A new "ESIPT + AIE" based dye of benzothiazole with red emission and a large Stokes shift was constructed by combining 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole as the ESIPT unit and α-cyanostilbene as the AIE unit. The compound BACN was found to be a ideal HClO chemosensor, and presented palpable fluorescence and colorimetric responses toward HClO via the HClO-trigged oxidation cleavage of the ethylene bridge activated by the electron withdrawing cyano group. BACN was capable of recognizing HClO rapidly (12 s) and sensitively under physiological conditions, with good selectivity over other biologically pertinent substances. Thanks to strong red emission (λ = 606 nm) and large Stokes shift (213 nm) resulted from the combination of ESIPT and AIE effects, it was successfully utilized for the recognition of exogenous and endogenous HClO in living HeLa cells.

- exhibited significant aggregation-induced Emission (AIE) characteristics, including high brightness (αAIE ≈ 40), robust light stability, a substantial Stokes shift (128 nm), and a high signal-to-noise ratio, effectively overcoming aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Derived from the axially chiral -H-BINOL, - was synthesized via nucleophilic cyclization and exhibited pronounced self-assembly properties. Through robust intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, - formed diverse supramolecular structures, including spherical flower-like aggregates, hollow-core triangular tubules, hexagonal tubules, and irregular white block-like stacks.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers are promising for photodynamic therapy, yet their short excitation wavelengths present a limitation. In this study, we develop a series of organic photosensitizers with dual modulation capabilities based on excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and AIE. Notably, we synthesize near-infrared (NIR)-excited photosensitive nanoparticles through a coassembly strategy utilizing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and amphiphilic polymers.

Background: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the most common liver diseases. The crucial role of lipid droplets (LDs) and hydrogen peroxide (HO), two important biomarkers in the pathophysiology of DILI, has spurred considerable efforts to accurately visualize HO and LDs for elucidating their functions in the progression of DILI. However, construction of a single fluorescent probe that is able to simultaneously image HO and LDs dynamics remains to be a challenging task.

We report a newly synthesized 7-diethylamino-4-hydroxycoumarin tagged symmetrical azine derivative (SHC), with an interesting color transformation from yellowish green to orange via aggregation induced red shifted emissive (117 nm) feature in THF-HO mixture. Interestingly, the single crystal X-ray analysis of this molecule demonstrates that two hydroxycoumarin moieties were present in azine unit, among them one of the coumarin units was exist as enol form and another one transferred to keto form via ground state proton transfer reaction. The optical responses of the compound in different solvents exposed the observation of dual emissive bands which corresponds to the presence of ESIPT phenomenon in SHC molecule.
