The emergence and development of aggregation induced emission (AIE) have attracted worldwide attention due to its unique photophysical phenomenon and for removing the obstacle of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) which is the most detrimental process thereby making AIE an important and promising aspect in various fields of fluorescent material, sensing, bioimaging, optoelectronics, drug delivery system, and theranostics. In this review, we have discussed insights and explored recent advances that are being made in AIE active materials and their application in sensing, biological cell imaging, and drug delivery systems, and, furthermore, we explored AIE active fluorescent material as a building block in supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we focus on various AIE active molecules such as tetraphenylethylene, AIE-active polymer, quantum dots, AIE active metal-organic framework and triphenylamine, not only in terms of their synthetic routes but also we outline their applications. Finally, we summarize our view of the construction and application of AIE-active molecules, which thus inspiring young researchers to explore new ideas, innovations, and develop the field of supramolecular chemistry in years to come.
In this work, a 2H-pyran-2-one-functionalized diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) (coded as receptor 1) was designed, synthesized, and fully characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The physical properties of molecular architecture 1 were studied employing theoretical calculations. Receptor 1 was elegantly scrutinized for the sensing of explosive nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). Receptor 1 exhibited detection of nitro explosives, i.e., picric acid (PA), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), and nitrophenol (NP), via the fluorescence quenching mechanism. The Stern−Volmer equation was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the quenching process. It was found that 1 exhibited a detection limit of about 7.58 × 10 −5 , 8.35 × 10 −5 , and 9.05 × 10 −5 M toward PA, DNP, and NP, respectively. The influence of interfering metal ions and anions on PA detection was investigated thoroughly. Furthermore, receptor 1-based low-cost fluorescent thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates were developed for the recognition of PA.
Herein, we have reported a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) based fluorescent chemosensor 4,4′,4′′,4′′′‐(ethene‐1,1,2,2‐tetrayl)tetrakis(N,N‐dimethylaniline) (TPE‐DMA) for the selective detection of explosive nitroaromatic compounds (NACs), such as 2, 4, 6‐trinitrophenol also called as picric acid (PA), 2,4‐dinitrophenol (DNP), and p‐nitrophenol (NP) over other NACs in CHCl3. TPE‐DMA is highly selective and sensitive toward PA in presence of various metal ions and anions. The quenching efficiency can be calculated from the Stern‐Volmer equation and was found to be 4.02×104 M−1, 1.82×104 M−1and 3.12×104 M−1 respectively for PA, DNP and NP. The detection limit of TPE‐DMA towards PA, DNP and NP of about 4.088×10−6 M, 5.155×10−6 M and 3.989×10−6 M respectively. Furthermore, to study the practical applicability of TPE‐DMA, visual‐eye detection was performed not only in solid‐state on TLC plates but also in solution state in CHCl3 under visible light as well as UV light illumination.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker to diagnose a number of diseased conditions, such as, anaemia, hepatobiliary diseases, chronic nephritis, and hypothyroidism. Therefore, the development of simple and convenient...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
