1,2,4,5-Tetraphenylimidazole derivatives exhibit unique conjugated structures, photophysical properties, and multifunctional properties by virtue of the phenyl functional groups introduced at specific positions of the imidazole ring. However, there is still a lack of systematic research on them, which limits their further development and application. In this paper, we comprehensively review the research progress in the fields of organic synthesis, mechanistic fluorescence color change, chemiluminescence, OLED and fluorescent sensors, especially focusing on the hotspot of fluorescent sensors. Finally, it summarizes the challenges in the current research and looks forward to the future research directions, such as the design of novel structures, performance optimization, and exploration of practical applications, aiming to provide references and inspirations for researchers in related fields.
1,2,4,5-四苯基咪唑衍生物由于在咪唑环的特定位置引入了苯基官能团，展现出独特的共轭结构、光物理性质和多功能性质。然而，目前对它们仍缺乏系统的研究，这限制了它们的进一步发展和应用。本文全面综述了其在有机合成、机械荧光变色、化学发光、有机发光二极管和荧光传感器等领域的研究进展，尤其聚焦于荧光传感器这一热点。最后，总结了当前研究中的挑战，并展望了未来的研究方向，如新型结构设计、性能优化以及实际应用探索等，旨在为相关领域的研究人员提供参考和启示。
