Coordination-driven self-assembly, which provides a highly effective method to put the individual chromophores together, is consistent with the AIE mechanism of TPE. During the past few years, some AIE-active metal-organic coordination complexes have been successfully constructed via coordination-driven self-assembly, and their AIE properties and applications have been investigated. In this review, we survey the recent progress on TPE-based metal-organic coordination complexes and their applications in fluorescence sensors, cell imaging, and light-emitting materials. We will introduce them from three different types of structures: metallacycles, metallacages, and metal-organic frameworks(MOFs).展开更多

Structure and morphology of the product were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The possible formation process was schemed. The sensor gas properties towards C 2 H 5 OH and CO were examined.展开更多

The preorganized system possesses phenylthiourea units for the spectropho- tometric sensing of dicarboxylates, especially malonate, based on changes in the surface plasmon absorption of the gold nanoparticles （GNPs）. The intensity of the absorbance band increases gradually with the concentration of di- carboxylates increasing. But such an ion-selective change in the plasmon band was not observed in control tests carried out by mono-thiourea-modified GNPs, receptor 3 and the free receptor 2. As it is shown from the association constants, derived from quantitative titrations, receptor 4 can selectively recognize dicarboxylate anions of shorter carbon chain, and has the highest affinity to malonate. The interaction properties for anions of receptor 4 were evaluated by lH NMR and UV-vis spectroscopic methods.展开更多
