Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) is a novel photophysical
phenomenon which offers a new platform for researchers to look
into the light-emitting processes from luminogen aggregates, from
which useful information on structure-property relationships
may be collected and mechanistic insights may be gained. The
discovery of the AIE effect opens a new avenue for the development
of new luminogen materials in the aggregate or solid state. By
enabling light emission in the practically useful solid state, AIE
has the potential to expand significantly the technological
applications of luminescent materials.
Aggregation-Induced Emission: Fundamentals is the first
book to explore the fundamental issues of AIE, including the
design, synthesis, and photophysical behavior of AIE-active
molecules and polymers. The control of the morphological structures
of the aggregates of AIE-active materials, and the experimental
investigation and theoretical understanding of the AIE mechanism,
are also covered in this volume.
Topics covered include:
* AIE in group 14 metalloles
* AIE in organic ion pairs
* Red light-emitting AIE materials
* Supramolecular structure and AIE
* AIE-active polymers
* Enhanced emission by restriction of molecular rotation
* Crystallization-induced emission enhancement
* Theoretical understanding of AIE phenomena
This book is essential reading for scientists and engineers who
are designing optoelectronic materials and biomedical sensors, and
will also be of interest to academic researchers in materials
science and physical and synthetic organic chemistry, as well as
physicists and biological chemists.
