Environment-sensitive behavior of fluorescent molecular rotors

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Molecular rotors are a group of fluorescent molecules that form twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) states upon photoexcitation. When intramolecular twisting occurs, the molecular rotor returns to the ground state either by emission of a red-shifted emi...
