(a) The chemical structure of the AIE-active β-diketonate boron complex. (b) Photoelectronic spectra of DKMeO in various solvents. (c) Photographic images of DKMeO in hexane, toluene, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and acetonitrile under UV irradiation. (d) Photoluminescence spectra of blue suspension (dotted line) and time-dependent spectra of green suspension (solid lines) in 5 × 10–5 M CH3CN/water mixture at 85% and 95% fraction of water (fw), respectively. (e) A plot of relative luminescent intensity versus fw. I0 represents emission intensity in pure 5 × 10–5 M CH3CN solution. Reprinted with permission from ref [23].
