Abstract

An AIE based tetraphenylethylene derivative (MOTIPS-TPE) with a pyridinium pendant was synthesized for light-up sensing of F− in aqueous solution without additives. The fluoride ion promoted cleavage reaction gave MOTIPS-TPE high selectivity toward F− over other common anions. Moreover, MOTIPS-TPE can be used to monitor F− in living HeLa cells.
