AbstractIn recent years, there has been considerable interest in cyanostilbenes due to their unique photophysical properties. The compounds emit light when aggregating, commonly called aggregation-induced emission (AIE). This remarkable feature makes cyanostilbenes ideal for various sensing applications, especially in aqueous environments. The detection of various analytes, such as metal ions and nitroaromatic compounds, has been accomplished using these compounds through various sensing mechanisms from chelation-enhanced fluorescence to fluorescence quenching. Furthermore, cyanostilbenes have shown great promise in biological imaging applications and have been employed for intracellular imaging, tracking, and targeting of sub-cellular organelles. The development and utilization of cyanostilbenes can significantly impact advanced sensing and imaging technologies in both analytical and biological fields. This potential stems from the unique properties of cyanostilbenes, such as their AIE characteristics, which sets them apart from other compounds and makes them highly useful for various applications. Further exploration and development of cyanostilbenes could lead to the creation of novel sensing and imaging technologies with wide-ranging applications in both academic and industrial settings.

AbstractFluorescent organic materials that exhibit unique aggregation‐induced emission have been utilized for various applications, including white light emission (WLE). The materials typically rely on composite designs involving a mixture of compounds emitting at different wavelengths of light. To overcome the limitations offered by the design of such composite mixtures, tremendous efforts were also emphasized in developing single‐molecule substrates that emit white light. The white light by either method is typically controlled by the solvent polarity, energy and charge transfer, host‐guest interactions, gelation, or embedding in the polymer or organic frameworks. This article briefly reviews various molecules exhibiting aggregation‐induced emission behavior and emitting white light.

AbstractPyridyl acrylonitrile without traditional auxiliary groups form stable organogels in ethanol. The addition of a second non‐gelating cyanostilbene component results in a more stable two‐component gel. Single crystal X‐ray data reveal the influence of C−H⋅ ⋅ ⋅N, C−H⋅ ⋅ ⋅π, and π–π interactions in the formation of organogels. The morphology of the xerogels was studied by using SEM, which showed the self‐assembly of molecules to fibers and sheet‐like structures, and phase differences upon the gel formation and the structural phase characterization was measured using powder XRD. Exposure of the organogels to acidic (TFA) vapors results in distinct color changes and loss of gelation properties, thus highlighting the potential of these gels in sensing. The results represent a rare example of two‐component organogels using two different cyanostilbene units and show that functional two‐component organogels can be formed by utilizing the synergistic effects of the individual components.
