title: Multiple-color aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules as chemodosimeters for pH sensing.
abstract: A series of 4-N,N-dimethylaminoaniline salicylaldehyde Schiff-base derivatives (DAS) were facilely prepared. They exhibit typical AIE properties with various fluorescence emissions and high fluorescence quantum yields in an aggregated state. DAS exhibit unique pH-dependent optical properties, which indicated their potential applications in pH sensing.
