Two structurally simple and red light-emitting AIE luminogens, (1,3-dimethyl)barbituric acid-functionalized anthracenes ( B-A and DMB-A ), were designed and synthesized. In comparison with DMB-A , B-A shows strikingly enhanced AIE as well as superior thermal stability ( T d , 328.5 °C vs. 280.2 °C)....
