Aggregation-induced emission (aie): A versatile tool for chemo/biosensing

Abstract

AIE as a photo-physical phenomenon is growing at an exponential rate which provides unique opportunities in different scientific domains. Inspired from fascinating properties of AIE-based conventional frameworks like tetraphenylethylene (TPE), hexaphenylsilole (HPS), new motifs, and their aggregation properties have been rationalized rapidly. In this chapter, the current aspects of AIE-based self-assembled probes using novel frameworks like hexaphenylbenzene (HPB), hexaarylbenzene (HAB), pentacenequinone, pyrazine, and terphenyl are documented. Further, the applications of these probes in chemo/biosensing are presented with emphasis on our current reports.
