The present invention discloses a class of aggregation-induced
luminescence charge-type free radical photosensitizers and their preparation methods and antibacterial applications, and belongs to the technical field of photosensitizers and antibacterial materials. The present invention introduces a mobile
electron donor into the molecular structure of the
photosensitizer, constructs a strong charge transfer (CT) state, and suppresses the intermolecular π-π stacking effect of the molecules in the aggregated state, thereby giving the material significant aggregation
fluorescence enhancement properties. And introduce an
electron acceptor into the molecular structure, thereby strengthening the CT state of the product. In addition, due to the strong degree of
distortion between the
electron donor-
acceptor, it is beneficial to separate the highest occupied orbital and the lowest unoccupied orbital of the molecule, thereby achieving a smaller singlet-triplet
energy level difference, promoting the
excited singlet energy gap to cross to the
triplet state to achieve efficient ROS generation. At the same time, due to the limited
molecular aggregation motion, non-radiative excitation energy is effectively suppressed, prompting energy to dissipate energy in the
radiation transition pathway, and
fluorescence efficiency is increased.
