Abstract
Luminogenic materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) attributes have attracted
much interest since the debut of the AIE concept in 2001. In this critical review,
recent progress in the area of AIE research is summarized. Typical examples of AIE
systems are discussed, from which their structure-property relationships are derived.
Through mechanistic decipherment of the photophysical processes, structural design
strategies for generating new AIE luminogens are developed. Technological, especially
optoelectronic and biological, applications of the AIE systems are exemplified to
illustrate how the novel AIE effect can be utilized for high-tech innovations (183
references).
