Abstract
With an aggregation-induced emission feature, a suspension of imidazole-bearing tetraphenylethylene in a tetrahydrofuran–water mixture with a high water fraction is highly emissive, and can be completely quenched by Fe3+ ions due to the coordination between imidazole moieties and the Fe3+ ion.
