Two triphenylamines (TPA) based diamine monomers, TPCDA and TPNDA, were successfully designed and synthesized, which were of similar chemical structures but different electronic effects. Both TPCDA and TPNDA exhibit aggregation induced emission (AIE) phenomenon, and show intense emission at 395 and 447 nm in the solid state, respectively. They were polymerized with two dianhydrides (BPADA and HQDPA), respectively, to form four novel polyimides with excellent thermal stability. The fluorescence of the polyimides derived from TPNDA, TPNBPI and TPNHPI, is totally quenched. However, for the TPCDA-based polyimides, TPCBPI and TPCHPI show bright orange photoluminescence at 565 and 585 nm in their films, respectively. By increasing the concentration of TPCBPI and TPNBPI in N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) solution, their emission changes from non-luminescence to bright blue emission, followed by a red-shift due to the formation of strong intermolecular charge transfer, and they show green emission at 504 nm and 508 nm at the concentration of 4 mg·mL⁻¹. The photoluminescence of TPCDA-based polyimides is similar to the composite system, where TPA is doped in a polyimide with the same main-chain structure. However, the theoretical calculations for the model units of the resulting polyimides show that both the conjugated TPNDA-based system and the unconjugated TPCDA-based system are non-luminescent due to an inhibited transition from HOMO to LUMO level. Further studies show that the luminescent properties of the TPCDA-based polyimides are owing to the following two reasons: (1) Compared with the TPNDA-based system, the sp³ hybridized carbon atom in the TPCDA-based system separates the TPA structure from the polyimide main chain, which dispels the influence of the intramolecular charge transfer effect of the polyimide on TPA; (2) The relatively independent TPA moieties can have strong intermolecular charge transfer interaction with the polyimide main chains, which leads this system to exhibiting a strong orange fluorescence with a 184 nm red-shift of the max emission wavelength. This work demonstrates a simple strategy to develop aromatic polyimides with high fluorescence for potential applications in organic photoelectric field.
