TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent progress in exploring nonconventional luminophores and discuss the current challenges and future perspectives, and highlight the clustering-triggered emission (CTE) mechanism, which emphasizes clustering of electron rich moieties and consequent electron delocalization along with conformation rigidification.

TL;DR: This work revisited protein light emission using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model, showing unique concentration-enhanced emission and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, and persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) is achieved even in the amorphous solids under ambient conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the emission mechanism of non-conventional luminogens and achieving persistent room temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) from pure organic compounds have drawn increasing attention due to their significant fundamental importance and promising applications.

TL;DR: In this article, an aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) effect was observed in the case of tetraphenylethene (TPE) units 1 and 2, where the TPE-functionalized luminogens are nonemissive in dilute solutions but luminescent as solid aggregates, showing a novel behavior of aggregationinduced emission.

TL;DR: It is found that the fluorescence of aliphatic poly(amido amine)s including linear and hyperbranched ones can be dramatically enhanced by simple aggregation of polymer chains, attributing to the formation of a variety of intra- and interchain clusters with shared lone-pair electrons and the restriction of intramolecular motions.
