Abstract

The abnormal evolution of membrane-less organelles into amyloid fibrils is a causative factor in many neurodegenerative diseases. Fundamental research on evolving organic aggregates is thus instructive for understanding the root causes of these diseases. In-situ monitoring of evolving molecular aggregates with built-in fluorescence properties is a reliable approach to reflect their subtle structural variation. To increase the sensitivity of real-time monitoring, we presented organic aggregates assembled by TPAN-2MeO, which is a triphenyl acrylonitrile derivative. TPAN-2MeO showed a morphological evolution with distinct turn-on emission. Upon rapid nanoaggregation, it formed non-emissive spherical aggregates in the kinetically metastable state. Experimental and simulation results revealed that the weak homotypic interactions between the TPAN-2MeO molecules liberated their molecular motion for efficient non-radiative decay, and the strong heterotypic interactions between TPAN-2MeO and water stabilized the molecular geometry favorable for the non-fluorescent state. After ultrasonication, the decreased heterotypic interactions and increased homotypic interactions acted synergistically to allow access to the emissive thermodynamic equilibrium state with a decent photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). The spherical aggregates were eventually transformed into micrometer-sized blocklike particles. Under mechanical stirring, the co-assembly of TPAN-2MeO and Pluronic F-127 formed uniform fluorescent platelets, inducing a significant enhancement in PLQY. These results decipher the stimuli-triggered structural variation of organic aggregates with concurrent sensitive fluorescence response and pave the way for a deep understanding of the evolutionary events of biogenic aggregates.
