TL;DR: A facile strategy of heavy-atom-participated anion–π+ interactions is proposed to construct RTP-active organic salt compounds (1,2,3,4-tetraphenyloxazoliums with different counterions) by exchanging the counterion with a heavy halide ion.

TL;DR: A visual sensing approach based on fluorescent imaging is presented, by assembling aggregation-induced-emission (AIE)-active molecular rotors into a moisture-captured network; the resulting AIE humidity sensors are compatible with diverse applications, having tunable geometries and desirable architectures.

TL;DR: A new strategy that utilized anion-π+ interactions to block detrimental π-π stacking was first proposed to develop inherent-charged AIE systems, and TriPO-PN was biocompatible and could specifically target lysosome in fluorescence turn-on and wash-free manners, suggesting that it was a promising contrast agent for bioimaging.

TL;DR: It is reported that enhancing the intraparticle confined microenvironment is an effective approach to advanced AIE dots, permitting boosted cancer phototheranostics in vivo, and brings new insights into the design of superior fluorescent NPs for biomedical applications.

TL;DR: This is the first reported time-dependent fluorescence-guided photodynamic therapy in one individual PS for ordered and multiple targeting by varying the external conditions, which can update the design principle of efficient PSs in potential clinical applications.
