Several γ-cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives mono- or di-substituted by pyrenes at the primary rim of the CD were demonstrated to aggregate into nano-strips in aqueous solutions, with the pyrene moieties interpenetrating into γ-CD cavities. The hydrophobic complexation-induced aggregation provides a rigid chiral environment for the pyrenes and leads to significant electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activities, giving unprecedently high g and g values up to 4.3×10 and 5.3×10 , respectively. The aggregates lead to excimer emission with high quantum yields and show B and B up to 338. 6 M cm and 169.3 M cm , respectively.

A naphthalimide based chemosensor (NPG), containing 1,8-naphthalimide as a fluorophore unit and pentaethylene glycol as a binding unit, has been used for the detection of Pd ions in 50% HEPES buffer-DMSO (pH 7.2) solution. The NPG showed aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties in HO-DMSO binary mixtures (0-90%) and the CIE plot of NPG in DMSO has = 0.

In this work, we introduced a simple aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) sensor (PHCS) which can selectively detect and discriminate three environmentally and biologically imperative heavy metal ions (Cu, Co and Hg) and a hazard class 1 categorized nitro-explosive picric acid (PA) in differential media. By virtue of its weak fluorescence attributes in pure organic medium owing to the synergistic operation of multiple photophysical quenching mechanisms, the molecular probe showcased highly selective 'TURN ON' fluorogenic response towards hazardous Hg with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 97 nM. Comprehensive investigation of binding mechanism throws light on the cumulative effect of probe-metal complexation induced chelation enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect and subsequent AIEE activation within the formed probe-metal adducts.

The three-phase structure of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-iodine complexes was elucidated by solid-state NMR (SSNMR), of which the micro-extension of the PVA segment in the interphase and amorphous domains was directly confirmed. The three-phase structure of the PVA-iodine complex was decomposed by the inverse C -filter, where C NMR resonance lines of a C(H) triplet were observed in all three phases. The chain axis of ∼26% extended chains in the interphase deviates 35°-50° relative to the stretching direction, while there is only a 1° deviation for the extended chains in the crystalline domain.

The red-emitting bovine serum albumin stabilized silver nanoclusters (BSA-AgNCs) were conjugated with the vitamin B cofactors pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) and pyridoxal (PL). The deconvoluted bands in XPS revealed that the conjugation occurred due to the formation of imine-linkage between the vitamin B cofactors and the BSA functionalized over BSA-AgNCs. The TEM images supported the formation of pseudo-spherical shaped nano-aggregates upon conjugating vitamin B cofactor PLP over BSA-AgNCs.
