Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have attracted increasing attention in recent years on account of their attribute overcoming the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) phenomenon conventional organic fluorophores. Despite remarkable advantages and great developments, most AIEgens exhibit broad spectra with full width at half-maxima (FWHM) over 100 nm, which is to disadvantage practical applications. Herein, supramolecular polymeric AIE materials brighter fluorescence narrower...
