The present invention provides use of penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines in preparation of thermo-sensitive fluorescent materials. Said penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidine compounds have linear temperature dependence of red-edge excitation wavelength (LTDREEW). When different excitation wavelengths are chosen, such compounds present fluorescence color and/or fluorescence on-off switch in different temperature ranges. Also their fluorescence intensity ratios or fluorescence intensities exhibit good linear relation or power function relation to temperature, which can be used as the thermo-sensitive fluorescent materials with high sensitivity and wide temperature range (0-450 K).

Use of penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines in preparation of thermo-sensitive fluorescent materials

The present invention provides a series of penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics and preparation method and use thereof. The AIE penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines have structures shown as formula (I). Ris selected from a group consisting of linear or branched alkyls and substituted alkyls. Rand Ris respectively selected from a group consisting of linear or branched alkyls, substituted alkyls, cycloalkyls, substituted cycloalkyls, aryls, substituted aryls, polycyclic aryls, substituted polycyclic aryls, heterocyclyls, substituted heterocyclyls, aromatic heterocyclyls and substituted aromatic heterocyclyls. Ris selected from a group consisting of aryls, substituted aryls, polycyclic aryls, substituted polycyclic aryls, aromatic heterocyclyls and substituted aromatic heterocyclyls. The penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines can be prepared by multi-component reactions (MCR). There are 1&#x2dc;3 aryls in the structure of the penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines. The penta-substituted tetrahydropyrimidines possess strong AIE properties and can be used for preparing organic electro-luminescence or photo-luminescence devices, or chemical and biological fluorescent sensors or probes.
