“…In this respect, the derivatives of tetraphenylethylene (TPE) are one of the most popular class of AIEgens used to design optical sensing platforms. , Further, in order to attain dynamic controllability, good reversibility, and stimuli responsiveness to the external factors, probes based on noncovalent interactions are highly preferred. ,− In this regard, to design turn-on probes, rotational motions of AIEgens have been restricted via various noncovalent interactions, such as, co-ordinate bonding, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic forces offered by various biopolymers, such as, proteins, enzymes, DNA, peptides, glycosaminoglycans, etc. − Especially, the ionic backbone structure or grooves and cavities of the biopolymers have been shown to arrest the intramolecular motions of AIEgens, leading to enhanced fluorescence. ,− Moreover, in the last decade, electrostatic interactions have been extensively employed to develop such probing systems in diverse fields for monitoring analytes, molecular recognition, drug delivery, supramolecular catalysis, etc. ,− …”
