title: Salicylaldehyde azines as fluorophores of aggregation-induced emission enhancement characteristics.
abstract: A series of salicylaldehyde azine derivatives were found to exhibit interesting aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics. In good solvent, all these compounds displayed very weak fluorescence, while strong emission was observed when they were placed in poor solvent. Moreover, the AIEE color of these compounds varied from green to red depending on the substituents on azines. Their in situ formation also promises potential applications in fluorescence sensing of hydrazine.
