研究目的

To overview the current progresses of AIE molecules and polymers prepared by GCC reaction and their applications, highlighting GCC as a powerful synthesis method for next-generation TAE-kind AIE materials.

研究成果

GCC reaction is a powerful and versatile strategy for synthesizing new TAE compounds with functional groups, offering advantages over traditional methods like simplicity, expanded scope, mild conditions, and applicability to both small molecules and polymers. It has potential in sensing, bioimaging, and super-resolution imaging, with future directions including water-soluble TAE molecules, heterocycle-containing TAE, conjugated polymers, macrocyclic structures, and charged derivatives for super-resolution probes.

研究不足

As a review, it discusses limitations of traditional synthesis methods (e.g., Rathore’s procedures and McMurry reaction) such as complex processes, low tolerance for active functional groups, toxicity, and purification difficulties, but does not specify limitations of the GCC reaction itself beyond the scope of reviewed studies.
