The mixture was heated to 110°C under nitrogen for 12 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was extracted three times with dichloromethane. The organic layer was collected, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was obtained by column chromatography using ethyl acetate and n-hexane (V:V = 1:8) as eluents. The crude product was then washed with n-hexane to obtain a light yellow product, 9-bis(methyl 3-benzoate)ethylene-fluorene, with a calculated yield of 51%.

[0040] This example is based on Example 1, and the various process parameters in the preparation process of 9-bis(methyl 3-benzoate)ethylene-fluorene are adjusted to explore their effects on the yield. The specific parameter adjustments and results are shown in Table 1.

[0041] Table 1 Effect of different process parameter adjustments on the yield of 9-bis(3-benzoic acid methyl ester)ethylene-fluorene

[0042]

[0043]

[0045] Example 3

[0046] This example is based on the 9-bis(3-benzoic acid methyl ester)ethylene-fluorene prepared in Example 1, and is specifically prepared as follows:

[0047] 9-bis(3-benzoic acid methyl ester)ethylene-fluorene (446 mg, 1.00 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (410 mg, 10.00 mmol) were added to 60 mL of a mixed solvent of tetrahydrofuran, methanol and water (V:V:V=1:1:1), heated to 80°C under nitrogen protection, reacted for 24 hours, and evaporated under reduced pressure.

[0054]

[0055] Comparative Example 1

[0056] The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that no nitrogen was introduced during the heating reaction. The reaction was heated to 80° C. in an air atmosphere and reacted for 24 h to obtain a light yellow product, 9-di(3-benzoic acid)ethylene-fluorene, with a calculated yield of only 20%.

[0061] The 9-bis(3-benzoic acid)ethylene-fluorene material was dispersed into 50 mL of a mixed solution of DMF and water in different proportions to prepare a stable suspension with a concentration of 0.1 mg / mL. The luminescence intensity was tested under 330 nm excitation light. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, as the proportion of water in the mixed solution gradually increases, the luminescence intensity is significantly enhanced, which shows that the material has obvious aggregation-induced emission effect.

[0062] Example 6

[0063] This example verifies the effectiveness of the 9-bis(3-benzoic acid)ethylene-fluorene material in detecting permanganate.

[0064] The 9-bis(3-benzoic acid)ethylene-fluorene prepared in Example 3 of the present invention was dispersed in 50 mL of water to prepare a stable suspension with a concentration of 0.1 mg / mL. 5 mM permanganate aqueous solution of different volumes was added dropwise and the luminescence intensity was tested under 330 nm excitation light. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2, as the amount of permanganate increases, the luminescence intensity of the suspension gradually quenches, and the quenching efficiency reaches 95.7%. Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, its quenching constant is 4.37×10 4 M -1 , the detection limit was 4.55×10 -3 mM2, indicating that the material can be effectively used in the detection of permanganate.

[0065] In summary, the present invention synthesized for the first time an organic material 9-bis(3-benzoic acid)ethylene-fluorene based on a fluorene ring and containing a carboxyl group. This material has a significant aggregation-induced emission effect, and its luminescence performance is weak in benign solvents, but strong in poor solvents.

[0066] The organic material 9-bis(3-benzoic acid)ethylene-fluorene of the present invention can be used to detect aqueous permanganate.
