Oligomeric siloxanes bearing unconventional fluorescence units, i.e., oxygen, amino, and hydroxyl functionalities, show the intrinsic blue fluorescence that results from oxygen clusters, namely, the CTE mechanism. In addition, intermolecular hydrogen bonds are conducive to the aggregation of the molecular chains and the formation of oxygen clusters.
