AIEgens for dark through-bond energy transfer: design, synthesis, theoretical study and application in ratiometric Hg 2+ sensing

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: sensors exhibited well resolved emission peaks. >6000-fold ratiometric fluorescent enhancement is also achieved and the detection limit was found to be as low as 0.3 ppb. This newly proposed DTBET mechanism could be used to develop novel ratiometric sensors for various analytes and AIEgens with DTBET characteristics will have great potential in various areas including light harvesting materials, environmental science, chemical sensing, biological imaging and diagnostics.
