Supramolecular Aggregation-Induced Emission Active Materials for Detection of Small Organic Molecules
摘要
The unification of the unique phenomenon of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and supramolecular chemistry has been extensively exploited as a promising platform in sensing, bioimaging, therapeutics, and drug delivery. Leveraging different supramolecular interactions such as host-guest interaction, electrostatic interaction, and hydrogen-bonded interactions, a wide variety of AIE active fluorescent probes are effectively utilized for the detection of a variety of small molecules such as nitroaromatics, phenols, amino acids, biogenic amines, drugs, pesticides, lipids, etc. This chapter intends to systematically discuss the design principles, supramolecular interactions, and analytical merits of supramolecular AIE-active fluorescent materials in the detection of small organic molecules.
