A novel "turn-on" fluorescent chemosensor for the selective detection of Al3+ based on aggregation-induced emission.

A water-soluble, 'turn-on' fluorescent chemosensor based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has been developed. It exhibits rapid response, excellent selectivity, and sensitivity to Al(3+).
