nano- or microwires based on reprecipitation or slow evaporation approaches. Morphological transition from zero-dimensional (0-D) hollow nanospheres to 1-D nanotubes has been observed by recording SEM and TEM images of aggregated sates of compound 2 in THF/H 2O mixtures at different aging time. It was demonstrated that the synthesized compounds with different lengths of alkyl chains displayed different wire formation properties. The single-crystal X-ray analysis of compound 2 provided reasonable explanation for the formation of 1-D nano- or microstructures.
