•The uniform microrods, microspikes and monodispersed microspheres of PMPCP were prepared.•The morphology evolution of PMPCP aggregates is concerned with the type of solvents of PMPCP solution.•Changes in shape observed of PMPCP aggregates are accompanied by changes in luminescent property.
The uniform microrods, microspikes, and monodispersed microspheres of 1,2-diphenyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-cyclopentadiene (PMPCP) were prepared by a facile solvent evaporation method. The effect of reaction conditions on the morphology evolution of PMPCP aggregates was investigated. It is believed that the different nucleation and growth processes in different solvents should be responsible for the formation of different microstructures. The photoluminescence properties of these particles were also investigated.
Graphical abstractMorphology evolution of 1,2-diphenyl-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-cyclopentadiene (PMPCP) aggregates from microrods to monodispersed microspheres was explored by adjusting the type of solvents of PMPCP solution. These microparticles exhibit the different luminescence properties compared to each other.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
