Abstract
Water, although an important part of everyday life, is acts as one of the most significant contaminants in various applications such as biomedical monitoring, chemical production, petroleum-based fuel and food processing. In fact, the presence of water in other solvents is a huge concern. For the quantification of trace water content, different methods such as Karl-Fischer, electrochemical, nuclear magnetic resonance, chromatography, and thermogravimetric analysis have been used. Although every technique has its own benefit, each one suffers from several drawbacks that include high detection costs, lengthy procedures and specialized operations. Nowadays, the development of fluorescence-based chemical probes has become an exciting area of research for the quick and accurate estimation of water content in organic solvents. A variety of chemical processes such as hydrolysis reaction, metal ions promoted oxidation reaction, suppression of the -C═N isomerization, protonation and deprotonation reactions, and molecular aggregation have been well researched in the last few years for the fluorescent detection of trace water. These chemical processes eventually lead to different photophysical events such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE), aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE), aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET), charge transfer, photo-induced electron transfer (PET), excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) that are responsible for the detection. This review presents a summary of the fluorescence-based chemosensors reported in recent years. The design of water sensors, sensing mechanisms and their potential applications are reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Chromophores that exhibit aggregation-induced emission (i.e., aggregation-induced emission luminogens [AIEgens]) emit intense fluorescence in their aggregated states, but show negligible emission as discrete molecular species in solution due to the changes in restriction and freedom of intramolecular motions. As solvent-swollen quasi-solids with both a compact phase and a free space, gels enable manipulation of intramolecular motions. Thus, AIE-active gels have attracted significant interest owing to their various distinctive properties and promising application potential. Herein, a comprehensive overview of AIE-active gels is provided. The fabrication strategies employed are detailed, and the applications of AIEgens are summarized. In addition, the gel functions arising from the AIE moieties are revealed, along with their structure-property relationships. Furthermore, the applications of AIE-active gels in diverse areas are illustrated. Finally, ongoing challenges and potential means to address them are discussed, along with future perspectives on AIE-active gels, with the overall aim of inspiring research on novel materials and ideas.

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
Materials that have higher fluorescence emission in the solid state than molecules in solution have recently been paid more attention by the scientific community due to their potential applications in various fields. In this work, we newly synthesized benzoxazolyl-imidazole and benzothiazolyl-imidazole conjugates, which show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features in their solid and aggregate states. It was found that oxygen and sulfur substitutions can dramatically influence the molecular structures and polarities of the dyes, leading to different degrees of the AIE phenomenon. The benzothiazolyl-imidazole molecule has lower polarity compared to that of benzoxazolyl-imidazole; therefore, the dye bearing a benzothiazolyl group shows higher emission intensity and dual emission in aqueous solution. Theoretical calculation results suggest that the benzothiazolyl-imidazole molecules might have electrostatic interactions between sulfur and nitrogen atoms, explaining the experimental observations of lower critical aggregation concentration and photophysical properties both in solution and in the solid state. The theoretical calculations agree with the experimental data, thus demonstrating a potent strategy to gain a deep understanding of the structure–property relationships to design solid-state fluorescent materials. The effect of heteroatoms on the structural and photophysical properties of donor-π-acceptor molecules, comprising imidazole and benzoxazolyl as well as imidazole and benzothiazolyl units, was investigated.![]()

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed rapid developments in aggregation-induced emission (AIE). In contrast to traditional aggregation, which causes luminescence quenching (ACQ), AIE is a reverse phenomenon that allows robust luminescence to be retained in aggregated and solid states. This makes it possible to fabricate various highly efficient luminescent materials, which opens new paradigms in a number of fields, such as imaging, sensing, medical therapy, light harvesting, light-emitting devices, and organic electronic devices. Of the various important features of AIE molecules, their self-assembly behavior is very attractive because the formation of a well-defined emissive nanostructure may lead to advanced applications in diverse fields. However, due to the nonplanar topology of AIEgens, it is not easy for them to self-assemble into well-defined structures. To date, some strategies have been proposed to achieve the self-assembly of AIEgens. Herein, we summarize the most recent approaches for the self-assembly of AIE molecules. These approaches can be sorted into two classes: 1) covalent molecular design and 2) noncovalent supramolecular interactions. We hope this will inspire more excellent work in the field of AIE.

Abstract
A series of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescent gelators (TPE-Cn -Chol) were synthesized by attaching tetraphenylethylene (TPE) to cholesterol through an alkyl chain. The properties of the gel, nano-/microaggregate, and condensed phases were studied carefully. TPE-Cn -Chol molecules form AIE fluorescent gels in acetone and in DMF. Their fluorescence can be reversibly switched between the "on" and "off" states by a gel-sol phase transition upon thermal treatment. The AIE properties of aggregated nano-/microstructures in acetone/water mixtures with different water fractions were studied by using fluorescence spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In different acetone/water mixtures, the TPE-Cn -Chol molecules formed different nano-/microaggregates, such as rodlike crystallites and spherical nanoparticles that showed different fluorescence colors. Finally, the condensed phase behavior of TPE-Cn -Chol was studied by using polarizing microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fluorescence spectrometry, fluorescence optical microscopy, and wide-angle X ray scattering (WAXS). The clover-shaped TPE unit introduced into the rodlike cholesterol mesogen inhibits not only the formation of a liquid-crystal phase but also recrystallization upon cooling from the isotropic liquid phase. Very interestingly, TPE-Cn -Chol molecules in the condensed state change their fluorescence color under external stimuli, such as melting, grinding, and solvent fuming. The phase transition is the origin of these thermo-, mechano-, and vapochromic properties. These findings offer a simple and interesting platform for the creation of multistimuli-responsive fluorescent sensors.

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
A luminescent liquid crystal molecule (TPEMes) with efficient solid-state emission is rationally constructed via the chemical conjugation of blue-emitting tetraphenylethene cores and luminescent mesogenic tolane moieties, which are both featured with aggregation-induced emission properties. As for this fluorophore, aggregation-induced energy transfer from the emissive tolane mesogens to the lighting-up tetraphenylethene units endows the molecule pure blue emission in the suspension and bulk state. Combining differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscope, and one-dimensional X-ray diffraction (1D XRD) experiments, the compound TPEMes is deduced to adapt thermodynamically more stable layered crystalline phase and can be "frozen" into a monotropic smectic mesophase due to kinetic reasons. As a result of more dense packing of TPEMes in the crystalline phase indicated by 1D XRD, the luminescence of TPEMes in crystalline phase blue-shifted by 17 nm relative to the metastable mesophase.

Abstract
The study of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of a series of 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives in aqueous media is reported herein. Some of these molecules constitute the first examples of 1,8-naphthalimide-containing amino acid derivatives that form hydrogels with excellent photophysical and mechanical properties. The present study provides further insights for the rational design of water-compatible stimuli-responsive photonic materials presenting AIE. AIE was quantitatively evaluated by measuring the fluorescence quantum yields of the molecules. Gelators 1 and 2 exhibit self-assembled fibrillar morphologies and present the best performance regarding the AIE effect, showing a remarkable enhancement in fluorescence intensity of 4700% and reaching a notable fluorescence quantum yield (Φf) of 30%. Non-gelator molecules 6 and 7 form nanoparticles, which also present AIE, but with emissions corresponding to their excimers. Therefore, the AIE intensity and wavelength are regulated by the type of aggregate morphology: fibers, nanoparticles or soluble species.

Abstract
A series of platinum(II) terpyridine complexes with tetraphenylethylene-modified alkynyl ligands has been designed and synthesized. The introduction of the tetraphenylethylene motif has led to aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, which upon self-assembly led to the formation of metal-metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MMLCT) behavior stabilized by Pt···Pt and/or π-π interactions. Tuning the steric bulk or hydrophilicity through molecular engineering of the platinum(II) complexes has been found to alter their spectroscopic properties and result in interesting superstructures (including nanorods, nanospheres, nanowires, and nanoleaves) in the self-assembly process. The eye-catching color and emission changes upon varying the solvent compositions may have potential applications in chemosensing materials for the detection of microenvironment changes. Furthermore, the importance of the directional Pt···Pt and/or π-π interactions on the construction of distinctive superstructures has also been examined by UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. This work represents the interplay of both inter- and intramolecular interactions as well as the energies of the two different chromophoric/luminophoric systems that may open up a new route for the development of platinum(II)-AIE hybrids as functional materials.

Abstract
Fluorescent supramolecular polymeric materials are rising stars in the field of fluorescent materials not only because of the inherent optoelectronic properties originating from their chromophores, but also due to the fascinating stimuli-responsiveness and reversibility coming from their noncovalent connections. Especially, these noncovalent connections influence the fluorescence properties of the chromophores because their state of aggregation and energy transfer can be regulated by the assembly-disassembly process. Considering these unique properties, fluorescent supramolecular polymeric materials have facilitated the evolution of new materials useful for applications in fluorescent sensors, probes, as imaging agents in biological systems, light-emitting diodes, and organic electronic devices. In this Review, fluorescent supramolecular polymeric materials are classified depending on the types of main driving forces for supramolecular polymerization, including multiple hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, π-π stacking interactions, metal-coordination, van der Waals interactions and host-guest interactions. Through the summary of the studies about fluorescent supramolecular polymeric materials, the status quo of this research field is assessed. Based on existing challenges, directions for the future development of this field are furnished.

Abstract
By introducing chiral leucine pendants to silole scaffold, leucine-containing silole (Silole-Leu) is synthesized and it is endowed with not only aggregation-induced emission and circular dichroism, but excellent chiral polarized luminescence as well. Silole-Leu also has the capacity to self-assemble into nano/micro helical luminescent fibers and the dimension of the fibers can be tuned by adjusting the ratio and volume of mixed solvents for evaporation as revealed by atomic force microscope, scanning electron microscope, and fluorescence microscope. The characteristic helicity of microfibers is directly visualized for the first time by using fluorescence microscope.

Abstract
Propeller-shaped molecules have been recognized to display fantastic AIE (aggregation induced emission), but they can hardly self-assemble into nanostructures. Herein, we for the first time report that ionic complexation between a water-soluble tetrapheneyl derivative and an enzyme substrate in aqueous media produces a propeller-shaped supra-amphiphile that self-assembles into enzyme responsive fluorescent vesicles. The supra-amphiphile was fabricated upon complexation between a water-soluble propeller-shaped AIE luminogen TPE-BPA and myristoylcholine chloride (MChCl) in aqueous media. MChCl filled in the intramolecular voids of propeller-shaped TPE-BPA upon supra-amphiphile formation, which endows the supra-amphiphile superior self-assembling ability to the component molecules thus leading to the formation of fluorescent vesicles. Because MChCl is the substrate of cholinesterases, the vesicles dissemble in the presence of cholinesterases, and the fluorescent intensity can be correlated to the level of enzymes. The resulting fluorescent vesicles may be used to recognize the site of Alzheimer's disease, to encapsulate the enzyme inhibitor, and to release the inhibitor at the disease site.

Abstract
Two AIE-active chiral BINOL-based O-BODIPY enantiomers (R/S-5) were synthesized and showed mirror-image red-color CPL induced via intramolecular energy transfer. The chiroptical properties of the molecules indicate that the chirality of electronic ground and excited states is stable and independent of aggregation.

Abstract
A series of quinoxaline-fused [7]carbohelicenes (HeQu derivatives) was designed and synthesized to evaluate their structural and photophysical properties in the crystal state. The quinoxaline units were expected to enhance the light-emitting properties and to control the packing structures in the crystal. The electrochemical and spectroscopic properties and excited-state dynamics of these compounds were investigated in detail. The first oxidation potentials of HeQu derivatives are approximately the same as that of unsubstituted reference [7]carbohelicene (Heli), whereas their first reduction potentials are shifted to the positive by about 0.7 V. The steady-state absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectra also became redshifted compared to those of Heli. The molecular orbitals and energy levels of the HOMO and LUMO states, calculated by DFT methods, support these trends. Moreover, the absolute fluorescence quantum yields of HeQu derivatives are about four times larger than that of Heli. The structural properties of the aggregated states were analyzed by single-crystal analysis. Introduction of appropriate substituents (i.e., 4-methoxyphenyl) in the HeQu unit enabled the construction of one-dimensional helical columns of racemic HeQu derivatives in the crystal state. Helix formation is based on intracolumn π-stacking between two neighboring [7]carbohelicenes and intercolumn CH⋅⋅⋅N interaction between a nitrogen atom of a quinoxaline unit and a hydrogen atom of a helicene unit. The time-resolved fluorescence spectra of single crystals clearly showed an excimerlike delocalized excited state owing to the short distance between neighboring [7]carbohelicene units.

Abstract
Fluorescent organic hybrid nanosheets were generated by crystallization of polymers capped with luminogenic molecules exhibiting aggregation-induced emission characteristics (AIE). During crystallization of polymers, AIE molecules were expelled out of lamellar crystals of polymers, and finally resided on the surface. The fluorescent nanosheets with dangling AIE molecules showed sensitive and specific response to explosives. Such polymer crystallization-induced fluorescent nanomaterials offers a unique avenue to fabricate functional nanomaterials with AIE molecule-enriched domains for potential applications in nanodevices, biological engineering, and so on.

Abstract
Facile tuning of photophysical properties is highly desirable for boosting the performance and versatility of photoluminescent materials. In an attempt to overcome the challenge of achieving the photoswitching of multicolor luminescence on unimolecular platforms, we here report a novel hierarchical self-assembly of a cyanostilbene-naphthalimide dyad as the realization of phototunable luminescence at the unimolecular level. The work takes advantage of the photoisomerization of the cyanostilbene moiety from the Z form to its E form, which causes a morphological disorder in the molecular self-assembly and gives rise to a dual fluorescent characteristic accompanied by a progressive luminescent color conversion from yellow to green and finally to blue. Such systems with convertible multicolor luminescence might exhibit application potentials for unimolecular selective imaging and labeling, as exemplified by the cell imaging studies presented in this work.

Abstract
Pentacenequinone derivative 3 forms luminescent supramolecular aggregates both in bulk as well as in solution phase. In bulk phase at high temperature, long-range stacking of columns leads to formation of stable and ordered columnar mesophase. Further, derivative 3 works as sensitive chemosensor for picric acid (PA) and gel-coated paper strips detect PA at nanomolar level and provide a simple, portable, and low-cost method for detection of PA in aqueous solution, vapor phase, and in contact mode.

Abstract
The preparation and physico-chemical characteristics of zinc(II) porphyrin and phthalocyanine derivatives with biphenyl units are reported. These compounds have been prepared as components for molecular electronics systems and rotor-based molecular machines, where the biphenyl units can act as paddles because they are oriented quasi-perpendicularly to the plane of the aromatic macrocycles which would be coordianted through the transition metal ion by an axial ligand. The minimalist design along with the absence of solubilizing groups leads to a low solubility of the compounds in organic solvents; the phthalocyanines is only sparingly soluble while the porphyrin is more easily manipulated, but in any case the concentration of both compounds is sufficient for surface deposition. The luminescence of the compounds is characteristic of the central unit, although it is clear in the absorption spectra that the phthalocyanine derivative has a particularly strong tendency to aggregate non-specifically. The porphyrin forms microcrystals while the phthalocyanines which bears eight biphenyl units forms amorphous aggregates from 1,2-dichlorobenzene reminiscent of glasses of other biphenyl derivatives, which is interesting for the preparation of amorphous materials for optics applications.
