Aggregation-Induced Emission: Together We Shine, United We Soar!

Abstract

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is another photophysical phenomenon associated with chromophore aggregation. The concept of AIE has been introduced by a group of researchers in 2001. In the AIE process, non-emissive luminogens are induced to emit by the aggregate formation. The luminogens exhibiting AIE attributes are termed AIEgens, by analogue with the term of 'mesogens' for the molecules showing mesomorphism under suitable conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
