A highly selective fluorescence turn-on detection of ClO⁻with 1-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-2-thione unit modified tetraphenylethylene

Abstract

A new selective and sensitive fluorescence turn-on detection of ClO^- is reported by taking advantage of the specific reaction between a 1-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-2-thione unit and ClO^- and the aggregation induced-emission (AIE) behavior of the tetraphenylethylene unit.
