A D-π-A type quinoline derivative, 2-(((4-(1, 2, 2-triphenylvinyl)phenyl)imino)methyl)quinolin-8-ol (), was synthesized and structurally characterized. The five-membered ring formed by the O-H···N hydrogen bond in contributed to the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) behavior of , which was further verified by theoretical computations. Upon coordination with Zn, the hydroxyl proton in was removed, resulting in the inhibition of ESIPT. In the meanwhile, the formed complex displayed aggregation-induced emission (AIE) character in THF/HO mixtures, which is conducive to the fluorescence enhancement in aqueous media. Structure analysis suggested that the origin of the AIE characteristic was attributed to restriction of intramolecular rotations along with the formation of -aggregates. Based on ESIPT coupled with AIE, could recognize Zn(II) in aqueous media via an orange fluorescence turn-on mode. Benefitting from the AIE property, chemosensor was successfully applied to fabricate test strips for rapid sensing of Zn(II) ions.

The design and synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with outstanding light-harvesting and photoexcitation for artificial photocatalytic CO reduction is an attractive but challenging task. In this work, a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active ligand, tetraphenylpyrazine (PTTBPC) is proposed and utilized for the first time to construct a Zr-MOF photocatalyst via coordination with stable Zr-oxo clusters. Zr-MOF is featured by a scu topology with a two-fold interpenetrated framework, wherein the PTTBPC ligands enable strong light-harvesting and photoexcitation, while the Zr-oxo clusters facilitate CO adsorption and activation, as well as offer potential sites for further metal modification.

In this study, we report the design and development of a stable fluorescent probe that is selectively localized in the cytosol of Hela cells. We designed two probes, 1 and 2, with D-π-A (carbazole (Cbz)-vinyl-naphthalimide (NPI)) and A-π-D-π-A (NPI-vinyl-Cbz-vinyl-NPI) architecture, respectively. Probes 1 and 2 exhibit broad photoluminescence (PL) spectra ranging from green (550 nm) to far-red (800 nm) in solutions and aggregated states.

The two contradictory entities in nature often follow the principle of unity of opposites, leading to optimal overall performance. Particularly, aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) with donor-acceptor (D-A) structures exhibit tunable optical properties and versatile functionalities, offering significant potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. However, trapped by low molar absorptivity (ε) owing to the distorted configurations, the ceilings of their photon-harvesting capability and the corresponding phototheranostic performance still fall short.

Pursuing nanomaterials with high fluorescence quantum yields is of great significance in the fields of bioimaging, medical diagnosis, and food safety monitoring. This work reports on orange-emitting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) integrated with blue-emitting nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs), which enables highly sensitive detection of S and Zn ions through an off-on ratiometric fluorescence method. The highly emissive Cu NCs was doped by Ce with a high quantum yield of 51.
