Abstract

In contrast to tetraphenylthiophene showing weak emission both in solution and solid states, hydroxylated tetraphenylthiophene exhibited boosted aggregation-induced emission in presence of biogenic amines via phenol-amine interactions, favourable for vividly reporting food spoilage process.
