A turn-on detection of cysteine (Cys) based on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer and aggregation-induced emission properties of a salicylaldehyde azine derivative has been established.
A novel fluorescent probe for ClO−is developed by the combination of a new ClO−responsive unit and the aggregation induced-emission feature of tetraphenylethylene.
A novel tetraphenylethylene imidazolium macrocycle was found to be able to form an aggregate with a pyrophosphate anion in water, which gives a characteristic aggregation-induced emission fluorescence.
