Abstract
Near-infrared organic fluorescent probes have great need in biological sciences and medicine but most of them are still largely unable to meet demand. In this work, a delicate multipurpose organic fluorescent probe (DPPM-TPA) with aggregation-induced emission performances is designed and prepared by facile method to reflect fluorescence labeling, two-photon imaging, and long-term fluorescent tracking. Specifically, DPPM-TPA NPs was constructed from 4-(diphenylamino)phenylboronic acid and DPPM-Br by classical Suzuki coupling reaction and then coated with F127. Such nanoprobe possessed high stability in diverse medium under ambient temperatures, low cytotoxicity, and brilliant fluorescence performance. More importantly, DPPM-TPA NPs showed excellent two-photon imaging and extraordinary long-term fluorescence tracing capacity to malignant tumor, and it can last up to 9 days. These results indicated that DPPM-TPA NPs is expected to serve as a fluorescent probe for photodiagnostic and providing a new idea for the development of long-term fluorescent tracker.

Abstract
Infections induced by pathogenic microorganisms will bring negative effects such as diseases that damage health and result in heavy economic burden. Therefore, it is very important to detect and identify the pathogens in time. Moreover, traditional clinical diagnosis or food testing often faces the problem of dealing with a large number of samples. Here, we designed a high-throughput fluorescent sensor array based on the different binding ability of five tetraphenylethylene derivatives (TPEs) with various side chains to different kinds of pathogenic microbes, which is used to detect and distinguish various species, so as to realize rapid mass diagnosis, and hopefully provide guidance for further determination of microbial infections and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Label-free nucleic acid fluorescent probes are gaining popularity due to their low cost and ease of application. However, the primary challenges associated with label-free fluorescent probes stem from their tendency to interact with other biomolecules, such as RNA, proteins, and enzymes, which results in low specificity. In this work, we have developed a simple detection platform that utilizes Fe3O4@PPy in combination with a label-free nucleic acid probe, 1,1,2,2-tetrakis[4-(2-bromo-ethoxy)phenyl]ethene (TTAPE) or Malachite Green (MG), for highly selective detection of metal ions, acetamiprid, and thrombin. Fe3O4@PPy not only adsorbs aptamers through electrostatic interactions, π-π bonding, and hydrogen bonding, but also quenches the fluorescence of the TTAPE/MG. Upon the addition of target compounds, the aptasensor separates from Fe3O4@PPy through magnetic separation. Moreover, by changing different aptamers, the aptasensor was applied to detect metal ions, acetamiprid, and thrombin, with the turned-on photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity recorded and showing linearity to the concentrations of targets. The robustness of method was demonstrated by applying it to real samples, which included vegetables (for detecting acetamiprid with LODs of 0.02 and 0.04 ng/L), serum samples (for detecting thrombin with LODs of 5.5 and 4.3 nM), and water samples (for detecting Pb2+ with an LOD of 0.17 nM). Therefore, due to its impressive selectivity and sensitivity, the Fe3O4@PPy aptasensor could be utilized as a universal detection platform for various clinical and environmental applications.

Abstract
As an emerging fluorophore, aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have received widespread attention in recent years, but the inherent drawbacks of AIEgens, such as the poor water-solubility and insufficient fluorescence stability in complex environments, restrict their performance in practical applications. Herein, we report a universal strategy based on hydrophobic dendritic mesoporous silica (HMSN) that can integrate different AIE molecules to construct multi-color fluorescent AIE materials. Specifically, HMSN with central radial pores was used as a powerful carrier for direct loading AIE molecules and restricting their intramolecular motions. Due to the pore-domain restriction effect and hydrophobic interaction, the obtained silica-based AIE materials have bright fluorescence with a maximum quantum yield of 68.38%, high colloidal/fluorescence stability, and excellent biosafety. Further, these silica-based AIE materials can be conjugated with functional antibodies to obtain probes with different targetability. After integration with immunomagnetic beads, the prepared detection probes achieved the quantitative detection of cardiac troponin I with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.508 ng/mL. Overall, the targeting probes stemming from silica-based AIE materials can not only achieve cell-specific imaging, but quantify the number of Jurkat cells (LOD = 270 cells/mL) to further determine the specific etiology of the disease.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has been widely used in research on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) due to its excellent luminescence intensity. In this work, copper superparticles (Cu SPs) were used to construct ECL biosensor to detect the microRNA-103a (miRNA-103a) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) tumor tissues. Firstly, GSH-capped copper clusters were used as precursors to prepare Cu SPs by the AIE effect. Compared with clusters, Cu SPs possessed higher luminescence performance and energy stability, making them an ideal choice for ECL nanoprobe. The film of PVDF-HFP/CeVO4 NPs was constructed and modified with CPBA and GSH as the sensing interface (PCCG). The PCCG film displayed good conductivity and hydrophilicity, and desirable mechanical stability. Moreover, the PCCG film can induce high carrier mobility rates and dissociate large amounts of the co-reactant K2S2O8 to enhance the ECL intensity of Cu SPs. As a result, the prepared ECL sensor with the catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy was employed to quantify miRNA-103a in the range of 100 fM to 100 nM. The biosensor provided a novel analytical approach for the clinical diagnosis of TNBC.

Abstract
Recently, the non-covalently activated supramolecular scaffold method has become a prominent research area in the field of intelligent materials. Here, the inorganic clay (LP) promoted the AIE properties of 4,4',4″,4‴-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayltetrakis(benzene-4,1-diyl))tetrakis(1-ethylpyridin-1-ium) (P-TPE), showing an astonishing 42-fold enhancement of the emission intensity of the yellow-green luminescence and a 34-fold increase of the quantum yield via organic-inorganic supramolecular strategy as well as the efficient light-harvesting properties (energy transfer efficiency up to 33 %) after doping with the dye receptor Rhodamine B. Furthermore, the full-color spectral regulation, including white light, was achieved by adjusting the ratio of the donor to the acceptor component and co-assembling with the carbon dots (CD). Interestingly, this TPE-based non-covalently activated full-color supramolecular light-harvesting system (LHS) could be achieved not only in aqueous media but also in the hydrogel and the solid state. More importantly, this panchromatic tunable supramolecular LHS exhibited the multi-mode and quadruple digital logic encryption property as well as the specific detection ability towards the perfluorobutyric acid and the perfluorobutanesulfonic acid, which are harmful to human health in drinking water. This result develops a simple, convenient and effective approach for the intelligent anti-counterfeiting and the pollutant sensing.

Abstract
Nitroreductase (NTR) is a frequently used biomarker for the assessment of hypoxia level in tumors. As one of the main sources of enzymes, the dysfunction of lysosomes typically leads to various diseases. In this study, an NTR-triggered lysosome-targeting probe, M-TPE-P, was designed based on a tetraphenylethylene core. DFT calculation indicated that the probe possessed a narrow singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST), rendering it an efficient photosensitizer. The docking affinity of M-TPE-P to NTR revealed a strong structural match between them. Photophysical properties demonstrated that the probe exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity in a broad pH rang for detecting NTR with kcat/Km as 2.18 × 104 M-1 s-1. The detection limit was determined to be 53.6 ng/mL in 80 % PBS/DMSO solution. Cell imaging studies showed the probe could trace intracellular NTR behavior with green fluorescence. The colocalization analysis indicated its excellent lysosome-targeting specificity. In addition, the probe exhibited effective ROS generation ability and significant PDT effect after NIR irradiation, positioning it as a promising photosensitizer for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Fluorescence analysis has been regarded as one of the commonly used analytical methods because of its advantages of simple operation, fast response, low cost and high sensitivity. So far, various fluorescent probes, with noble metal nanoclusters, quantum dots, organic dyes and metal organic frameworks as representatives, have been widely reported. However, single fluorescent probe often suffers from some deficiencies, such as low quantum yield, poor chemical stability, low water solubility and toxicity. To overcome these disadvantages, the introduction of cyclodextrins into fluorescent probes has become a fascinating approach. This review (with 218 references) systematically covers the research progress of fluorescent composites based on cyclodextrins in recent years. Preparation strategies, fluorescence properties, response mechanisms and applications in sensing (ions, organic pollutants, bio-related molecules, temperature, pH) and bioimaging of fluorescent composites based on cyclodextrins are summarized in detail. Finally, the current challenges and future perspectives of these composites in relative research fields are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, we have successfully designed and synthesized two novel dual-emission emitters featuring phenothiazine-5-oxide and phenothiazine-5,5-dioxide motifs, characterized by highly lopsided and asymmetric conformational states. Through rigorous spectral examinations and DFT calculations, the compounds exhibit distinctive ICT phenomena, coupled with efficient emission in solid states and AIEE characteristics under high water fractions in DMF/H2O mixtures. These non-planar luminogens exhibit vibrant green and blue solid-state luminescence, with fluorescence quantum yields of 24.1 % and 15.21 %, respectively. Additionally, they both emit green fluorescence in THF solution, with notable emission quantum yields (QYs) 36.4 % and 30.4 %. Comprehensive theoretical investigations unveil well-defined electron cloud density separation between the energies of HOMO/LUMO levels within the two luminogens. Notably, the targeted molecule harboring the phenothiazine-S,S-dioxide motif also demonstrates remarkable reversible mechanofluorochromic properties. Moreover, we testify their potential in applications such as solid-state rewritable information storage and live-cell imaging in solution states. Through theoretical calculations and comparative studies, we have explored the intrinsic relationship between molecular structure and performance, effectively screening and identifying new fluorescent molecules exhibiting outstanding luminescent attributes. These discoveries establish a robust theoretical and technical foundation for the synthesis and application of efficient DSE-based MFC materials, opening new avenues in the realm of advanced luminescent materials.

Abstract
Administered drug molecules, whether dissolved or solubilized, have the potential to precipitate and accumulate as solid forms in tissues and cells within the body. This phase transition can significantly impact the pharmacokinetics of treatment. It is thus crucial to gain an understanding of how drug solubility/permeability, drug formulations and routes of administration affect in vivo behaviors of drug deposition. This review examines literature reports on the drug deposition in tissues and cells of poorly water-soluble drugs, as well as underlying physical mechanisms that lead to precipitation. Our work particularly highlights drug deposition in macrophages and the subcellular fate of precipitated drugs. We also propose a tissue permeability-based classification framework to evaluate precipitation potentials of poorly soluble drugs in major organs and tissues. The impact on pharmacokinetics is further discussed and needs to be considered in developing drug delivery systems. Finally, bioimaging techniques that are used to examine aggregated states and the intracellular trafficking of absorbed drugs are summarized.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE), the phenomenon by which selected luminophores undergo the enhancement of emission intensity upon aggregation, has demonstrated potential in materials and biomaterials science, and in particular in those branches for which spectral management in the solid state is of fundamental importance. Its development in the area of luminescent spectral conversion devices like luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) is instead still in its infancy. This account aims at summarizing relevant contributions made in this field so far, with a special emphasis on the design of molecular and macromolecular architectures capable of extending their spectral breadth to the deep-red (DR) and the near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Because of the many prospective advantages characterizing these spectral regions in terms of photon flux density and human-eye perception, it is anticipated that further development in the design, synthesis and engineering of advanced molecular and macromolecular DR/NIR-active AIE luminophores will enable faster and easier integration of LSCs into the built environment as highly transparent, active elements for unobtrusive light-to-electricity conversion.

Abstract
Activity-based detection of γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes is a promising strategy for early cancer diagnosis. Although NIR pyridinium probes show high performance in biochemical analysis, the aggregation of both the probes and parental fluorochromes in biological environments is prone to result in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SBR), thus affecting their clinical applications. Here, we develop a GGT-activatable aggregate probe called OTBP-G for two-photon fluorescence imaging in various biological environments under 1040 nm excitation. By rationally tunning the hydrophilicity and donor-acceptor strength, we enable a synergistic effect between twisted intramolecular charge transfer and intersystem crossing processes and realize a perfect dark state for OTBP-G before activation. After the enzymatic reaction, the parental fluorochrome exhibits bright aggregation-induced emission peaking at 670 nm. The fluorochrome-to-probe transformation can induce 1000-fold fluorescence ON/OFF ratio, realizing in vitro GGT detection with an SBR > 900. Activation of OTBP-G occurs within 1 min in vivo, showing an SBR > 400 in mouse ear blood vessels. OTBP-G can further enable the early detection of pulmonary metastasis in breast cancer by topically spraying, outperforming the clinical standard hematoxylin and eosin staining. We anticipate that the in-depth study of OTBP-G can prompt the development of early cancer diagnosis and tumor-related physiological research. Moreover, this work highlights the crucial role of hydrophilicity and donor-acceptor strength in maximizing the ON/OFF ratio of the TICT probes and showcases the potential of OTBP as a versatile platform for activity-based sensing.

Abstract
To address key concerns on solid-state pyrene-based luminescent materials, we propose a novel and efficient mechanical bond strategy. This strategy results in a transformation from ACQ to AIE effect and a remarkable enhancement of pyrene emission in the solid state. Moreover, an unusual purification of emission is also achieved. Through computational calculation and experimental characterisation, finally determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, we prove that the excellent emissions result from mechanical bond induced refinement of molecular arrangements, including reduced π-π stacking, well-ordered packing and enhanced structural stability. This work demonstrates the potential of mechanical bond in the field of organic luminescent molecules, providing a new avenue for developing high-performance organic luminescent materials.

Abstract
As a new type of zero-dimensional nanomaterial, carbon dots are widely applied in various fields. However, most of the carbon dots have aggregation fluorescence quenching properties, which limited their practical applications. In this study, a novel sulfur-doped carbon dots (S-CDs) was prepared by solvothermal method. The properties of the S-CDs in ethanol solution and in solid state were investigated respectively. The results showed that the S-CDs have an excited wavelength dependent emission of blue fluorescence in ethanol solution, and have orange fluorescence emission in solid state and composite films, indicating the prepared S-CDs has aggregation-induced emission (AIE) performance. The main reason was that the presence of S-S bonds and the intramolecular rotation of aromatic rings were limited in solid state, resulting in its emission of orange fluorescence. Furthermore, the S-CDs could be applied to identify fingerprints, anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Organotin(IV) and iridium(III) complexes have shown good application potential in the field of anticancer; however, the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect induced by high concentration or dose has limited the research on their targeting and anticancer mechanism. Then, a series of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-activated butyltin(IV)-iridium(III) imidazole-phenanthroline complexes were prepared in this study. Complexes exhibited significant fluorescence improvement in the aggregated state because of the restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR), accompanied by an absolute fluorescence quantum yield of up to 29.2% (IrSn9). Complexes demonstrated potential in vitro antiproliferative and antimigration activity against A549 cells, following a lysosomal-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Nude mouse models further confirmed that complexes had favorable in vivo antitumor and antimigration activity in comparison to cisplatin. Therefore, butyltin(IV)-iridium(III) imidazole-phenanthroline complexes possess the potential as potential substitutes for platinum-based drugs.

Abstract
Excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) molecules, which feature large Stokes shifts to avoid self-absorption, play an essential role in photoluminescent bioimaging probes. Herein, we report the development of an ESIPT molecule 3-(3-hydroxypyridin-2-yl)isoquinolin-4-ol (PiQ). PiQ not only undergoes a distinct ESIPT process unlike the symmetrical 2,2'-bipyridyl-3,3'-diol but also exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. PiQ self-assembles into aggregates with an average size of 241.0±51.9 nm in aqueous solutions, leading to significantly enhanced photoluminescence. On the basis of the ESIPT and AIE characteristics of PiQ, the latter is functionalized with a hydrogen peroxide-responsive 4-pinacoratoborylbenzyl group (B) and a carboxylesterase-responsive acetyl group (A) to produce a photoluminescent probe B-PiQ-A. The potential of PiQ for applications in bioimaging and chemical sensing is underscored by its efficient detection of both endogenous and exogenous hydrogen peroxide in living cells.

Abstract
The rapid and sensitive detection of chemical compounds in body fluids and tissues is important for diagnosis of diseases and assessment of the effectiveness of treatment programs. Point-of-care (POC) sensors based on fluorescence signals have been widely used in the rapid detection of various infectious diseases. However, the aggregation-caused quenching phenomenon of conventional fluorescent probes limits the sensitivity and accuracy of fluorescent POC sensors. In this review, we first focus on aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based POC detection for early diagnosis of diseases and then describe how to use mechanisms of AIE to improve the sensitivity of POC testing. This review gives a summary of the design mechanisms of AIE probes in AIE-based biosensors. Subsequently, it summarizes the design strategies of AIE-based POC sensors in the detection of ions, small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and whole entity (cells, bacteria, viruses, and exosomes), placing an emphasis on signal amplification. Finally, it gives an overview of AIE-based POC biosensors, including probes, instruments, and applications. We hope that this review will provide valuable guidance for further expanding the application of AIE luminogens in POC biosensors.

Abstract
Heteroleptic silver(I) complexes have recently started to attract attention in thin-film lighting technologies as an alternative to copper(I) analogues due to the lack of flattening distortion upon excitation. However, the interpretation of their photophysical behavior is challenging going from traditional fluorescence/phosphorescence to a temperature-dependent dual emission mechanism and ligand-lock assisted thermally activated delayed fluorescence. Herein, we unveil the photoluminescence behavior of a three-coordinated Ag(I) complex with the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) as the N^N ligand. In contrast to its low-emissive Cu(I) complex structural analogues, a strong greenish emission was attributed to the presence of aggregates formed by π-π intermolecular interactions as revealed by the X-ray structure and aggregation induced emission (AIE) studies in solution. In addition, the temperature-dependent time-resolved spectroscopic and computational studies demonstrated that the emission mechanism is related to a phosphorescence emission mechanism of two very close lying (ΔE = 0.08 eV) excited triplet states, exhibiting a similar delocalized nature over the bipyridine ligands. Unfortunately, this favourable AIE is lost upon forming homogeneous thin films suitable for lighting devices. Though the films showed very poor emission, the electrochemical stability under device operation conditions is remarkable compared to the prior-art, highlighting the potential of [Ag(NHC)(N^N)][X] complexes in thin-film lighting.

Abstract
The development of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-exhibiting compounds heavily relies on our evolving comprehension of their behavior at interfaces, an understanding that still remains notably limited. In this study, we explored the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) sensing films from 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline-based diazapolyoxa- and polyazamacrocycles displaying AIE via the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. This systematic investigation highlights the key role of the heteroatom-containing tether of 2,3-diphenylquinoxalines in the successful fabrication of Langmuir layers at the air-water interface and the transfer of AIE-emitting supramolecular aggregates onto solid supports. Using both diazapolyoxa- and polyazamacrocycles, we prepared AIE-exhibiting monolayer films containing emissive supramolecular aggregates on silica, mica, and quartz glass and characterized them using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies, atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging, and fluorescence microscopy. We also obtained multilayer AIE-emitting films through the LB technique, albeit with increased complexity. Remarkably, by employing the smallest macrocycle N2C3Q, we successfully prepared LB films suitable for the visual detection of acidic vapors. This sensing material, which contains a much lesser amount of organic dye compared with traditional drop-cast films, can be regenerated and utilized for real-life sample analysis, such as monitoring the presence of ammonia in the air and the freshness of meat.

Abstract
An unprecedented O-fused ring 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methyl-2,2,3-triphenylbenzofuran-6(2H)-one (3) was first time synthesized. Further, a series of novel dialkyl/fluoroalkyl derivatives of compound 3, 5,7-dialkoxy/fluoroalkoxy-4-methyl-2,2,3-triphenylbenzofuran-6(2H)-one, were obtained with noninvasive fluorescence switching characteristics and aggregation-induced emission properties. Compared with fluoroalkyl derivatives, the alkyl analogs exhibited a significant bathochromic shift in solid-state fluorescence emission. Notably, these noninvasive fluorescent molecular switches could be facilely tuned through light and heat stimulation, which successfully achieved high contrast and reversible fluorescent emission between orange and yellow endowing them with potential applications in data encryption materials. In addition, the single crystal data of compounds 3 and 7-CF3 displayed weak intermolecular interactions in different directions, resulting in twisted conformation and antiparallel slip stacking. Interestingly, the polymer dimethyl silicone film doped with 7-C3F7 also showed an evident light-responsive behavior, meeting the criterion for fluorescent materials in the optical field.

Abstract
Fluorescent materials find numerous applications in light-based devices, but their utilization is severely affected by concentration caused quenching of fluorescence, the extreme form of which is the total loss of fluorescence in the solid state. Introduction of bulky substituents remains the most frequently applied fluorescence revival strategy, but requires multi-step synthetic modifications. We have demonstrated a simple one step supramolecular gel-based strategy to preserve the fluorescence in the solid state.

Abstract
The access to bench-stable organometallic compounds unfolds new chemical space for medicinal and material sciences. In particular, stable organoruthenium compounds with constitutional and stereoisomeric forms for subtle regulation of electrochemiluminescence are intriguing and challenging. Here, coordination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on (2-phenylpyridine)2(CO)2Ru complex allows access to bis-polyaryl phenylpyridine (BPP) Ruthenium complex through C─H activation strategy and coupling reactions for installation of the functionalities with steric and electronic purposes. The photoluminescence and electrochemiluminescence of BPP Ru complexes are affected by the actual polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons inherent properties. The anthracene derivatized BPP Ru complex (BPP-Ant) shows the best ECL performance and reveals an enormous ECL quantum efficiency of 1.6-fold higher than the golden standard Ru(bpy)3 2+. The unprecedentedly high efficiency is due to the best compromise between the structural conjugation and molecular rigidity from BPP-Ant providing a providential energy gap that facilitated the feasibility of electron transfer and favored the radiative energy release by experimentally and DFT calculations. Moreover, PL and spooling ECL spectroscopies are used to track and link multiple emission peaks of BPP-Ant at 445, 645, and 845 nm to different emissive species. These discoveries will add a new member to the efficient ECL ruthenium complex family and bring more potentials.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has revolutionized solid-state fluorescence by overcoming the limitations of aggregation-caused quenching. While extensively studied in solutions, AIE's potential on solid surfaces remains largely unexplored, which can be fundamentally interesting and practically useful. In this work, we demonstrate the successful dispersion of tetraphenylethylene (TPE), one of the most classical AIE luminogens, on solid surfaces coated with silicone nanofilaments (SNF). The high surface area of SNF enables the uniform immobilization of TPE luminogens, replicating their dispersal behavior in solutions. Compared to unmodified surfaces, TPE dispersed on SNF-coated surfaces exhibits significantly enhanced fluorescence intensity. Moreover, a fascinating dynamic blue shift in TPE emission on SNF-coated surfaces is observed, with the velocity controllable by the surface group of SNF by up to 4 orders of magnitude, showing that TPE can be applied to the judgment of the nanoscale morphology and surface free energy of the solid surface. Owing to the superhydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties of SNF, the on-surface fluorescence can be sustained underwater and is resistant to dust contamination and rain erosion, with potential applications of information encryption presented. Our approach of uniformly dispersing AIE luminogens on nanomaterials with high surface areas provides a general methodology for creating on-surface fluorescence and saving the usage of expensive AIE luminogens in applications.

Abstract
A new chemodosimeter SWJT-31 with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect was designed and constructed. Upon increasing the water fraction in the solution, it exhibited typical AIE, which showed bright red fluorescence at 610 nm. SWJT-31 could sensitively and specifically recognize hydrazine by the TICT effect with an LOD of 33.8 nM, which was much lower than the standard of the USEPA. A portable test strip prepared using SWJT-31 was also developed for the visual detection of hydrazine. Eventually, it was successfully used for the detection of hydrazine in water samples and HeLa cells.

Abstract
Loss-of-function mutations in the homotrimeric serine protease HTRA1 cause cerebral vasculopathy. Here, we establish independent approaches to achieve the functional correction of trimer assembly defects. Focusing on the prototypical R274Q mutation, we identify an HTRA1 variant that promotes trimer formation thus restoring enzymatic activity in vitro. Genetic experiments in Htra1R274Q mice further demonstrate that expression of this protein-based corrector in trans is sufficient to stabilize HtrA1-R274Q and restore the proteomic signature of the brain vasculature. An alternative approach employs supramolecular chemical ligands that shift the monomer-trimer equilibrium towards proteolytically active trimers. Moreover, we identify a peptidic ligand that activates HTRA1 monomers. Our findings open perspectives for tailored protein repair strategies.

Abstract
Heavy metals cause serious toxic threats to both environment and human health. The multivariate, instrument-free, portable, and rapid detection strategy is crucial for determination of heavy metals. Herein, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) featured carbon dots (SN-CDs) were fabricated hydrothermally by optimizing co-doping precursors. With bright yellow emission at 560 nm, the SN-CDs were utilized for multivariate sensing Cu2+, Hg2+ and bovine serum albumin (BSA) based on AIE behavior and static quenching effect, with detection limits of 0.46 μmol·L-1, 25.8 nmol·L-1 and 1.52 μmol·L-1. A portable smartphone platform was constructed to enable portable, prompt, and sensitive analysis for Cu2+, Hg2+, and BSA via different strategies in real water and food samples with satisfied recovery. Moreover, a logic gate circuit was designed to provide the possibilities for utilization of intelligent facility. The proposed AIE SN-CDs possessing great contribution in preferable sensing performance, present promising prospects in real-time monitoring of environment and food safety.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs), including carbon quantum dots, graphene quantum dots, carbon nanodots, and polymer dots, have gained significant attention due to their unique structural and fluorescence characteristics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the classification, structural characteristics, and fluorescence properties of CDs, followed by an exploration of various fluorescence sensing mechanisms and their applications in gene detection, nucleolus imaging, and gene delivery. Furthermore, the functionalization of CDs with diverse surface ligand molecules, including dye molecules, nucleic acid probes, and metal derivatives, for sensitive nucleic acid detection is systematically examined. Fluorescence imaging of the cell nucleolus plays a vital role in examining intracellular processes and the dynamics of subcellular structures. By analyzing the mechanism of fluorescence and structure-function relationships inherent in CDs, the nucleolus targeting abilities of CDs in various cell lines have been discussed. Additionally, challenges such as the insufficient organelle specificity of CDs and the inconsistent mechanisms underlying nucleolus targeting have also been highlighted. The unique physical and chemical properties of CDs, particularly their strong affinity toward deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), have spurred interest in gene delivery applications. The use of nuclear-targeting peptides, polymers, and ligands in conjunction with CDs for improved gene delivery applications have been systematically reviewed. Through a comprehensive analysis, the review aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the potential and challenges associated with CDs in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is a vital target for anticancer therapy due to its sensitivity against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress that could lead to cell death. In this study, we designed a series of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based photosensitizers (TPAPyTZ, TPAPyTC, TPAPyTM, and TPAPyTI) carrying different ROS with selective GA-targeted ability. The in vitro study showed that TPAPyTZ and TPAPyTC displayed strong AIE characteristics, robust type-I/II ROS production capabilities, specific GA-targeted, high photostability, and high imaging quality. The cell-uptake of TPAPyTZ was found primarily through an energy-dependent caveolae/raft-mediated endocytosis pathway. Remarkably, TPAPyTZ induced GA-oxidative stress, leading to GA fragmentation, downregulation of GM130 expression, and activation of mitochondria caspase-related apoptosis during photodynamic therapy (PDT). In vivo experiments revealed that TPAPyTZ significantly inhibited tumor proliferation under lower-intensity white light irradiation with minimal side effects. Overall, our work presents a promising strategy for designing AIEgens for fluorescence imaging-guided PDT. Additionally, it enriched the collection of GA-targeted leads for the development of cancer theranostics capable of visualizing dynamic changes in the GA during cancer cell apoptosis, which could potentially enable early diagnosis applications in the future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: AIE luminogens (AIEgens) are potent phototheranostic agents that can exhibit strong fluorescence emission and enhance ROS production in the aggregate states. In this study, through the precise design of photosensitizers with four different electron-acceptors, we constructed a series of potent AIEgens (TPAPyTZ, TPAPyTC, TPAPyTM, and TPAPyTI) with strong fluorescence intensity and ROS generation capacity. Among them, TPAPyTZ with an extended π-conjugation displayed the strongest ROS generation ability and anti-tumor activity, resulting in an 88 % reduction in tumor weight. Our studies revealed that the enhanced activity of TPAPyTZ may be due to its unique Golgi apparatus (GA)-targeted ability, which causes GA oxidative stress followed by effective cancer cell apoptosis. This unique GA-targeted feature of TPAPyTZ remains rare in the reported AIEgens, which mainly target organelles such as lysosome, mitochondria, and cell membrane. The successful design of a GA-targeted and potent AIEgen could enrich the collection of GA-targeted luminogens, providing a lead theranostic for the further development of fluorescence imaging-guided PDT, and serving as a tool to explore the potential mechanism and discover new GA-specific drug targets.

Abstract
The properties of single molecules and molecular aggregates can differ dramatically, leading to a long-standing interest in mesoscale aggregation processes. Herein, a series of acid-base molecular complexes is developed by using a tetraphenylethylene-backboned fluorophore, and investigated the photophysical properties and photochemical activities at different aggregation length scales. This fluorophore, with two basic diethylamine groups and two acidic tetrazole groups, exhibits sparse solubility due to multivalent interactions that cause infinite aggregation. The addition of a third acid leads to the formation of fluorophore/acid complexes with good dispersibility and colloidal stability. This assembly process can be controlled by the use of different acids and their stoichiometry, resulting in aggregates ranging in size from a few to hundreds of nanometers. A crystalline structure is obtained to illustrate the complex properties of the acid-base network. Unlike the single molecule, these complexes show a trend of size-related properties for photoluminescence efficiency and photochemical activity. As the amount of acid added increases, the size of the complexes decreases, the aggregation effect of the complexes on fluorescence emission increases, and the rates of the oxidative photocyclization and photodecomposition slow down. This work may help to understand size-controlled molecular materials at the mesoscale for functional design.

Abstract
Two helical Schiff base compounds (H4TPA and H4TPE) containing a triphenylamine (TPA) or tetraphenylethylene (TPE) scaffold were successfully synthesized and characterized. Both H4TPA and H4TPE exhibited typical aggregation-induced emission characteristics in the mixed solvent of THF/H2O. The two compounds also showed high selectivity and sensitivity for the recognition of Cu2+ over other ions in THF/HEPES (1:4, V/V, pH = 7.4, 2.0 × 10-5 M), and could be used as turn-off fluorescent probes for Cu2+. The stoichiometric ratios and association constants were estimated via Job's plots and UV-vis spectra titration, and the detection limits of H4TPA and H4TPE toward Cu2+ were calculated to be 2.41 × 10-7 M and 1.38 × 10-7 M, respectively. Besides, the crystal structure of the complex obtained from the interaction of H4TPA with Cu2+ well illustrated the binding modes, which helped us understand the Cu2+ recognition mechanism of H4TPA and H4TPE. Moreover, the detection of Cu2+ and spiked recovery experiments were carried out, which indicated that the two probes can be applied to Cu2+ detection in real samples with satisfactory recoveries.

Abstract
Fluorescence sensing of latent fingerprints (LFPs) has gained extensive attention due to its high sensitivity, non-destructive testing, low biotoxicity, ease of operation, and the potential for in situ visualization. However, the realization of in situ visualization of LFPs especially with green emission and rapid speed is still a challenge. Herein, we synthesized an amphibious green-emission AIE-gen TPE-NI-AOH (PLQY = 62%) for instant in situ LFP detecting, which integrates the excellent fluorescence properties of naphthalimide (NI) with a hydrophilic head and the AIE character as well as the donating property of tetraphenylethene (TPE). TPE-NI-AOH in ethanol/water binary solvent was used as an environmentally friendly LFP developer and achieved in situ green-fluorescence visualization of LFPs. The fluorescence signal achieves its 60% saturated intensity in 0.37 s and nearly 100% in 2.50 s, which is an instant process for the naked eye. Moreover, level 3 details and super-resolution images of LFPs could be observed clearly. Besides, the TPE-NI-AOH developer could be stored for at least 6 months, suitable for long-term storage. This instant in situ highlighting method does not require post-processing operations, providing a more convenient, rapid, and efficient detection method of LFPs. This work would inspire the further advancement of fluorescent sensors for fingerprint imaging.

Photoluminescence Enhancement of 0D Organic-Inorganic Metal Halides via Aggregation-Induced Emission and Halide Substitution. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024:e2403788.

Abstract
0D organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) provide unprecedented versatility in structures and photoluminescence properties. Here, a series of bluish-white emissive 0D OIMHs, (TPE-TPP)2Sb2BrxCl8-x (x = 1.16 to 8), are prepared by assembling the 1-triphenylphosphonium-4-(1,2,2-triphenylethenyl)benzene cation (TPE-TPP)+ with antimony halides anions. Based on experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations, the emission of the 0D OIMHs are attributed to the fluorescence of the organic cations with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. The 0D structure minimized the molecular motion and intermolecular interactions between (TPE-TPP)+ cations, effectively suppressing the non-radiative recombination processes. Consequently, the photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) of (TPE-TPP)2Sb2Br1.16Cl6.84 is significantly enhanced to 55.4% as compared to the organic salt (TPE-TPP)Br (20.5%). The PLQE of (TPE-TPP)2Sb2BrxCl8-x can also be readily manipulated by halide substitution, due to the competitive processes between non-radiative recombination on the inorganic moiety and the energy transfer from inorganic to organic. In addition, electrically driven light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are fabricated based on (TPE-TPP)2Sb2Br1.16Cl6.84 emitter, which exhibited bluish-white emission with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 1.1% and luminance of 335 cd m-2. This is the first report of electrically driven LED based on 0D OIMH with bluish-white emission.

Abstract
Since the aggregation-based emission (AIE) phenomenon emerged in 2001, numerous chemical designs have been built around the AIE concept, displaying its utility for diverse applications, including optics, electronics, energy, and biosciences. The present review critically evaluates the broad applicability of AIEgen-based chemical models towards sensing small analytes and the structural design strategies adjusting the mode of action reported since the last decade. Various AIEgen models have been discussed, providing qualitative and quantitative estimation of cationic metal ions and anionic species, as well as biomolecular, cellular, and organelle-specific probes. A systematic overview of the reported structural design and the underlying working mode will pave the way for designing and developing the next generation of AIEgens for specific applications.

Abstract
Aggregation is a conventional method to enhance the quantum yields (QYs) of pure organic luminophores due to the restriction of intramolecular motions (RIM). However, how to realize RIM in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is still unclear and challenging. In this work, the ligand meta-anchoring strategy is first proposed and proved to be an effective and systematic approach to restrict the intramolecular motions of MOFs for the QY improvement. By simply shifting the substituent position in the ligand from para to meta, the QY of the resulting MOF is significantly enhanced by eleven-fold. The value is even higher than that of ligand aggregates, demonstrating the strong RIM effect of this ligand meta-anchoring strategy. The introduction of co-ligand induces the appearance of visible yellow room temperature phosphorescence with a lifetime of 222 ms due to the QY enhancement and the charge transfer between the donor and accepter units. The present work thus broadens the understanding of the RIM mechanism from a new perspective, develops a novel method to realize RIM and expands the applicable objects from pure organic materials to organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

Abstract
A new methodological design is proposed for carbon dots (CDs)-based crystallization-induced phosphorescence (CIP) materials via one-step self-assembled packaging controlled by NH4 +. O-phenylenediamine (o-PD) as a nitrogen/carbon source and the ammonium salts as oxidants are used to obtain CDs supramolecular crystals with a well-defined staircase-like morphology, pink fluorescence and ultralong green room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) (733.56 ms) that is the first highest value for CDs-based CIP materials using pure nitrogen/carbon source by one-step packaging. Wherein, NH4 + and o-PD-derived oxidative polymers are prerequisites for self-assembled crystallization so as to receive the ultralong RTP. Density functional theory calculation indicates that NH4 + tends to anchor to the dimer on the surface state of CDs and guides CDs to cross-arrange in an X-type stacking mode, leading to the spatially separated frontier orbitals and the through-space charge transfer (TSCT) excited state in turn. Such a self-assembled mode contributes to both the small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST) and the fast inter-system crossing (ISC) process that is directly related to ultralong RTP. This work not only proposes a new strategy to prepare CDs-based CIP materials in one step but also reveals the potential for the self-assembled behavior controlled by NH4 +.

Abstract
A new deep blue emissive organic fluorophore (N-cyclohexyl-N-(cyclohexylcarbamoyl)-4-(diphenylamino)benzamide (NCDPB)) was designed and synthesized, which showed strong fluorescence both in solution and solid-state. Solid-state structural analysis of NCDPB revealed non-planar twisted molecular conformation with extended hydrogen bonding between the amide functionalities. The propeller shaped triphenylamine (TPA) and non-planar cyclohexyl unit prevented close π…π stacking and produced strong deep blue emission in the solid state (λmax = 400 nm, quantum yield (Φf) = 12.6 %). NCDPB also exhibited strong solvent polarity dependent tunable emission in solution (λmax = 402-462 nm, Φf = 1.15 (compared to quinine sulphate)). NCDPB showed reversible fluorescence switching between two fluorescence states upon mechanical crushing and heating/solvent exposure. Mechanical crushing caused red shifting of fluorescence from 400 to 447 nm and heating/solvent exposure reversed the fluorescence. Further, NCDPB also displayed off-on reversible/self-reversible fluorescence switching upon exposure to trifluoracetic acid (TFA) and NH3. The repeated fluorescence switching cycles indicated high reversibility without any significant change of fluorescence intensity. The drastically different fluorescence of NCDPB in CH3OH and EtOH was utilized to distinguish them and monitor CH3OH contamination in ethanol and benzene. It showed limit of detection (LOD) of methanol up to 0.25 % and 7 % in benzene and ethanol, respectively. The water sensitive fluorescence modulation of NCDPB in organic solvents was used to sensing water contamination in common organic solvents. Thus, integration of twisted TPA with H-bonding urea produced dual state emitting organic fluorophore with multi-responsive fluorescence switching and solvent sensing.

Abstract
The commonly employed strategies for engineering second near-infrared (NIR-II) organic phototheranostic agents are based on expanding conjugated backbone length, strengthening donor (D)-acceptor (A) effect, or forming J-aggregates. We constructed the D-A-D' structure by incorporating strong electron-donating methoxy and tetraphenylethene (TPE) moieties on the electron-deficient Aza-BODIPY core, and simultaneously expanded the π-conjugation effect by introducing thiophene groups, to obtain a dye BDP-TPE. Next, the nanoparticles P-TPE were prepared via the assembly of BDP-TPE with amphiphilic polypeptides (mPEG2000-P(Asp)10), and successfully constructed the J-aggregates. The obtained P-TPE exhibited strong absorption and fluorescence with maxima at 808 and 1018 nm, respectively, with a conspicuous absolute quantum yield of 0.241 %. Moreover, P-TPE also showed excellent biocompatibility, and high photothermal conversion efficiency of 61.15 %, and excellent resistance to pH, long-term storage, and photobleaching. In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that P-TPE exhibited good biocompatibility and effectively achieved NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT with complete tumor ablation under 808 nm laser irradiation. These results provided good evidence for the use of P-TPE as a NIR-II fluorescence imaging-guided PTT therapeutic agent in vivo.

Abstract
The importance of halogen bonds (XBs) in the regulation of material properties through a variation in the electrostatic potential of the halogen atom is not attracted much attention. Herein, this study utilizes in situ single crystal X-ray diffraction and synchrotron-based X-ray techniques to investigate the cooling-triggered irreversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation of the DMF solvated iodo-substituted squaraine dye (SQD-I). Transformation is observed to be mediated by solvent-involved XB formation and strengthening of electrostatic interaction between adjacent SQD-I molecules. By immersing a DMF solvate in acetonitrile a solvent exchange without loss of long-range ordering is observed. This is attributed to conservation of the molecular charge distribution of SQD-I molecules during the process. The different solvates can be used in combination for temperature-dependent image encryption. This work emphasizes the changes caused by XB formation to the electrostatic potentials of halogen containing molecules and their influence on material properties and presents the potential utility of XBs in the design of soft-porous crystals and luminescent materials.

Abstract
Targeted cancer treatment should avoid side effects and damage to healthy cells commonly encountered during traditional chemotherapy. By combining small molecule or peptidic ligands as homing devices with cytotoxic drugs connected by a cleavable or non-cleavable linker in peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) or small molecule-drug conjugates (SMDCs), cancer cells and tumours can be selectively targeted. The development of highly affine, selective peptides and small molecules in recent years has allowed PDCs and SMDCs to increasingly compete with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Integrins represent an excellent target for conjugates because they are overexpressed by most cancer cells and because of the broad knowledge about native binding partners as well as the multitude of small-molecule and peptidic ligands that have been developed over the last 30 years. In particular, integrin αVβ3 has been addressed using a variety of different PDCs and SMDCs over the last two decades, following various strategies. This review summarises and describes integrin-addressing PDCs and SMDCs while highlighting points of great interest.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a great interest in the study of photocatalysts (PCs) and photosensitizers (PSs) in the field of organic photocatalysis. In the present study, a pure organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule 4,4'-(12-(pyridin-4-yl)dibenzo[f,h]pyrido[2,3-b]quinoxaline-3,6-diyl)bis(N,N-diphenylaniline) (DPQ-TPA) was designed and synthesized, which not only have excellent TADF property and small energy splitting (ΔEST), but also can self-assembly in water to form cross-linked nanoparticles with exceptional aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. DPQ-TPA exhibits excellent remarkable selectivity and notably enhances the production capacity of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly 1O2, which was employed as a highly effective photocatalyst in the photooxidation reaction of phosphine and hydroazobenzenes under blue light irradiation with high yields up to 94% and 91%, respectively. This work expands the potential application of (donor-acceptor) D-A type AIE-TADF molecules in photocatalytic organic transformations through supramolecular self-assembly.

Abstract
The design and development of organic solid-state luminescent materials stand as crucial pillars within the realm of contemporary photofunctional materials. Overcoming challenges such as concentration quenching and achieving tailored luminescent properties necessitates a judicious approach to molecular structure design and the strategic utilization of diverse stimuli to modulate molecular packing patterns. Among the myriad candidates, α-cyanodiarylethenes (CAEs) emerge with distinctive solid-state luminescent attributes, capable of forming self-assembled packing structures with varying degrees of π-π stacking. This characteristic endows them with potential in the field of intelligent molecular responsive materials and optoelectronic devices. This tutorial review embarks on an exploration of design strategies geared towards attaining tunable solid-state emission through customized packing of CAEs. It explores the utilization of stimuli responses, including such as mechanical forces, light irradiation, solvent interactions, thermal influences, as well as the utilization of co-assembly methodologies. The overarching aim of this review is to provide a widely applicable platform fostering the flourishing development of modern organic photofunctional materials through integrating principles of molecular engineering, organic optoelectronics, and materials science.

Abstract
To enhance the phototheranostic performance, agents with high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, good tumor-targeting ability, and prolonged retention are urgently needed. However, symmetric donor-acceptor (D-A) type agents usually produce spherical nanoaggregates, leading to good tumor targeting but inferior retention. Rod-like nanoaggregates are desired to extend their retention in tumors; however, this remains a challenge. In particular, agents with dynamically changeable shapes that integrate merits of different morphologies are seldomly reported. Therefore, self-assembled organic nanoaggregates with smart shape tunability are designed here using an asymmetric D-A type TIBT. The photoluminescence quantum yield in solids is up to 52.24% for TIBT. TIBT also exhibits high ROS generation in corresponding nanoaggregates (TIBT-NCs). Moreover, dynamic self-assembly in shape changing from nanospheres to nanorods occurrs in TIBT-NCs, contributing to the enhancement of ROS quantum yield from 0.55 to 0.72. In addition, dynamic self-assembly can be observed for both in vitro and in vivo, conferring TIBT-NCs with strong tumor targeting and prolonged retention. Finally, efficient photodynamic therapy to inhibit tumor growth is achieved in TIBT-NCs, with an inhibition rate of 90%. This work demonstrates that asymmetric D-A type agents can play significant roles in forming self-assembled organic nanoaggregates, thus showing great potential in long-acting cancer therapy.

Abstract
Self-assembly provides access to non-covalently synthesized supramolecular materials with distinct properties from a single building block. However, dynamic switching between functional states still remains challenging, but holds enormous potential in material chemistry to design smart materials. Herein, we demonstrate a chemical fuel-mediated strategy to dynamically switch between two distinctly emissive aggregates, originating from the self-assembly of a naphthalimide-appended peptide building block. A molecularly dissolved building block shows very weak blue emission, whereas, in the assembled state (Agg-1), it shows cyan emission through π stacking-mediated excimer emission. The addition of a chemical fuel, ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide (EDC), converts the terminal aspartic acid present in the building block to an intra-molecularly cyclized anhydride in situ forming a second aggregated state, Agg-2, by changing the molecular packing, thereby transforming the emission to strong blue. Interestingly, the anhydride gets hydrolyzed gradually to reform Agg-1 and the initial cyan emission is restored. The kinetic stability of the strong blue emissive aggregate, Agg-2, can be regulated by the added concentration of the chemical fuel. Moreover, we expand the scope of this system within an agarose gel matrix, which allows us to gain spatiotemporal control over the properties, thereby producing a self-erasable writing system where the chemical fuel acts as the ink.

Abstract
Designing luminophores bright in both isolate species and aggregate states is of great importance in many emerging cutting-edge applications. However, the conventional luminophores either emit in isolate species but quench in aggregate state or emit in aggregate state but darken in isolate species. Here we demonstrate that the precise regulation of noncovalent interactions can realize luminophores bright in both isolate species and aggregate states. It is firstly discovered that the intra-cluster interaction enhances the emission of atomically precise Au25(pMBA)18 (pMBA=4-mercaptobenzoic acid), a nanoscale luminophore, while the inter-cluster interaction quenches the emission. The emission enhancing strategies are then well-designed by both introducing exogenous substances to block inter-cluster interaction and surface manipulation of Au25(pMBA)18 at the molecular level to enhance intra-cluster interaction, opening new possibilities to controllably enhance the luminophore's photoluminescence in both isolate species and aggregate states in different phases including aqueous solution, solid state and organic solvents.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a temporally and spatially precisely controllable, noninvasive, and potentially highly efficient method of phototherapy. The three components of PDT primarily include photosensitizers, oxygen, and light. PDT employs specific wavelengths of light to active photosensitizers at the tumor site, generating reactive oxygen species that are fatal to tumor cells. Nevertheless, traditional photosensitizers have disadvantages such as poor water solubility, severe oxygen-dependency, and low targetability, and the light is difficult to penetrate the deep tumor tissue, which remains the toughest task in the application of PDT in the clinic. Here, we systematically summarize the development and the molecular mechanisms of photosensitizers, and the challenges of PDT in tumor management, highlighting the advantages of nanocarriers-based PDT against cancer. The development of third generation photosensitizers has opened up new horizons in PDT, and the cooperation between nanocarriers and PDT has attained satisfactory achievements. Finally, the clinical studies of PDT are discussed. Overall, we present an overview and our perspective of PDT in the field of tumor management, and we believe this work will provide a new insight into tumor-based PDT.

Abstract
In this study, a series of tetraphenylethene-containing gold(I) complexes with different auxiliary ligands have been synthesized. These complexes were characterized using a variety of techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Their aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behaviors were investigated through ultraviolet/visible and photoluminescence spectrum analyses, and dynamic light scattering measurements. Meanwhile, their mechanofluorochromic properties were also studied via solid-state photoluminescence spectroscopy. Intriguingly, all these mononuclear gold(I) molecules functionalized by tetraphenylethene group demonstrated AIE phenomena. Furthermore, five gold(I) complexes possessing diverse auxiliary ligands exhibited distinct fluorescence changes in response to mechanical grinding. For luminogens 2-5, their solids showed reversible mechanofluorochromic behaviors triggered by the mutual transformation of crystalline and amorphous states, while for luminogen 1, blue-green-cyan three-color solid fluorescence conversion was realized by sequential mechanical grinding and solvent fumigation. Based on this stimuli-responsive tricolored fluorescence feature of 1, an information encryption system was successfully constructed.

Enhancing corannulene chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence and photoluminescence by means of an azabora-helicene to slow down its bowl inversion. Chem Sci 2024; 15:9657-9668. [PMID: 38939143 PMCID: PMC11206500 DOI: 10.1039/d4sc01524j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Aromatic system extension of corannulene (Cor) is a synthetic challenge to access non-planar polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Herein, we report the design and synthesis of azaborahelicene corannulene 1 through hybridization of an azabora[5] helical structure and subsequent luminescence studies. Significant enhancement in chemiluminescence (CL), electroluminescence (ECL) and photoluminescence (PL) is achieved compared to those of pristine Cor. Specifically, hybrid 1 shows a notable augmentation in absolute luminescence quantum efficiencies: 25-fold for CL, up to 23-fold for ECL with BPO as a coreactant, and 30-fold for PL, respectively, compared to those of pristine Cor. Intriguingly, the blue light emission observed in all three luminescence types suggests the presence of a single excited state. As revealed by variable-temperature (VT) 1H NMR experiments, the bowl inversion frequency apparently decelerates by the steric effect of the helix motif in 1, which could contribute to the enhanced luminescent properties by reducing excited energy losses non-radiatively through fewer molecular motions; these enhanced luminescence observations could be categorized alongside the aggregation induced emission (AIE) and crystallization-induced emission (CIE) phenomena. This work not only provides fundamental insights into improved luminescence quantum efficiencies via strategic modulation of the molecular structure and geometry, but the work also reveals Cor's inherent potential to build efficient blue-light emitting materials and devices.
