TL;DR: A novel molecular design strategy is provided to rationally tune the stimuli response of luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, and the AIE rotor with the largest molecular size turns out to be the most viscosensitive luminogen with a viscosity factor of 0.98.

TL;DR: Recently, a series of pyrazine-based prototype AIEgens are developed which include the distinctive features of convenient synthesis and post-modification, good stability, tunable molecular excited-state motion, electronic structure and geometry, and rich N functional binding sites as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new route for atom-economical synthesis of functional polymers was developed, where Oxidative polycoupling of 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazole with 4,4′-(α,ω-alkylenedioxy) bis(diphenylacetylene)s and 1,2-diphensyl-1, 2-bis[4-(phenylethynyl)phenyl]ethene, respectively, were catalyzed by [Cp*RhCl2]2,

TL;DR: This work rationally designed and presented a single AIEgen, named TVQE, bearing lipophilic, cationic and hydrolyzable moieties, and thisAIEgen was capable of illuminating mitochondria and lipid droplets with red and blue emission, respectively, and was successfully used for evaluating cell viability due to its distinct two-color emission changes tuned by esterase-mediated hydrolysis.
