A new strategy for achieving single-molecular white-light emission: using vibration-induced emission (VIE) plus aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanisms as a two-pronged approach.

Single-molecular white-light emissions with CIE coordinates of (0.33, 0.37) and (0.33, 0.31) were achieved with DPAC-p-TPE in viscous solution and with DPAC-Tri(o1,2) in the aggregation state through the combination of vibration-induced emission (VIE) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) mechanisms.
