Three (E/Z)-diastereoisomers, based on pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline system as fluorophore and containing: 2-thienylmethyl (1), bis(2-thienylmethyl)-2-aminoethyl (3a), bis(2-thienylmethyl)-3-aminopropyl (3b) groups as substituents, were synthesized and characterized by X-ray structural analysis, PXRD, NMR, UV–Vis as well as fluorescence. These compounds are non-fluorescent in acetonitrile solution, however, they exhibit aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) upon water addition and in solid state. X-ray structural analysis revealed that molecules with 2-thienylmethyl and bis(2-thienylmethyl)-2-aminoethyl groups form dimers and π-stacks through π-π interactions between anitiparallel oriented pyrroloquinoxaline cores with interplanar distances 3.45 Å and 3.20 Å, respectively. Conformation of bis(2-thienylmethyl)-3-aminopropyl group is imposed by incorporated DMSO-d6 solvent molecule and weak intermolecular S-π and CH-π interactions, that prevents π-π interaction between fluorophore cores. The correlation between crystal structure and fluorescent properties of synthesized molecules was discussed. The DFT calculations were performed to rationalize the differences between considered systems.
