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-induced emission (AIE) polymers with expected emission wavelength/color and fluorescence efficiency are valuable in applications. However, most AIE polymers exhibit irregular emission wavelength/color changes compared to the original AIE monomers. Here, we report the synthesis of AIE polymers with unchanged emission wavelength by ring-opening (co)polymerizations of 4-(triphenylethenyl)phenoxymethyloxirane (TPEO) and other epoxides or phthalic anhydride. The chemical structures/physical properties of all (co)polymers were characterized by NMR, SEC, MALDI-TOF, and DSC. The co-polyether microstructures were revealed by calculating the reactivity ratios and visualized by Monte Carlo simulation. The photoluminescence quantum yields of all the (co)polymers were determined in the solid state. We systematically correlated the fluorescence performance with molecular weights, crystallinity, monomer compositions, glass transition temperatures, side lengths, and flexibility/rigidity.

Abstract
As a proof-of-concept study, Imi-cage and Phos-cage organic molecular cages (OMCs) containing the triphenylphosphine (TPP) moiety, a nonclassic AIE luminogen (AIEgen), have been designed to demonstrate the cage-confinement induced emission enhancement (CCIEE). Thanks to the confinement effect of OMCs, the rigid Imi-cage exhibits much higher photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (ΦPL) than the open-shell Semicage and small molecule TPP in both solution and amorphous solid states. The emission of Phos-cage could be further enhanced in crystalline solid state with a remarkably high ΦPL of 97.6% (vs 3.47% of crystalline TPP) benefiting from AIE enabled by the highly ordered molecular packing. The novel strategy of CCIEE via confining an AIEgen into an OMC to achieve a significant emission enhancement will shed light on the development of solid-state highly fluorescent materials. The fluorescent nature of Imi-cage was further exploited for the ultrahighly sensitive detection of the explosive picric acid.

Abstract
In last twenty years, the significant development of AIE materials has been witnessed. A number of small molecules, polymers and composites with AIE activity have been synthesized, with some of these exhibiting great potential in optoelectronics and biomedical applications. Compared to AIE small molecules, macromolecular systems-especially well-defined AIE polymers-have been studied relatively less. Controlled polymerization methods provide the efficient synthesis of well-defined AIE polymers with varied monomers, tunable chain lengths and narrow dispersity. In particular, the preparation of single-fluorophore polymers through AIE molecule-initiated polymerization enables the systematic investigation of the structure-property relationships of AIE polymeric systems. Here, the main polymerization techniques involved in these polymers are summarized and the key parameters that affect their photophysical properties are analyzed. The author endeavored to collect meaningful information from the descriptions of AIE polymer systems in the literature, to find connections by comparing different representative examples, and hopes eventually to provide a set of general guidelines for AIE polymer design, along with personal perspectives on the direction of future research.

Abstract
A dibenzo[b,j][1,10]phenanthroline (DBPhen) scaffold as a novel colorimetric Cu2+ sensor was proposed and prepared in this study. The optical properties of DBPhen were measured utilizing UV light, UV-VIS spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The findings denote that DBPhen exhibited a particular selectivity and great sensitivity to Cu2+ compared with other metal ions. The addition of Cu2+ in the DBPhen solution induced the color change from yellow to purple, and a new peak in the visible range (~545 nm) was observed. The detection limit of Cu2+ in the aqueous solution was calculated to be as low as 0.14 μM. Besides, the color change of the DBPhen/Cu2+ complex could be reversibly restored by adding CN−. Therefore, DBPhen could have a prospective implementation as a practical colorimetric sensor to detect Cu2+ ions in environmental fields.

Abstract
Control over the photochemical outcome of photochromic molecules in solution represents a major challenge, as photoexcitation often leads to multiple competing photochemical and/or supramolecular pathways resulting in complex product mixtures. Herein, we demonstrate precise and efficient control over the photochemical behaviour of cyanostilbenes in solution using a straightforward solvent-controlled approach based on supramolecular polymerization. To this end, we designed a π-extended cyanostilbene bolaamphiphile that exhibits tuneable solvent-dependent photochemical behaviour. Photoirradiation of the system in a monomeric state (in organic solvents) exclusively leads to a highly reversible and efficient E/Z photoisomerization, whereas a nearly quantitative [2 + 2] photocycloaddition into a single cyclobutane (anti head-to-tail) occurs in aqueous solutions. These results can be rationalized by a highly regular and preorganized antiparallel J-type arrangement of the cyanostilbene units that is driven by aqueous supramolecular polymerization. The presented concept demonstrates a novel approach towards solvent-selective and environmentally friendly photochemical transformations, which is expected to broaden the scope of supramolecular polymerization.

Abstract
Two novel α-cyanostilbene derivatives bearing triphenylamine and BF2 groups are synthesized (named TPE-B and TPE-BN). The fluorescent emissions of compounds TPE-B and TPE-BN are hypochromatically shifted and bathochromically shifted, respectively, with increasing polarity of the solvents, suggesting that the two compounds have characteristic polarity-dependent solvatochromic effects. Furthermore, they show obvious aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) phenomenon in THF/water mixture solutions. Meanwhile, compounds TPE-B and TPE-BN emit orange and yellow fluorescence in their solid states, respectively. Most significantly, in aqueous medium, compounds TPE-B and TPE-BN can selectively and sensitively detect picric acid (PA) among a number of nitroaromatic compounds, and their limits of detection (LOD) are calculated as 1.26 × 10−6 M and 1.51 × 10−6 M, respectively. The recognition mechanism for PA can be attributed to the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) process and this is supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. This research provides two novel compounds for the rational design of AIEE-active materials for sensing systems. Two α-cyanostilbene derivatives bearing triphenylamine and BF2 groups exhibit AIEE properties and can detect explosive picric acid in aqueous medium.![]()

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active polymer prodrug nanoparticles were readily prepared by growing short, well-defined polymer chains from an AIE dye by nitroxide-mediated polymerization, followed by co-nanoprecipitation of the resulting conjugates with similarly constructed anticancer polymer prodrugs. The nanoparticles had sharp fluorescence signal offering excellent imaging ability in living cells and their intra cellular localization to be accurately monitored.

Abstract
In the specific context of condensed media, the significant and increasing recent interest in the α-cyanostilbene (CS) motif [ArCHC(CN)Ar] is relevant. These compounds have shown remarkable optical features in addition to interesting electrical properties, and hence they are recognized as very suitable and versatile options for the development of functional materials. This progress report is focused on current and future use of CS structures and molecular assemblies with the aim of exploring and developing for the next generations of functional materials. A critical selection of illustrative materials that contain the CS motif, including relevant subfamilies such as the dicyanodistyrylbenzene and 2,3,3-triphenylacrylonitrile shows how, driven by the self-assembly of CS blocks, a variety of properties, effects, and possibilities for practical applications can be offered to the scientific community, through different rational routes for the elaboration of advanced materials. A survey is provided on the research efforts directed toward promoting the self-assembly of the solid state (polycrystalline solids, thin films, and single crystals), liquid crystals, nanostructures, and gels with multistimuli responsiveness, and applications for sensors, organic light-emitting diodes, organic field effect transistors, organic lasers, solar cells, or bioimaging purposes.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FNPs) have been extensively explored for fluorescence "turn-on" bio-imaging applications with the unique advantages over conventional FNPs. Transformation of AIE-active molecules into FNPs can greatly expand their biomedical application potential. Here we reported a novel "one-pot" strategy for fabricating AIE-active FNPs through an ultrasonic-assisted, catalysts-free and solvent-free Kabachnik-Fields (KF) reaction for the first time. The KF reaction can be completed within 10min to generate AIE-active PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs through mixing polyethylenimine and aldehyde group containing AIE dyes and diethyl phosphate. These PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence spectroscopy etc. The cell uptake behavior as well as cell viability of PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs was examined to evaluate their potential for biomedical application. We demonstrated that the amphiphilic α-aminophosphonate polymers could self-assemble into PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs in aqueous solution and showed excellent water dispersibility. TEM image shows the size of PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs is 100-200nm. More importantly, the PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs emit strong green fluorescence and desirable biocompatibility, making them very suitable for biomedical applications. Finally, thus smart FNPs design together with their excellent performance will open a new avenue in the development of FNPs for following biological processes such as carcinogenesis.

Dineshkumar S, Muthusamy A. Investigation of aggregation induced emission in 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde azine and polyazine towards application in (opto) electronics: synthesis, characterization, photophysical and electrical properties. Des Monomers Polym 2016; 20:234-249. [PMID: 29491796 PMCID: PMC5812189 DOI: 10.1080/15685551.2016.1231039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2016] [Accepted: 08/29/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
An azine monomer 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde azine was synthesized by refluxing with ethanolic solution of vanillin with hydrazine hydrate. It was then converted into polyazine by oxidative polymerization. The structure of azine and polyazine was characterized by FT-IR, UV–visible, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Spectral results suggest the formation of polymer, through C–C and C–O–C coupling of the phenylene and oxyphenylene. The relationship between the structures and photophysical properties of azine and polyazine was studied. Both azine and polyazine show, aggregation induced emission with increase in concentration in DMSO solution. The single crystal structure of azine suggesting the various inter and intra molecular interactions rigidify the conformation and locked the intramolecular rotations of the phenyl rings in the molecule. The inhibition of intramolecular rotation, J- aggregation and increase of conjugation impart the fluorescence in aggregated state. Additionally, the electronic properties namely orbital energies and resulting energy gap calculated theoretically by density functional theory (DFT).
