title: Recent developments in the field of photoluminescent organically modified cyclosiloxanes.
abstract: Herein, we present a brief overview of the recent developments in the field of photoluminescent cyclosiloxanes, with a special focus on the synthesis and unique photophysical properties of newly reported silole-based cyclosiloxanes with pronounced aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behaviour. Comparisons of their photophysical data as well as the results of computational studies of various types of silole-based cyclosiloxanes are presented and their potential applications are briefly discussed.
