aggregationinduced
Aggregationinduced is a descriptor used in chemistry and materials science to refer to phenomena that arise when molecules aggregate. The most widely studied instance is aggregation-induced emission (AIE), where compounds emit more strongly in the aggregated or solid state than in dilute solution. The term captures the idea that certain properties emerge or change as molecular assemblies form.
Aggregation-induced emission was first demonstrated in the early 2000s with silole-based fluorophores. In solution, intramolecular motions
Applications of aggregation-induced phenomena are broad. AIE luminogens are used in organic light-emitting diodes, displays, chemical
