Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic pyrazine luminogens with free (1) and locked (2) phenyl rings were readily prepared in high yields. The propeller-shaped luminogen 1 shows aggregation-induced emission feature, whereas the disk-shaped chromophore 2 shows conventional aggregation-caused quenching effect, offering a direct evidence to support our hypothesis that restriction of intramolecular rotation is the main cause for the AIE phenomenon.
