Fluorescent bio/chemosensors based on silole and tetraphenylethene luminogens with aggregation-induced emission feature

New fluorescent sensors have been developed, utilizing the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attribute of silole and tetraphenylethene luminogens. In this feature article, we b...

2,3,4,5-Tetraphenylsiloles with different 1,1-substituents on the ring silicon atoms, i.e., 1,1-dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole (1), 1-methyl-1-(3-chloropropyl)-2,3,4,5-tetra...

Aggregation-induced emission of 1-methyl-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole

Aggregation greatly boosts emission efficiency of the silole, turning it from a weak luminophor into a strong emitter.
