Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) stands for an intriguing phenomenon that a series of non-planar molecules that are nonluminescent or weakly emissive in solutions are induced to emit strongly in the aggregated or solid states. Recently, AIE becomes a very hot research topic as evidenced by the exponential growth of AIE-related publications and citations. Herein, the recent advances of a class of outstanding AIE luminogens, tetraarylethenes, are introduced. The structure-property relationship tetraarylethenes is elucidated and their potential applications are described.
