Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen)-functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles (OINPs) are an emerging category of multifunctional nanomaterials with vast potential applications. The spatial arrangement and positioning of AIEgens and inorganic compounds in AIEgen-functionalized OINPs determine the structures, properties, and functionalities of the self-assembled nanomaterials. In this work, a facile and general emulsion self-assembly tactic for synthesizing well-defined AIEgen-functionalized OINPs is proposed by coassembling alkane chain-functionalized inorganic nanoparticles with hydrophobic organic AIEgens. As a proof of concept, the self-assembly and structural evolution of plasmonic-fluorescent hybrid nanoparticles (PFNPs) from concentric circle to core shell and then to Janus structures is demonstrated by using alkane chain-modified AuNPs and AIEgens as building blocks. The spatial position of AuNPs in the signal nanocomposite is controlled by varying the alkane ligand length and density on the AuNP surface. The mechanism behind the formation of various PFNP nanostructures is also elucidated through experiments and theoretical simulation. The obtained PFNPs with diverse structures exhibit spatially tunable optical and photothermal properties for advanced applications in multicolor and multimode immunolabeling and photothermal sterilization. This work presents an innovative synthetic approach of constructing AIEgen-functionalized OINPs with diverse structures, compositions, and functionalities, thereby championing the progressive development of these OINPs.

Abstract
Luminescent nanomaterials with outstanding optical properties have attracted growing interest due to their widespread applications. However, large-scale fabrication of luminescent nanomaterials with desired properties through a simple and economical process remains challenging. As a renewable natural resource, starch is non-toxic, easily accessible, and inexpensive, making it a popular choice for uses in various biomedical fields. In this work, we present a facile assembly strategy for the fabrication of starch-based luminescent nanoaggregates using starch as the host material and aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) as guest molecules. By employing simple procedures under mild conditions, highly luminescent nanoparticles with small sizes, high water dispersibility, and low cytotoxicity are prepared on a large scale. The resulting nano-assemblies demonstrate significantly enhanced fluorescence intensities, reduced susceptibility to photobleaching and low cytotoxicity. These fluorescent supramolecular aggregates can be employed in various application fields, including the fabrication of fluorescent hydrogels, fingerprint detection, cell imaging and in vivo lymphatic system imaging. The methodology developed in this work has immense potential to greatly promote the production of high-quality nanoparticles on the industrial scale, offering a cost-effective solution that can meet the needs of various applications and pave the way for wider implementation of nanotechnology.

Abstract
Since Cu2+ ions play a pivotal role in both ecosystems and human health, the development of a rapid and sensitive method for Cu2+ detection holds significant importance. Fluorescent mesoporous silica materials (FMSMs) have garnered considerable attention in the realm of chemical sensing, biosensing, and bioimaging due to their distinctive structure and easily functionalized surfaces. As a result, numerous Cu2+ sensors based on FMSMs have been devised and extensively applied in environmental and biological Cu2+ detection over the past few decades. This review centers on the recent advancements in the methodologies for preparing FMSMs, the mechanisms underlying sensing, and the applications of FMSMs-based sensors for Cu2+ detection. Lastly, we present and elucidate pertinent perspectives concerning FMSMs-based Cu2+ sensors.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based luminescent chemosensors combine the advantages of the highly specific molecular recognition of the imprinting sites and the high sensitivity with the luminescence detection. These advantages have drawn great attention during the past two decades. Luminescent molecularly imprinted polymers (luminescent MIPs) towards different targeted analytes are constructed with different strategies, such as the incorporation of luminescent functional monomers, physical entrapment, covalent attachment of luminescent signaling elements on the MIPs, and surface-imprinting polymerization on the luminescent nanomaterials. In this review, we will discuss the design strategies and sensing approaches of luminescent MIP-based chemosensors, as well as their selected applications in biosensing, bioimaging, food safety, and clinical diagnosis. The limitations and prospects for the future development of MIP-based luminescent chemosensors will also be discussed.

Abstract
Aggregation-dependent brightness (ADB) indirectly limits the in vitro performance of a pure aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe in many ways; thus, controlling the aggregation state of the AIE probe is helpful for detecting an object of interest. Many studies are focused on the molecule design of the AIE probes, while less efforts have been made for the control of the aggregation of the AIEs. Here, an acoustic streaming tweezer (AST) generated using a gigahertz bulk acoustic wave resonator was applied to manipulate the aggregation status of the AIE probe and further enhance their performance for human serum albumin (HSA) detection. As the trapping size of the AST matches the working size of the AIE probe, the streaming can enrich and accumulate AIE nanoparticles, which then further trigger larger aggregates. Due to the ADB effect, the fluorescence intensity strongly increased, and thus, the detection limit of HSA was reduced to 0.5 μg/mL, which is low enough for kidney disease detection. Such an AST-assisted ADB strategy is potentially applicable to other AIE probes and can work as a portable choice for the biomedical detection.

Abstract
It remains a great challenge to design and synthesize organic luminescent molecules with strong emission in both dilute solution and aggregate state. Herein, an organic cage with dodecadansyl groups (D-RCC1) from an easy sulfonation reaction displays strong emissive behavior in dilute organic solution with a quantum yield of 42%. Moreover, D-RCC1 exhibits an ultrahigh quantum yield of 92% in the solid state, which is more than 3 times that of 27% for the model compound D-DEA. The results of the experiment and theoretical calculation show that the three-dimensional symmetrical skeleton of the organic cage anchored evenly by multiple dye molecules effectively satisfies both high local density and a symmetrical distribution of chromophores, which prevents the interaction of dye molecules and ensures that dye molecules have strong emission in both single-molecule and aggregate states.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization is accompanied by the deterioration of the natural environment. The deepening crisis associated with the ecological environment has garnered widespread attention toward strengthening environmental monitoring and protection. Environmental sensors are one of the key technologies for environmental monitoring, ultimately enabling environmental protection. In recent decades, micro/nanomaterials have been widely studied and applied in environmental sensing owing to their unique dimensional properties. Electrospinning has been developed and adopted as a facile, quick, and effective technology to produce continuous micro- and nanofiber materials. The technology has advanced rapidly and become one of the hotspots in the field of nanomaterials research. Environmental sensors made from electrospun nanofibers possess many advantages, such as having a porous structure and high specific surface area, which effectively improve their performance in environmental sensing. Furthermore, by introducing functional nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, conjugated polymers, etc.) into electrospun fibers, synergistic effects between different materials can be utilized to improve the catalytic activity and sensitivity of the sensors. In this review, we aimed to outline the progress of research over the past decade on electrospinning nanofibers with different morphologies and functional characteristics in environmental sensors.

Abstract
As a non-invasive visualization technique, photoluminescence imaging (PLI) has found its huge value in many biological applications associated with intracellular process monitoring and early and accurate diagnosis of diseases. PLI can also be combined with therapeutics to build imaging-guided theragnostic platforms for achieving early and precise treatment of diseases. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a quintessential phototheranostics technology has gained great benefits from the combination with PLI. Recently, aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active materials have emerged as one of the most promising bioimaging and phototheranostic agents. Most of AIEgens, however, need to be chemically engineered to form versatile nanocomposites with improved their photophysical property, photochemical activity, biocompatibility, etc. In this review, we focus on three categories of AIE-active nanocomposites and highlight their application progresses in the intracellular biological process monitoring and PLI-guided PDT. We hope this review can guide further development of AIE-active nanocomposites and promote their practical applications for monitoring intracellular biological processes and imaging-guided PDT.

Abstract
The main production area of HClO and NO is the mitochondria and has modulatory effects on multiple human diseases. Simultaneous detection of signaling molecules such as HClO and NO is an important approach for exploring the complex relationship between HClO and NO in mitochondria. However, most probes can detect only one species or are unable to complete the monitoring of HClO and NO in the NIR channel. There are only few reports on reasonable tools that can simultaneously monitor the presence of HClO and NO in the NIR channel. In this work, to solve this difficulty, a POSS-assisted NIR fluorescent probe with dual-response was rationally devised and developed. The probe Mito-Cy possessed high specificity and responsiveness to HClO and NO in spectral experiments. Notably, the probe exhibited excellent responsiveness and sensitivity to HClO and NO in living cells and the zebrafish model.

Abstract
We report development of luminescent ionic salts consisting of the boron ketoiminate structure, which is one of the robust skeletons for expressing aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. From the formation of the boron-centered spiro structure with the ketoiminate ligands, we obtained stable ionic salts with variable anions. Since the ionic salts show Tms below 100 °C, it was shown that these salts can be classified as an ionic liquid. By using PF6 anion, the single crystal—which is applicable for X-ray crystallography—was obtained. According to the optical measurements, it was proposed that electronic interaction should occur through the boron center. Moreover, intense emission was observed both in solution and solid. Finally, we demonstrated that the emission color of the PF6 salt was altered from crystal to amorphous by adding mechanical forces. Based on boron complexation and intrinsic solid-state luminescent characters, we achieved obtainment of emissive ionic materials with environmental responsivity.

Abstract
Recent years, fluorescent organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials have received a lot of interest as potential fluorescent sensor materials. In this study, fluorescent organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials (POSS@ANT) were created utilizing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane as the precursor and 9,10-bromoanthracene as the monomer. The morphology and composition of POSS@ANT, as well as its pore characteristics and fluorescence properties were studied. And POSS@ANT displayed steady fluorescence emission at an excitation wavelength of 374 nm. Then a β-carotene fluorescence sensor was developed using the capacity of β-carotene to quench the fluorescence of POSS@ANT. The quenching process is linked to acceptor electron transfer and energy transfer, and the sensor has a high selectivity for β-carotene. This β-carotene fluorescence analysis method we established has a linear range of 0.2-4.3 mg/L and a detection limit of 0.081 mg/L. Finally, it was used to quantify β-carotene in health products, the recovery rate was 91.1% - 109.9%, the RSD was 2.2% - 4.3%, and the results were compatible with the results of high-performance liquid chromatography. The approach is reliable and can be used to determine β-carotene in health products.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emitters - or AIEgens - are often symbolised by their photoluminescence enhancement as a result of aggregation in a poor solvent. However, for some applications, it is preferable for the AIE response to be induced in the solid-state. Here, the ability of an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer host to induce the AIE response from embedded silole-based lumophores has been explored. We have focussed on understanding how the incorporation method controls the extent of lumophore aggregation and thus the associated photophysical properties. To achieve this, two sample concentration series have been prepared, based on either the parent AIEgen 1,1-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole (DMTPS) or the silylated analogue (DMTPS-Sil), which were physically doped or covalently grafted, respectively, to dU(600) - a member of the ureasil family of poly(oxyalkylene)/siloxane hybrids. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, coupled with confocal microscopy studies, revealed that covalent grafting leads to improved dispersibility of the AIEgen, reduced scattering losses, increased photoluminescence quantum yields (up to ca. 40%) and improved chemical stability. Moreover, the ureasil also functions as a photoactive host that undergoes excitation energy transfer to the embedded DMTPS-Sil with an efficiency of almost 70%. This study highlights the potential for designing complex photoluminescent hybrid polymers exhibiting an ehanced AIE response for solid-state optical applications.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe was designed and synthesized from tetraphenylethene (TPE) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) via Heck-palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. The as-synthesized TPE functionalized probe performed good solvent stability and selectively preconcentration capability towards target analyte due to its stable structure and the adsorption property. The morphology as well as the physical and chemical properties of the POSS@TPE were carefully characterized. The POSS@TPE was employed to develop an effective fluorescent probe for trifluralin, with a response range of 0.1-80 mg/kg and a detection limit of 0.102 mg/kg. The mixed mechanisms of inner-filter effect (IFE) and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) explain the selectivity of POSS@TPE. Rapid detection for trifluralin in tomato and celery has been achieved with recoveries between 99.4-120.7% (RSD≤3.4%), and the results were verified compared with GC-MS method.

Abstract
Research related to the development and application of luminescent nanoparticles (LNPs) for chemical and biological analysis and imaging is flourishing. Novel materials and new applications continue to be reported after two decades of research. This review provides a comprehensive and heuristic overview of this field. It is targeted to both newcomers and experts who are interested in a critical assessment of LNP materials, their properties, strengths and weaknesses, and prospective applications. Numerous LNP materials are cataloged by fundamental descriptions of their chemical identities and physical morphology, quantitative photoluminescence (PL) properties, PL mechanisms, and surface chemistry. These materials include various semiconductor quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene derivatives, carbon dots, nanodiamonds, luminescent metal nanoclusters, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles and downshifting nanoparticles, triplet-triplet annihilation nanoparticles, persistent-luminescence nanoparticles, conjugated polymer nanoparticles and semiconducting polymer dots, multi-nanoparticle assemblies, and doped and labeled nanoparticles, including but not limited to those based on polymers and silica. As an exercise in the critical assessment of LNP properties, these materials are ranked by several application-related functional criteria. Additional sections highlight recent examples of advances in chemical and biological analysis, point-of-care diagnostics, and cellular, tissue, and in vivo imaging and theranostics. These examples are drawn from the recent literature and organized by both LNP material and the particular properties that are leveraged to an advantage. Finally, a perspective on what comes next for the field is offered.

Abstract
A new organosiloxane precursor ((E)-3-hydroxy-4-((2-(2-hydroxy-4-(3-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)ureido)benzoyl)hydrazono)methyl)phenyl(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)carbamate, hereinafter referred to as AHBH-Si) and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) were mixed as the mixed Si source, and bridged periodic mesoporous organic silica (AHBH-PMOs) nanoparticles were obtained through the co-condensation reaction. AHBH-PMO nanoparticles possess mechanisms of "Aggregation Induced Emission" (AIE) and "Intramolecular Charge Transfer" (ICT), which originate from the molecular structure of AHBH having "C[double bond, length as m-dash]N" bond, ortho hydroxyl groups, etc.. Therefore, the optical properties of AHBH are excellent with respect to the solvent effect and enhanced fluorescence. For hybrid materials, the silica framework provides a rigid environment that restricts the rotation of AHBH, thereby turning on the fluorescence of AHBH due to the regulation by the AIE effect. In particular, AHBH-PMOs are no longer restricted by organic solvents and could really achieve the response to Cu2+ with high sensitivity and selectivity in aqueous solutions of a wide pH range. In addition, the detection limit is as low as 3.26 × 10-9 M. Methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry have shown the coordination interaction between AHBH and Cu2+. The Gaussian 09 software of density functional theory to calculate the reducing changes of energy gaps among AHBH and AHBH-Si before and after the addition of Cu2+ showed that coordination interaction exists in the system. These results indicate that AHBH-PMO hybrid materials have potential applications in the field of environmental monitoring.

Abstract
A series of functional IRMOF-3 frameworks with solid-state luminescence and tuneable light emission (from 490 to 608 nm) have been synthesized by per-functionalizing AIE-active Schiff-bases with zinc. These precursor AIE-active ligands endowed the functional frameworks with boosted fluorescence emission efficiencies (from 0.16% to 1.03%). IRMOF-3-h revealed a flower-like morphology attributed to the formation of J-aggregates, and could be used as a fluorescent probe for sensitive detection of copper(ii) (135 pM) and thiols (subnanomole).

Abstract
Flexible optical sensors are widely studied and applied in many fields. However, developing highly stable and washable wearable sensors in optics is still facing significant challenges. Here, we demonstrate an AIEgen-organosilica framework (TPEPMO) hybrid nanostructure-based flexible optical sensor, which is prepared by a two-step co-condensation and electrospinning superassembly process. Organosilica precursors with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features are covalently linked into periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) frameworks with high fluorescent efficiency due to the restriction of intramolecular motion. The three-dimensional space of ordered porous materials provides abundant reaction sites, allowing rapid and sensitive monitoring of analytes. TPEPMOs exhibit good properties as acidic pH fluorescent sensors with a pKa of 4.3. A flexible film is obtained by dispersing TPEPMO nanospheres in a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) hybrid fibrous matrix (TPEPMO-CFs) using the electrospinning superassembly technique and is successfully served as an efficient fluorescent probe for the naked eye detection of ammonia gas and HCl vapor by emission changes. The fluorescence of TPEPMO-CFs can be reversed in the presence of volatile acidic/alkaline gas for more than five cycles, exhibiting excellent recyclability. In addition, TPEPMO-CF sensors show excellent washability and long-term photostability (fluorescence was maintained above 94% after washing 10 times). These stimuli-responsive AIEgen-organosilica frameworks featuring diversified forms and superstability for wearable and washable solid-state fluorescence exhibit great potential for smart gas sensors, wearable devices, and solid-state lighting applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging have been research hotspots for adjuvant therapy and diagnosis. However, traditional fluorescent probes or contrast agents possess insurmountable weaknesses. In this work, we reported the preparation of dual-mode probes based on mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs), which were doped with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dye and Gd3+ through a direct sol-gel method. In this system, the obtained materials emitted strong red fluorescence, in which the maximum emission wavelength was located at 669 nm, and could be applied as effective fluorescence probes for fluorescence microscopy imaging. Furthermore, the introduction of Gd3+ made the nanoparticles effective contrast agents when applied in contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging because they could improve the contrast of MR imaging. The excellent biocompatibility of these nanoparticles, as demonstrated via a typical CCK-8 assay, and their performance in fluorescence cell imaging and MR imaging shows their potential for applications in biomedical imaging.

Abstract
In this work, an AIE luminogen-based hydrogel with temperature-responsive fluorescence was designed and synthesized. The polymeric hydrogel consisted of a supramolecular network through coordination and ionic interactions. When the temperature was decreased, due to the motion restriction of the polyacrylic acid macromolecular segments and the enhancement in ionic interaction, the hydrogel exhibited a blue-shift in the fluorescence emission peak and increase in the fluorescence intensity, resulting in the visualization of fluorescence changes. The hydrogel network benefitted from non-covalent crosslinking and thus possessed self-healing properties at room temperature with good toughness and resiliency. Therefore, this fluorescent supramolecular hydrogel might be used as a temperature-responsive material. A supramolecular hydrogel was synthesized by using tetra(4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)ethylene (TPPE) as AIE luminogen. The gel not only featured self-healing performance, but also exhibited the temperature-responsive fluorescence with thermochromism.![]()

Abstract
Linear copolymer hosts bearing a number of pillar[5]arene dangling side chains are synthesized for the facile construction of highly emissive supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) upon noncovalently cross-linking with a series of tetraphenyethylene (TPE)-based tetratopic guests terminated with different functional groups through supramolecular host-guest interactions. An extremely high fluorescence quantum yield (98.22%) of the SPNs materials is obtained in tetrahydrofuran (THF) by fine-tuning the parameters, and meanwhile supramolecular light-harvesting systems based on spherical supramolecular nanoparticles are constructed by interweaving 9,10-distyrylanthracene (DSA) and TPE-based guest molecules of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) with the copolymer hosts in the mixed solvent of THF/H2 O. The present study not only illustrates the restriction of the intramolecular rotations (RIR)-ruled emission enhancement mechanism regulated particularly by macrocyclic arene-containing copolymer hosts, but also suggests a new self-assembly approach to construct high-performance light-harvesting materials.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging is a promising visualization tool and possesses the advantages of in situ response and facile operation; thus, it is widely exploited for bioassays. However, traditional fluorophores suffer from concentration limits because they are always quenched when they aggregate, which impedes applications, especially for trace analysis and real-time monitoring. Recently, novel molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics were developed to solve the problems encountered when using traditional organic dyes, because these new molecules exhibit weak or even no fluorescence when they are in free movement states but emit intensely upon the restriction of intramolecular motions. Inspired by the excellent performances of AIE molecules, a substantial number of AIE-based probes have been designed, synthesized, and applied to various fields to fulfill diverse detection tasks. According to numerous experiments, AIE probes are more practical than traditional fluorescent probes, especially when used in bioassays. To bridge bioimaging and materials engineering, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of the development of AIE bioprobes. It begins with a summary of mechanisms of the AIE phenomenon. Then, the strategies to realize accurate detection using AIE probes are discussed. In addition, typical examples of AIE-active materials applied in diagnosis, treatment, and nanocarrier tracking are presented. In addition, some challenges are put forward to inspire more ideas in the promising field of AIE-active materials.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the synthesis of novel light-emitting liquid-crystalline (LC) compounds bearing pentafluorinated bistolane-based luminophores with a V- or a Y-shaped molecular geometry and the evaluation of their LC and photophysical characteristics. The V- or Y-shaped compounds exhibited a unique LC phase and showed photoluminescence (PL) behavior under various circumstances, such as in dilute solution or in the solid state. Notably, PL characteristics were observed even under high-temperature conditions with a crystal (Cr) to LC phase transition, although the PL efficiency (Φ PL) was gradually reduced because of thermal molecular motion. Interestingly, Φ PL was found to be completely recovered through the LC → Cr phase transition during the cooling process; the PL characteristics of the V- or Y-shaped compounds were sensitively changed by external thermal stress, giving these compounds the ability to act as thermoresponsive PL sensing materials.

Abstract
Fluorescent imaging techniques have attracted much attention as a powerful tool to realize the visualization of structural and morphological evolution of various materials. However, the traditional fluorescent dyes usually suffered from aggregation-caused quenching, which severely limits the visualization results. In contrast, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules with high quantum yields in the condensed state showed great opportunities for imaging techniques. In this feature article, recent progresses in visualization with AIE molecules are discussed. Assembly processes including crystallization, gelation process, and dissipative assembly have been observed. To better study information obtained regarding the processes, visualization during reactions, phase transitions, and molecular motions are successfully presented. Based on these successes, AIE molecules were further applied for phase recognition, macro-dispersion evaluation, and damage detection. Finally, we also present the outlook and perspectives, in our opinion, for the development of visualization by AIE molecules.

Abstract
Development of fluorescent probes for on-site sensing and long-term tracking of specific biomarkers is particularly desirable for the early detection of diseases. However, available small-molecule probes tend to facilely diffuse across the cell membrane or remain at the activation site but always suffer from the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect. Here we report an enzyme-activatable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe QM-βgal, which is composed of a hydrophilic β-galactosidase (β-gal)-triggered galactose moiety and a hydrophobic AIE-active fluorophore QM-OH. The probe is virtually non-emissive in aqueous media, but when activated by β-gal, specific enzymatic turnover would liberate hydrophobic AIE luminogen (AIEgen) QM-OH, and then highly fluorescent nanoaggregates are in situ generated as a result of the AIE process, allowing for on-site sensing of endogenous β-gal activity in living cells. Notably, taking advantage of the improved intracellular retention of nanoaggregates, we further exemplify QM-βgal for long-term (∼12 h) visualization of β-gal-overexpressing ovarian cancer cells with high fidelity, which is essential for biomedicine and diagnostics. Thus, this enzyme-activatable AIE probe not only is a potent tool for elucidating the roles of β-gal in biological systems, but also offers an enzyme-regulated liberation strategy to exploit multifunctional probes for preclinical applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles that possess unique structures and properties are highly desired in the production of multifunctional materials because of their combinational performance. In this study, a facile and effective fabricating strategy is developed to controllably prepare fluorescent hollow mesoporous silica nanorods via the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and tetraphenylethene (TPE) luminogen-functionalized gemini surfactant (CTPE-C6-CTPE) guided dual-templating approach. Because of its unique chemical structure, water solubility, surface activity, and fluorescent properties, the designed CTPE-C6-CTPE will not only provide an anchored fluorophore for silica nanoparticles but also serve as an intimate partner of CTAB to regulate their construction in the structure-directing process. By properly tuning the molar ratio of CTAB/CTPE-C6-CTPE, the shape-controlled aggregation-induced emission hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AIE-MSNs) can be prepared directly, producing two kinds of silica nanorods (AIE-MSNs-15 and AIE-MSNs-7). In particular, the incorporated bulky TPE luminogens will not only endow AIE-MSNs-7 with enhanced fluorescence intensity (2.3-fold) after the removal of CTAB but also bring about high accessible surface area (606.6 m2/g) and larger pore size (3.2 nm) and pore volume (0.634 cm3/g) for effective loading and sustained release of the hydrophobic anticancer drug camptothecin. CTPE-C6-CTPE enriches the family of gemini surfactants and provides important insights into the convenient fabrication of advanced fluorescent mesoporous materials.

Abstract
We herein describe the synthesis of novel pentafluorinated tolane fluorophores, which possess an extended π-conjugated structure with a large molecular dipole moment along the longitudinal axis. We also report a detailed evaluation of both the photophysical and thermal behaviors of these fluorophores. All molecules displayed photoluminescence (PL) characteristics in both the crystalline state and in dilute solutions. The large longitudinal dipole moment induced solvatochromic PL behavior, which switched sensitively with changes in the solvent polarity. In addition, incorporation of the fluorinated tolane-based solid-state light-emitting moiety into the polymer side chain was found to be responsible for the PL characteristics observed in the solid state. It was also noteworthy that the polymerization protocol led to a significant enhancement in the thermal stability, with the thermal decomposition temperature increased by 90 °C. Accordingly, novel solid-state light-emitting materials with high thermal stabilities were successfully developed as promising candidates for use in light-emitting and optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Compared to the many studies that focus on the development of novel molecular frameworks pertaining to functionalized fluorescent materials, there is lesser emphasis on side chains even though they have a significant impact on the properties and applications of fluorescent materials. In this study, a series of pyridinium-functionalized tetraphenylethene salts (TPEPy-1 to TPEPy-4) possessing different alkyl chains are synthesized, and the influence of chain length on their optical performance and applications is thoroughly investigated. By changing the alkyl chain, the fluorogens exhibit opposite emission behavior in aqueous media because of their distinct hydrophobic nature, and their solid-state emission can be fine-tuned from green to red owing to their distinct molecular configuration. In addition, by increasing the chain length, the microstructure of the self-assembled fluorogens converts from microplates to microrods with various emission colors. Moreover, TPEPy-1 exhibits dual-mode fluorescence "turn-on" response toward NO3- and ClO4- in aqueous media because the anions induce the self-assembly of fluorogens. Furthermore, the fluorogens display cellular uptake selectivity while the proper alkyl chain impels the fluorogens to penetrate the cell membrane and accumulate in the mitochondria with high specificity.

A Facile Approach towards Fluorescent Nanogels with AIE-Active Spacers. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:polym10070722.

Abstract
A facile and efficient approach for design and synthesis of organic fluorescent nanogels has been developed by using a pre-synthesized polymeric precursor. This strategy is achieved by two key steps: (i) precise synthesis of core⁻shell star-shaped block copolymers with crosslinkable AIEgen-precursor (AIEgen: aggregation induced emission luminogen) as pending groups on the inner blocks; (ii) gelation of the inner blocks by coupling the AIEgen-precursor moieties to generate AIE-active spacers, and thus, fluorescent nanogel. By using this strategy, a series of star-shaped block copolymers with benzophenone groups pending on the inner blocks were synthesized by grafting from a hexafunctional initiator through atom transfer radical copolymerization (ATRP) of 4-benzoylphenyl methacrylate (BPMA) or 2-(4-benzoylphenoxy)ethyl methacrylate (BPOEMA) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl-protected 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (ProHEMA) followed by a sequential ATRP to grow PMMA or PProHEMA. The pendent benzophenone groups were coupled by McMurry reaction to generate tetraphenylethylene (TPE) groups which served as AIE-active spacers, affording a fluorescent nanogel. The nanogel showed strong emission not only at aggregated state but also in dilute solution due to the strongly restricted inter- and intramolecular movement of TPE moiety in the crosslinked polymeric network. The nanogel has been used as a fluorescent macromolecular additive to fabricate fluorescent film.

Abstract
A novel multifunctional drug delivery system has been constructed by assembling per-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin-modified ultrasmall CuS nanoparticles (CD-CuS) onto fluorescent AIEgen-containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (FMSN). The CD-CuS nanoparticles are anchored on the surface of benzimidazole-grafted FMSN, acting as a gatekeeper and photothermal agent. The prepared blue-emitting nanocomposite (FMSN@CuS) exhibits good biocompatibility and cell imaging capability. Anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) molecules are loaded into FMSN@CuS, and zero prerelease at physiological pH (7.4) and on-demand drug release at an acidic environment can be achieved due to the pH-responsive gate-opening of CD-CuS only at an acidic condition. The FMSN@CuS nanocomposite can generate obvious thermal effect after the exposure of 808 nm laser, which can also accelerate the DOX release. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of DOX-loaded FMSN@CuS increases with the release of DOX, and the intracellular drug release process can be tracked according to the change of luminescence intensity. More importantly, DOX-loaded FMSN@CuS displays efficient anticancer effects in vitro upon 808 nm laser irradiation, demonstrating a good synergistic therapeutic effect via combining enhanced chemotherapy and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Luminescent bioprobes are powerful analytical means for biosensing and optical imaging. Luminogens featured with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have emerged as ideal building blocks for high-performance bioprobes. Bioprobes constructed with AIE luminogens have been identified to be a novel class of FL light-up probing tools. In contrast to conventional bioprobes based on the luminophores with aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, the AIE-based bioprobes enjoy diverse superiorities, such as lower background, higher signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity, better accuracy, and more outstanding resistance to photobleaching. AIE-based bioprobes have been tailored for a vast variety of purposes ranging from biospecies sensing to bioimaging to theranostics (i.e., image-guided therapies). In this review, recent five years' advances in AIE-based bioprobes are briefly overviewed in a perspective distinct from other reviews, focusing on the most appealing trends and progresses in this flourishing research field. There are altogether 11 trends outlined, which have been classified into four aspects: the probe composition and form (bioconjugtes, nanoprobes), the output signal of probe (far-red/near-infrared luminescence, two/three-photon excited fluorescence, phosphorescence), the modality and functionality of probing system (dual-modality, dual/multifunctionality), the probing object and application outlet (specific organelles, cancer cells, bacteria, real samples). Typical examples of each trend are presented and specifically demonstrated. Some important prospects and challenges are pointed out as well in the hope of intriguing more interests from researchers working in diverse areas into this exciting research field.
