Design and synthesis of a molecule with aggregation-induced emission effects and its application in the detection of arsenite in groundwater†
Abstract
A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active molecule, compound 1, was synthesized for the first time. Simultaneously, an ultra-sensitive and selective chemosensor 2 for the “turn-on” sensing of As3+ based on the AIE mechanism has been developed by combining cysteine with compound 1.
