To create molecules emitting for this feature, two π-conjugated oxazol-5-one derivatives containing donor (OCH3) and acceptor groups (NO2) were synthesized. Their optical and charge-transport properties were investigated through experimental and theoretical methods including the single crystal X-ray crystallography, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, photophysical studies and Density Functional Theory (DFT), respectively. In addition, FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were performed. According to our results, both molecules may provide the significant pathway of development of long wavelength visible and red emissive features in solid phase with the aggregation induced enhanced emission (AIEE) properties particularly in the fields of OLEDs, optical communication, defence and bioimaging.
