Hypoxanthine is a well-known indicator of intracellular energy status that is associated with many pathological conditions. We report a fluorescent luminogen (TPE-HPro) with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature which, along with xanthine oxidase (XO), detects and quantifies hypoxanthine in a "turn-on" manner. The superior detection performance of this fluorometric assay indicates its great potential for biomedical diagnostics.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active fluorescent hydrogel materials have found extensive applications in soft robotics, wearable electronics, information encryption, and biomedicine. Nevertheless, it continues to be difficult to create hydrogels that are both highly luminescent and possess strong mechanical capabilities. This study introduces a combined approach of prestretching and solvent exchange to create anisotropic luminous hydrogels made of poly(methacrylic acid-methacrylamide).

Ln-MOFs, composed of lanthanide ions and functional organic ligands, are porous materials with tunable structures and unique luminescent properties. However, the interplay between ligand AIE properties and the framework's "antenna effect" on MOF morphology is understudied. Here, Tb-D-Cam-TPTB was synthesized via solvothermal method using TPTB (persulfurated arene) as the primary ligand, D-Cam as the auxiliary ligand, and Tb3+ as the metal ion.

Intramolecular Repulsive Interactions Enable High Efficiency of NIR-II Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogens for High-Contrast Glioblastoma Imaging.

Strategies to acquire high-efficiency luminogens that emit in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) range are still rare due to the impediment of the energy gap law. Herein, a feasible strategy is pioneered by installing large-volume encumbrances in a confined space to intensify the repulsive interactions arising from overlapping electron densities. The experimental results, including smaller coordinate displacement, reduced reorganization energy, and suppressed internal conversion, demonstrate that the repulsive interactions assist in the inhibition of radiationless deactivation.

Controllable transformation between the bolaamphiphilic molecule assemblies with different morphological nanostructures represents an exciting new direction for materials. However, there are still significant challenges for the quantitative detection and real-time monitoring of a controllable nanoself-assembly process due to insufficient measuring methods. Herein, we propose a new and effective fluorescence technology for realizing quantitative detection of a controllable conversion process of one-dimensional (1D)/two-dimensional (2D) nanoassemblies by introducing AIEgens as the fluorescence signal part.
