Abstract:
Cyano-substituted p-phenylenevinylene (R-1) aggregates exhibiting fluorescence and Raman spectroscopic responses towards CO2 are described. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) as well as the aggregation-enhanced Raman scattering (AERS) of R-1 in aqueous conditions was reduced in the presence of a small amount of CO2, which enabled its easy and fast bimodal detection in different analytical samples.
