Abstract
Of all chemical warfare agents (CWAs), only nerve and blood agents cause massive mortality at low concentrations. To better detect and discriminate nerve and blood agents, a reliable detection method is desirable. We report a series of fluorescent probes for nerve and blood agent detection. Among the tested probes, SR-Pip detected nerve and blood agents quickly (within 10 s for nerve agents and 1 min for blood agents). SR-Pip coupled with nerve agent produced a weak orange fluorescence with good sensitivity [limit of detection (LOD)= 5.5 μM]. Upon reaction with blood agent, the fluorescence of SR-Pip changed from orange fluorescence to blue fluorescence with detection limits as low as 9.6 nM. This probe effectively visualised different concentrations of nerve agents in living cells and mice. A portable test kit using SR-Pip instantly detected nerve and blood agents. To the best of our knowledge, SR-Pip is the first fluorescent probe for nerve and blood agent detection.

Abstract
Water is a fundamental element for life. The highly selective and sensitive sensing of water is always attractive for mankind in activities such as physiological processes study and extraterrestrial life exploration. Fluorescent MOFs with precise channels and functional groups might specifically recognize water molecules with hydrogen-bond interaction or coordination effects and work as water sensors. As a proof of concept, herein, an amino functionalized Zn-MOF (named as complex 1) with pores that just right for water molecules to form hydrogen bond bridges is revealed for highly selective and sensitive fluorescent sensing of water. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the 3D framework of complex 1 is functionalized with free amino groups in the channels. Hydrogen bonds formed in the channel along b-axis as water bridges to connect two adjacent NH2bdc ligands and result in the restriction of intramolecular motions (RIM) which could responsible for the selective turn-on fluorescence response to water. Complex 1 exhibits high sensitive to trace amount of water in organic solvents and could be used for water detection in a wide range water contents. Take advantages of complex 1, portable sensors (complex 1@PMMA) were prepared and used in the highly sensitive water sensing.

Abstract
High-resolution spatio-temporal monitoring of the cell membrane lipid order provides visual insights into the complex and sophisticated systems that control cellular physiological functions. Solvatochromic fluorescent probes are highly promising noninvasive visualization tools for identifying the ordering of the microenvironment of plasma membrane microdomains. However, conventional probes, although capable of structural analysis, lack the necessary long-term photostability required for live imaging at the cellular level. Here, an ultra-high-light-resistant solvatochromic fluorescence probe, 2-N,N-diethylamino-7-(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)-9,9-dimethylfluorene (FπCM) is reported, which enables live lipid order imaging of cell division. This probe and its derivatives exhibit sufficient fluorescence wavelengths, brightness, polarity responsiveness, low phototoxicity, and remarkable photostability under physiological conditions compared to conventional solvatochromic probes. Therefore, these probes have the potential to overcome the limitations of fluorescence microscopy, particularly those associated with photobleaching. FπCM probes can serve as valuable tools for elucidating mechanisms of cellular processes at the bio-membrane level.

Abstract
The manuscript presents the synthesis of a new di-chromene Schiff base (COM-CH) by combining 7-(diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide and 4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carbaldehyde, and its characterization using various analytical techniques. The probe COM-CH functional group contains a hard donor atom that selectively complexes with Th4+ ions. This report investigated COM-CH's sensing ability towards Th4+ chromogenic and fluorogenic methods in ACN: H2O (8:2, v/v) with Th4+ ions. The COM-CH-Th4+ complex was excited at 430 nm, resulting in a bright emission band at 475 nm with a 45 nm Stokes shift. The COM-CH probe demonstrated the highest performance at pH 4.0 to 8.0, with a sensitivity of 18.7 nM. The complex formation of COM-CH with Th4+ was investigated using NMR, FTIR spectrometry, and density functional theory calculations. The COM-CH and Th4+ are bound with 2:1 stoichiometry and an association constant of 1.92 × 108 M-2. The probe's performance enabled the analysis of monazite sand and water samples for Th4+ content. The probe successfully detected Th4+ content in Caenorhabditis elegans, marking the first Th4+ detection in animal models.

Abstract
The emission features of a novel bioactive compound, 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-diiodophenyl-methylideneamino)guanidine is found impressive with aggregation induced emission enhancement. The nitrogen and iodine rich multidentate proligand was characterized physicochemically. SCXRD and Hirshfeld surface investigation have revealed the presence of significant triangular iodine bonding apart from hydrogen bonding, weak C-H⋯π and π⋯π intermolecular interactions. These interactions collectively contribute to the solid-state packing arrangement of the molecules within the crystal lattice. The band gap of the compound was estimated experimentally and is supported with theoretical calculations. The solid-state fluorescence quantum yield of Φ = 0.36 emphasizes the utility of the proligand and the AIEE characteristics is attributed to restricted intramolecular motions as indicated by fluorescence lifetime decay studies. Strong interaction of the compound with calf thymus DNA was explored experimentally and found to align with in silico docking results. Notably, in vitro anticancer assessment on MCF-7 breast cancer cells show an IC50 value of 181.05 μg mL-1 and signifying its potent cytotoxic properties. Also, the compound is found to have lesser cytotoxicity against L929 normal cell line with an IC50 value of 356.54 μg mL-1. Computational studies further underscore the exceptional binding affinity with active sites in the SARS-CoV-2 main protease 3CLpro, surpassing established repurposed drugs. Furthermore, the proligand demonstrates excellent putative affinity towards the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein, accompanied by its distinctive AIEE attributes, drug likeness and DNA binding capability rendering it a valuable tool for prospective research investigations.

Abstract
The π-bond enrichment frameworks not only serve as a crucial building block in organic synthesis but also assume a pivotal role in the fields of materials science, biomedicine, photochemistry, and other related disciplines owing to their distinctive structural characteristics. The incorporation of various substituents into the C═C double bonds of tetrasubstituted alkenes is currently a highly significant research area. However, the synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenes with diverse substituents on double bonds poses a significant challenge in achieving stereoselectivity. Here, we reported an efficient and convergent route of Cu-catalyzed borylalkynylation of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,3-diynes, B2pin2, and acetylene bromide to the construction of boronated phenyldiethynylethylene (BPDEE) derivatives with excellent chemo-, stereo-, and regioselectivities. BPDEE derivatives could transform into novel tetrasubstituted organic π-conjugated gem-diphenyldiethynylethylene (DPDEE), vinylphenyldiethynylethylene (VPDEE), and phenyltriethynylethylene (PTEE) derivatives by a stepwise process, which provides a flexible platform for the synthesis of complex π-bond enrichment frameworks that were difficult to synthesize by previous methods. The initial optical characterization revealed that the synthesized molecules exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, which further establishes the groundwork for future applications and enriches and advances the field of functional π-conjugated frameworks research.

Abstract
In this work, a novel organic receptor, CPI [(E)-3-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acrylonitrile], was rationally designed and successfully fabricated for selective and sole recognition of CN- ions over other competitive anions through an obvious chromogenic and ratiometric emission change in DMSO. The distinct and prominent color change upon the addition of CN- can be attributed to the typical ICT process, which is induced by the deprotonation of acidic NH protons in the imidazole moiety. The sensor displayed strong solvatochromic effects in commonly used organic solvents such as n-hexane, toluene, diethyl ether, DCM, THF, DMF and DMSO. The chemical structure of the sensor was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. Significantly, the probe can function as a fluorescence-based sensor for the efficient detection of low-level water in organic solvents. The solid-state emission properties of CPI were successfully applied to recognise cyanide in a solid-state platform with naked eye-visualized distinct color change. The probe can be made reusable by adding TFA into the CN- treated probe solution. The detection limit of CPI towards CN- was determined to be 4.48 × 10-8 M. More importantly, the sensor is capable of detecting CN- in food samples and has been employed for wastewater treatment. Besides, easy-to-prepare CPI-coated test strips provide a simple, reusable and easy-to-handle protocol for the qualitative identification of CN- conveniently. Finally, density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory were performed to verify the experimental outcomes theoretically.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal organization of proteins within the cell membrane can affect numerous biological functions, including cell signaling, communication, and transportation. Deviations from normal spatial arrangements have been observed in various diseases, and a better understanding of this process is a key stepping stone to advancing development of clinical interventions. However, given the nanometer length scales involved, detecting these subtle changes has primarily relied on complex super-resolution and single-molecule imaging methods. In this work, we demonstrate an alternative fluorescent imaging strategy for detecting protein organization based on a material that exhibits a unique photophysical behavior known as aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Organic AIE molecules have an increase in emission signal when they are in close proximity, and the molecular motion is restricted. This property simultaneously addresses the high background noise and low detection signal that limit conventional widefield fluorescent imaging. To demonstrate the potential of this approach, the fluorescent molecule sensor is conjugated to a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-specific antibody and used to investigate the spatiotemporal behavior of HER2 clustering in the membrane of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells. Notably, the disruption of HER2 clusters in response to an FDA-approved monoclonal antibody therapeutic (Trastuzumab) is successfully detected using a simple widefield fluorescent microscope. While the sensor demonstrated here is optimized for sensing HER2 clustering, it is an easily adaptable platform. Moreover, given the compatibility with widefield imaging, the system has the potential to be used with high-throughput imaging techniques, accelerating investigations into membrane protein spatiotemporal organization.

Abstract
A simple naphthalimide fluorophore NAP-H2O was designed and synthesized. Basic photophysical properties were investigated, especially found that the probe showed robust green fluorescence in water compared with that in various organic solvents, and the specific mechanism was conformed to be the aggregation induced emission (AIE) through dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, solid-state luminescence and fluorescence imaging. Accordingly, the capability of NAP-H2O for water sensing was examined, and good linear relationships between fluorescence intensities at the green emission band and the water content were obtained, enabling quantitative detection of water in organic solvents. The detection limits were calculated to be 0.004 % (v/v) in ACN, 0.117 % (v/v) in 1,4-dioxane, 0.028 % (v/v) in THF, 0.022 % (v/v) in DMF and 0.146 % (v/v) in DMSO, respectively. In addition, the probe presented fast response time within 5 s to water and good photostability. Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied for fast and naked-eye detection of water in organic solvents via test papers. This work provides a rapid, sensitive and naked-eye method for trace amount detection of water in organic solvents and has potential for practical applications.

Abstract
In the design of effective gelators with aggregation-induced emission behavior, amide and cholesterol moieties are generally used to provide multiple driving forces for gelation. In this work, a series of linear cyanostilbene gelators with a pyridine moiety and different lengths of the alkoxyl group, i.e., CSpy-Cn, have been synthesized through nucleophilic substitution and Knoevenagel reaction. The direct connection of pyridine extends the conjugation of the cyanostilbene moiety, while the alkoxyl group can regulate the solubility of the compounds so that the compounds can serve as gelators for common solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethanol at ultra-low concentrations. At the same time, the cyanostilbene group makes the compounds undergo photoisomerization and emit fluorescence under UV light, while the pyridine group can serve as an acid-base responsive group due to easy protonation. The gels can respond to temperature, light, and organic acid/base. The fluorescence intensity and color can reversibly change during the gel-sol transitions. Finally, a thin film based on the CSpy-C8 xerogel has been prepared and utilized as a multi-stimuli-responsive fluorescence display for information storage and anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Detection abilities on tested subjects of sensors should be closely connected to the sensing unit numbers. Herein, two anion sensors ICZ-o-1S and ICZ-o-2S were synthesized by using indolo (2,3-a) carbazoles as fluorescent chromophore and salicylaldehyde as recognition site. Though UV-Vis and fluorescent ways, it demonstrated that F- can induce the sensor solutions becoming colored from colorless to yellow green, and can endow them with bright green turn-on fluorescence, proving their sensitive and selective sensing on F-. Accordingly, the F ion sensing studies including anti-interference abilities against to other anions on fluorescence response, stoichiometric ratios of sensor-F- in 1 : 1 and 1 : 2, -OH deprotonation sensing mechanism confirmed by 1H NMR titration and theoretical calculation were fully covered. Most importantly, fluoride ion detection limits achieved by ICZ-o-1S and ICZ-o-2S were 1.8 × 10-7 M and 6.0 × 10-8 M, respectively, the latter with two sensing units exhibited 3 times lower detection limit outcompeted to the former with only one sensing unit, rendering the sensor design strategy of improving detecting ability by increasing sensing unit number was rational. The practical application of F- detection in water-containing environment calibrated from the standard curve between the fluorescence intensity of sensor-F- system and the changing F- concentration was conducted. In addition, the accuracy of the sensor on detecting F- was evaluated by the spiked recovery experiment, therefore, the fast and convenient F- concentration detection based on the fluorescence color RGB values of the tested sensor-sample mixture was investigated. Consequently, the results obtained by these two sensors should deliver effective supports on designing high-performance sensors featuring naked-eye and fluorescence turn-on anion sensing by altering the response unit numbers.

Fluorescent Probes Based on AIEgen-Mediated Polyelectrolyte Assemblies for Manipulating Intramolecular Motion and Magnetic Relaxivity. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202218983.

Abstract
Uniting photothermal therapy (PTT) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds great potential in nanotheranostics. However, the extensively utilized hydrophobicity-driven assembling strategy not only restricts the intramolecular motion-induced PTT, but also blocks the interactions between MR agents and water. Herein, we report an aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen)-mediated polyelectrolyte nanoassemblies (APN) strategy, which bestows a unique "soft" inner microenvironment with good water permeability. Femtosecond transient spectra verify that APN well activates intramolecular motion from the twisted intramolecular charge transfer process. This de novo APN strategy uniting synergistically three factors (rotational motion, local motion, and hydration number) brings out high MR relaxivity. For the first time, APN strategy has successfully modulated both intramolecular motion and magnetic relaxivity, achieving fluorescence lifetime imaging of tumor spheroids and spatio-temporal MRI-guided high-efficient PTT.

Abstract
The detection of key ions in environmental samples has garnered significant attention in recent years in the pursuit of a cleaner environment for living organisms. Bifunctional and multifunctional sensors, as opposed to single-species sensors, have emerged as a rapidly developing field. Many reports in the literature have documented the use of bifunctional sensors for the subsequent detection of metal and cyanide ions. These sensors, consisting of simple organic ligands, form coordination compounds with transition metal ions, resulting in clear visible or fluorescent changes that facilitate detection. In some cases, a single polymeric material can act as a ligand and coordinate with metal ions, forming a complex that serves as a sensor for cyanide ion detection in biological and environmental samples through various mechanisms. Nitrogen is the most dominant coordinating site in these bifunctional sensors, with the sensitivity of the sensors being directly proportional to the denticities of ligands for metal ions, while for cyanide ions the sensitivity was found independent of the denticity of the ligands. This review covers the progress made in the field over the past fifteen years (2007-2022), with most ligands detecting copper (II) and cyanide ions, but with the capability to detect other metals such as iron, mercury, and cobalt as well.

Abstract
Manipulations of singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) generations by the integration of both aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) photosensitizer and photochromic moieties have diversified features in photodynamic therapy applications. Through Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pathway to induce red PL emissions (at 595 nm) for 1 O2 productions, [1]rotaxane containing photosensitive tetraphenylethylene (TPE) donor and photochromic diarylethene (DAE) acceptor is introduced to achieve dual and sequential locked/unlocked photoswitching effects by pH-controlled shuttling of its contracted/extended forms. Interestingly, the UV-enabled DAE ring closure speeds follow the reversed trend of DAE self-constraint degree as: contracted < extended < noninterlocked forms in [1]rotaxane analogues, thus FRET processes can be adjusted in contracted/extended forms of [1]rotaxane upon UV irradiations. Accordingly, the contracted form of [1]rotaxane is FRET-OFF locked and inert to UV exposure due to the larger bending conformation of DAE parallel (p-)conformer, compared with its extended and noninterlocked analogues possessing switchable FRET-OFF/ON behaviors activated by dual and sequential pH- and photoswitching. Owing to the advantages of 1 O2 productions tuned by multistimuli inputs (pH, UV, and blue light), an useful logic circuit for toxicity outputs of the surface modified [1]rotaxane nanoparticles (NPs) has been demonstrated to offer promising 1 O2 productions and managements based on mechanically interlocked molecules for future bioapplications.

Abstract
Using bis(imino)acenaphthene (BIAN) zinc(II) and palladium(II) complexes with tetraphenylethene (TPE) units as bulky aryl groups, Zn-2 and Pd-2 have been designed and developed, and their photophysical properties in solution and in the solid state have been investigated. Both in solution and in the solid state Zn-2 and Pd-2 show two photoabsorption bands in the ranges of 300 nm to 350 nm and 450 nm to 600 nm, which are assigned to the π-π* transition originating from both the TPE units and naphthalene units and the intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) between the TPE units and the BIAN unit, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that for Zn-2 the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) are localized on the TPE units, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) are localized on the BIAN unit, leading to the appearance of a photoabsorption band on the ILCT. The emission from Zn-2 was quenched in solution, but appeared as phosphorescence at around 600 nm by photoexcitation at the ILCT band in the solid state as well as in the aggregated state, which was formed by the addition of n-hexane as a poor solvent to the dichloromethane (DCM) solution. The aggregate formation of Zn-2 in the DCM/n-hexane (10 wt%/90 wt%) solution was confirmed by the Tyndall scattering and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements, demonstrating the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics of Zn-2. On the other hand, Pd-2 was non-emissive in the solid state and in the aggregated state as well as in solution. Moreover, the DCM-inclusion complexes of Zn-2 and Pd-2 were obtained and their photophysical properties were investigated. It was found that the photoluminescence quantum yield (ΦPL-solid) values of Zn-2 and Zn-2-DCM in the solid state are less than 1%. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of Zn-2-DCM revealed the absence of intermolecular π-π interactions. Consequently, it was suggested that the low ΦPL-solid value of Zn-2 is mainly due to the radiationless relaxation of the excitons by dynamic rotation of the phenyl groups of the TPE units, even in the solid state and in the aggregation state.

Abstract
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are toxic chemicals that have been intentionally developed for targeted and deadly use on humans. Although intended for military targets, the use of CWAs more often than not results in mass civilian casualties. To prevent further atrocities from occurring during conflicts, a global ban was implemented through the chemical weapons convention, with the aim of eliminating the development, stockpiling, and use of CWAs. Unfortunately, because of their relatively low cost, ease of manufacture and effectiveness on mass populations, CWAs still exist in today's world. CWAs have been used in several recent terrorist-related incidents and conflicts (e.g., Syria). Therefore, they continue to remain serious threats to public health and safety and to global peace and stability. Analytical methods that can accurately detect CWAs are essential to global security measures and for forensic analysis. Small molecule fluorescent probes have emerged as attractive chemical tools for CWA detection, due to their simplicity, ease of use, excellent selectivity and high sensitivity, as well as their ability to be translated into handheld devices. This includes the ability to non-invasively image CWA distribution within living systems (in vitro and in vivo) to permit in-depth evaluation of their biological interactions and allow potential identification of therapeutic countermeasures. In this review, we provide an overview of the various reported fluorescent probes that have been designed for the detection of CWAs. The mechanism for CWA detection, change in optical output and application for each fluorescent probe are described in detail. The limitations and challenges of currently developed fluorescent probes are discussed providing insight into the future development of this research area. We hope the information provided in this review will give readers a clear understanding of how to design a fluorescent probe for the detection of a specific CWA. We anticipate that this will advance our security systems and provide new tools for environmental and toxicology monitoring.

Abstract
Recently, two trace water detection probes, 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone(HQCT) and 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (pyridine-2-carbonyl)-hydrazine(HQPH) have been successfully designed in the experiment. The original intramolecular proton transfer can be prevented by the water molecules, leading to fluorescence quenching. In order to investigate the fluorescence quenching mechanism, the effect of water molecules on the excited state proton transfer process will be studied in detail. In this contribution, the six models have been optimized and the related analysis have been carried out. When water molecules are involved in the proton transfer process, the energy barrier decreases significantly and the conversion of the enol structure to the keto structure is accelerated. Moreover, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, not participating in the proton transfer process, can facilitate the proton transfer process by affecting the distribution of the electrostatic potential within the molecule, which in turn lowers the energy barrier for proton transfer.

Abstract
Herein, we report two novel multidentate luminogen proligands bis(3,5-diiodosalicylidene) carbohydrazone (H4L1) and bis(3,5-diiodosalicylidene) thiocarbohydrazone (H4L2), which are suitable candidates for biomedical applications. Though the thiocarbohydrazone H4L2 shows aggregation caused quenching (ACQ), the carbohydrazone H4L1 exhibits stronger fluorescence due to aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE). Molecular docking studies of H4L1 and H4L2 along with four similar (thio)carbohydrazones with the active sites of SARS-CoV-2 main protease 3CLpro reveals that the thiocarbohydrazones, in general, are showing better propensity compared to their oxygen analogues. Both the thiocarbohydrazones and the carbohydrazones, however, exhibit better binding potential at the active sites than that of some of the repurposed drugs such as chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir, ritonavir, darunavir and remdesivir. Also, the carbohydrazone H4L1 can be a better bioprobe compared to H4L2 as the former is found to have better binding potential with SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein along with AIEE feature.

Abstract
The study of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) shows promising perspectives explored in lighting, optical sensors, and biological therapies. Due to their unique feature of intense emissions in aggregated solid states, it smoothly circumvents the weaknesses in fluorescent dyes, which include aggregation-caused quenching of emission and poor photobleaching character. However, our present knowledge of the AIE phenomena still cannot comprehensively explain the mechanism behind the substantially enhanced emission in their aggregated solid states. Herein, to systematically study the mechanism, the typical AIEgens tetraphenylethene (TPE) was chosen, to elucidate its photophysical properties, the TPE in THF/H2O binary solvents, TPE in THF solvents depending on concentration, and the following direct conversion from a dissolved state to a precipitated solid state were analyzed. Moreover, the TPE derivatives were also investigated to supply more evidence to better decipher the generally optical behaviors of TPE and its derivatives. For instance, the TPE derivative was homogeneously dispersed into tetraethyl orthosilicate to monitor the variance of photophysical properties during sol–gel processing. Consequently, TPE and its derivatives are hypothesized to abide by the anti-Kasha rule in dissolved states. In addition, the factors primarily influencing the nonlinear emission shifting of TPE and its derivatives are also discussed.

Abstract
Rational modification of molecular structure by incorporating electron donating groups can play a potential role for designing aggregation induced emission (AIE) active fluorescent probes. Based on this principle, fluorescent probes (1a–c) were synthesized, and they displayed excellent aggregation induced emission (AIE) behavior in a H2O/DMF (4 : 1, v/v) mixture due to restrictions in intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). As a comparison, probe 1d was synthesized by installing an electron withdrawing (–NO2) group that surprisingly quenched the aggregation behaviour. Additionally, AIE active probes 1a–c displayed a highly sensitive dual channel (fluorometric and colorimetric) response towards rapid detection of CN−, which is an active toxic material. Probes 1a–c showed selectively enhanced fluorescence emission behavior towards CN− with detection limits of 1.34 ppb, 1.38 ppb, and 1.54 ppb, respectively. The sensing mechanism involves Michael type adduct formation due to the nucleophilic addition reaction of cyanide with probes and was confirmed through 1H NMR titration experiments. In contrast, probe 1d containing an electron withdrawing moiety showed insensitivity towards CN−. Therefore, this study provides the efficient strategy to induce AIE character in fluorescent probes and expands the mechanistic approach toward the sensing of toxic CN−. Rational modification of molecular structure by incorporating electron donating groups can play a potential role for designing aggregation induced emission (AIE) active fluorescent probes.![]()

Abstract
A novel D-π-A type fluorescent probe (probe 1) was developed for water content detection in organic solvents. By analyzing the relationship between fluorescence and water content, the probe was successfully applied to determine trace water content in tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, 2-butanone, acetone, dimethylformamide, and acetonitrile. High water content in THF and ethyl acetate was associated with a gradual colour change from yellowish green to earthy yellow. The red/green value had a linear relationship with the water content in THF and ethyl acetate. There was a linear relationship between the red/blue value and water content in 2-butanone and acetone. Furthermore, probe 1 could be used for human serum albumin detection. Unexpectedly, probe 1 had a different colour response in deuterated and nondeuterated solvents, and had different fluorescence intensity and fluorescence emission wavelength. Probe 1 is rare tool that can distinguish between deuterated and nondeuterated reagents.

Abstract
The development of efficient sensors for detecting water content in organic solvents is highly desirable for various cases in the chemical industry. Relevant sensors based on luminescent materials are promising due to their superior sensitivity and visualization. However, reported luminescent probes are either aggregation-caused quenching-type molecules, which present an emission quenching effect in high water content, or aggregation induced emission-type luminogens, which exhibit weak emission in organic solvents. This factor narrows the targeted water-content sensing range. Herein, we developed a series of indoline-based donor-acceptor-donor luminogens involving twist intramolecular charge transfer and an aggregation-induced emission effect, which exhibited a unique "on-off-on" emission behavior in tetrahydrofuran with the continuous increase of water content from 0% to 99%. Simultaneously, the emission wavelength underwent a process of first red-shift and then blue-shift. Three-dimensional working curves based upon the log value of wavelength and emission intensity ratio versus water content in tetrahydrofuran were established with two-stage characteristics, aiming to visually detect a wide range of water content in organic solvents. Such a sensing method offers extra sensitivity, convenience, and accuracy.

Abstract
Two fluorescent D-A-D styryl-benzothiadiazole fluorophores possessing either styryl-BTD-styryl (2) or aryl-BTD-styryl (4) architectures have been synthesized using Heck reactions as key step. Compounds presented absorption in blue region and emission ranging from 531 to 560 nm with positive solvatochromism. Lippert Mattaga plots indicated a substantial effect of solvent polarity over the emission profile. As the fluorescence of the compound 4 was more sensitive to changes in the environment, this compound was evaluated as a probe to chemosensing etanol/water percentage in hydroalcoholic solutions. Good linearity was observed between fluorescence intensity and ethanol content in the range from 40% to 90%. Analyses of commercial solutions of sanitizers and cleaning products (% ethanol = 46%, 70% and 92%) indicate that reference values are within the confidence interval of experimental results produced by the proposed method.

Abstract
Triarylborane (Ar3B) and triarylamine (Ar3N) have been widely employed to construct electronically different donor-acceptor (D-A) systems. Herein, we describe a series of A-D-A-type luminescent organoboranes L-B2Nn (n = 1, 3, 5) that show an increased number of Ar3N units as electron donors and two terminal Ar3B as acceptors. When the Ar3N moieties were extended from one to five units, their electron-donating strength was gradually enhanced and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gaps could also be tuned, which was further reflected in the red-shifted emissions from blue (λem = 458 nm) to orange (λem = 595 nm) with a decrease in Egap(elect) from 3.19 to 2.61 eV. L-B2N5 showed a huge Stokes shift (∼14 057 cm-1) and a considerably bright emission with an enhanced solid-state quantum efficiency (ΦS = 98%) compared with the other members. L-B2N3 and L-B2N5 exhibited aggregation-induced emissions (AIEs), and an apparent solvatochromic shift was also observed in the emission spectra as the solvent was changed from hexane to tetrahydrofuran (THF) (430 → 595 nm). In addition, the donor-acceptor charge-transfer character in these organoboranes caused a thermally responsive emission over a broad range.

Abstract
Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors that are applicable in biofluids (urine, blood, and saliva). Particularly, the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions is highly desirable due to a lack of suitable biosensors. In addition, the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms by optical probes and chemosensors is becoming increasingly important in molecular biology and medicine. Thus, new perspectives for personalized diagnostics, theranostics, and biochemical/medical research will be unlocked when standing limitations of artificial binders and receptors are overcome. In this review, we survey synthetic sensing systems that have promising (future) application potential for the detection of small molecules, cations, and anions in aqueous media and biofluids. Special attention was given to sensing systems that provide a readily measurable optical signal through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or nanoparticles featuring plasmonic effects. This review shall also enable the reader to evaluate the current performance of molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors in terms of sensitivity and selectivity with respect to practical requirement, and thereby inspiring new ideas for the development of further advanced systems.

Abstract
A general synthetic approach to molecular structures that are hybrids of tetraethynylethylene (TEE) and tetravinylethylene (TVE) is reported. The synthesis permits the controlled preparation of many previously inaccessible structures, including examples with different substituents on each of the four branching arms. Most substituted TVE-TEE hybrids are found to be significantly more robust compounds than their unsubstituted counterparts, enhancing the prospects of their deployment in conducting materials and devices. Their participation in pericyclic reaction cascades, leading to sp3-rich polycycles, is demonstrated. The utilization of TEE-TVE hybrids as building blocks for larger acyclic, through/cross-conjugated hydrocarbon frameworks is also established. Aryl-substituted TEEs, TVEs, and their hybrids are fluorescent, with some exhibiting aggregation-induced emission enhancement. The structural requirements are defined and explained, setting the scene for applications as fluorescent probes and organic light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
As fluorescent materials for visualization, detection, and quantification of a trace amount of water, we have designed and developed a PET (photo-induced electron transfer)-type fluorescent monomer SM-2 composed of methyl methacrylate-substituted anthracene fluorophore-(aminomethyl)-4-cyanophenylboronic acid pinacol ester (AminoMeCNPhenylBPin) and achieved preparation of a copolymer poly(SM-2-co-MMA) composed of SM-2 and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Both SM-2 and poly(SM-2-co-MMA) exhibited enhancement of the fluorescence emission with the increase in water content in various solvents (less polar, polar, protic, and aprotic solvents) due to the formation of the PET inactive (fluorescent) species SM-2a and poly(SM-2-co-MMA)a, respectively, by the interaction with water molecules. The detection limit (DL) of poly(SM-2-co-MMA) for water in the low water content region below 1.0 wt% in acetonitrile was 0.066 wt%, indicating that poly(SM-2-co-MMA) can act as a PET-type fluorescent polymeric sensor for a trace amount of water in solvents, although it was inferior to that (0.009 wt%) of SM-2. It was found that spin-coated poly(SM-2-co-MMA) films as well as 15 wt% SM-2-doped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films produced a satisfactory reversible fluorescence off–on switching between the PET active state under a drying process and the PET inactive state upon exposure to moisture, which is demonstrated by the fact that the both the films are similar in hydrophilicity to each other from the measurement of the water contact angles on the polymer film surface. Herein we propose that PET-type fluorescent polymer films based on a fluorescence enhancement system are one of the most promising and convenient functional dye materials for visualizing moisture and water droplets. Photo-induced electron transfer (PET)-type fluorescent polymer films based on a fluorescence enhancement system have been prepared as one of the most promising and convenient functional dye materials for visualizing moisture and water droplets.![]()

Abstract
The development of small organic CPL-active molecules with large luminescent dissymmetry factors is highly demanded due to their promising applications in chiroptical devices and sensors. This work describes the design and synthesis of a new family of CPL-active BF2 complexes, (Rp)/(Sp)-3a-3e, which were constructed by fusing a N̂O-chelated BF2 complex with [2.2]paracyclophane. These complexes display aggregation-amplified CPL with moderate dissymmetry factors values and moderate quantum yields both in solution and in the solid state. In addition, these photophysical properties were rationalized via X-ray diffraction and TD-DFT calculations.

Abstract
In this study, we reported the covalent post-synthetic modification (PSM) of a luminescent complex to achieve aggregation-induced emission (AIE), prepared using the Schiff base reaction of TPE-CHO and HLC-NH2, denoted by HLC-NH2-TPE. HLC-NH2 formed a 2D luminescent complex which was constructed using 4,4'-diamino-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid and zinc ions via a solvothermal reaction. HLC-NH2-TPE inherited the luminescence properties of HLC-NH2 and exhibited noticeable AIE properties in response to environmental viscosities and temperature changes. Interestingly, HLC-NH2-TPE displayed a time-dependent luminescence conversion phenomenon in a mixed solution of DMF/H2O (v : v/1 : 9).

Abstract
Since the aggregation induced emission (AIE) phenomenon was reported, many research groups have used this unique AIE effect to develop chemo- or bio-sensors for detecting ions, gases, explosives, proteins, and enzymes. Most of these sensors work in their aggregate state, therefore, fluorescence stability has become one of the important problem, and unfortunately, as far as we know, there is no paper to discuss what factors can improve the fluorescence stability of AIE compounds in the aggregate state, if the fluorescence stability of the sensors are poor, there will seriously affect the detection result. In this article, we found that compounds with hydrophobic long alkyl substituents can maintain stable fluorescence intensity for a long time in the aggregate state. In addition, cyclohexane is introduced as a hydrophobic substituent. Therefore, the fluorescence stability of the aggregates also increased by 90% within 1800s. The aggregation solutions of CB-3 and CSB-2 were left for two weeks, and no significant changes were found in the fluorescence intensity. Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) shows that the presence of hydrophobic substituents in compounds cause the molecules to be closely interspersed with each other, hence, making it difficult to change the optical properties, microstructure and stacking mode of the AIE aggregates by external stimulations. The introduction of hydrophobic substituents improves the fluorescence stability of AIE compounds, and makes the AIE phenomenon more valuable in the fields of biological/chemical sensing and imaging.

Abstract
The phosphorescence of solid-state carbon dots (CDs) has been demonstrated to be susceptible to water molecules. However, solution-based CDs have been rarely exploited for phosphorescence detection of trace amounts of water in organic solvents. Here, we present a straightforward method to embed the CDs into NaCl nanocrystals and show their application for phosphorescence detection of the water content in organic solvents. The phosphorescent CDs inside NaCl nanocrystals were fabricated by hydrothermal treatment of poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDDA) polymers and their counter chloride ions (Cl-) in the presence of NaOH. Because of the interaction with quaternary ammonium surface groups of PDDA-based CDs (PDDA-CDs), the Cl- ions serve as a nucleation site to trigger NaCl nanocrystal formation. Electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques demonstrate the embedment of PDDA-CDs into NaCl nanocrystals (PDDA-CDs@NaCl). The PDDA-CDs@NaCl exhibited excitation-independent phosphorescence and excitation-dependent fluorescence in ethanol, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and dimethylformamide. In four different organic solvents, the phosphorescence QYs and lasting times of PDDA-CDs@NaCl range from 23 to 35% and 1.2 to 1.5 s, respectively. Once trace amounts of water are present in an organic solvent, the water-induced dissolution of NaCl nanocrystals switches off the phosphorescence of PDDA-CDs@NaCl. It was found that PDDA-CDs@NaCl was capable of detecting as low as 0.25% v/v water in ethanol and 0.125% v/v water in methanol. The above-discussed results provide fundamental insights regarding the embedment of phosphorescent CDs into a solid matrix as a solution-based sensor.

Abstract
N, Cl-doped carbon dots (N, Cl-CDs) were prepared by hydrothermal method from rhodamine B (RhB) and ethylenediamine (EDA). The resulting N, Cl-CDs exhibited fascinating solvent dependence and strict excitation independence. As the polarity of the solvent increased (from tetrahydrofuran (THF) to water), the emission spectrum of N, Cl-CDs was redshifted and the fluorescence efficiency decreased, which were attributed to hydrogen bond-induced aggregation. Taking advantage of these attributes, the N, Cl-CDs were used as suitable probes for fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode detection of water in THF. The linear relationship was 0.5-100% water with the detection limit down to 0.093%. Moreover, the sensing platform was converted into a paper-based sensor for handy, real-time, and visible humidity sensing. N, Cl-CDs/PVA films were fabricated and realized continuously tunable solid-state fluorescence, further expanding their practical application.

Abstract
Cyanide is one of the highly poisonous pollutants to our environment and toxic to human health. It is important to develop the widely applicable methods for their recognition to secure safe uses for people coming into contact and handling cyanide and their derivatives. In this regard, the aggregation-induced emission materials possess high potential for the development of simple, fast, and convenient methods for cyanide detection through either "turn-off" or "turn-on". Among the AIE-based materials, tetraphenylethylene is a promising sensor for various sensing applications. In this paper, we have designed and synthesized a TPE-based chemosensor, which shows high sensitivity and displays good selectivity for cyanide (CN-) over others in the presence of interfering Cl-, I-, F-, Br-, HSO4 -, H2PO4 -, NO3 -, HCO3 -, and ClO4 - anions employed. The naked-eye, UV-vis, and fluorescence methods are employed to evaluate the performance of probe 1 toward CN- detection. From these experiments, CN- ions can be detected with a limit of detection as low as 67 nM, which is comparatively lower than that of the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limit of the cyanide anion, that is, 1.9 μM. From the Job's plot, the 1:1 stoichiometric complexation reaction between probe 1 and CN- was found. The probe was efficiently applied for the detection of CN- ions using a paper strip method. The probe 1 also showed the potential of detecting CN- ions in various food items and in the cell line.
