Abstract

It is common knowledge that chromophore aggregation usually quenches light emission. The concept of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) changes this general belief and provides a new stage for the exploration of practical luminescent materials. The weak emission of AIE fluorogens (AIEgens) as molecular species and their bright fluorescence as nanoscopic aggregates distinguishes them from conventional organic luminophores and inorganic nanoparticles, making them ideal candidates for high-tech applications. This article summarizes the impact of AIEgens in biomedical applications.
