Abstract

Bright white-light emission was obtained from a novel pyridinium molecule by aggregation. Photophysical, single-crystal structural, and computational studies demonstrated that an additional low-energy emission was generated by the excitation of a new intermolecular charge-transfer (CT) band at the ground state that cooperates with the non-quenched high-energy monomer emission to produce white light.
