A conceptually new "light-up" biosensor with a high specificity for d-glucose (Glu) in aqueous media has been developed. The emission from tetraphenylethene (TPE)-cored diboronic acid (1) was greatly boosted when the fluorogen oligomerized Glu because of restriction intramolecular rotations aryl rotors TPE by formation oligomer. Little change light observed 1 mixed d-fructose, d-galactose, or d-mannose, as these saccharides are unable to oligomerize fluorogen.
General formalism of absorption and emission spectra, radiative nonradiative decay rates are derived using a thermal vibration correlation function for the transition between two adiabatic electronic states in polyatomic molecules.

Methylpentaphenylsilole (MPPS) and tetraphenylethene (TPE) are two archetypal luminogens that show the novel effect of aggregation-induced emission (AIE). In this work, TPE moieties attached to MPPS core as peripheral groups at 2,5- 3,4-positions generate new AIE luminogens.

Although weak absolute term, emissions stronger than those parent forms...

An efficient copper-catalyzed borylation reaction of allyl or vinyl arenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron has been developed, without using ligands. Markovnikov-selectivity is observed in the bis(pinacolato)diboron, while regioselectivity completely opposite when styrene derivatives are used as substrates. A mechanism involving Cu–B species regioselectively adding olefin double bonds to form alkylcopper η3-benzyl copper intermediate, which followed by protonation obtain products, proposed.
