Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is an attractive phenomenon in which materials display strong luminescence the aggregated solid states rather than conventional dissolved molecular states. However, highly luminescent inks based on AIE are hard to be obtained because of difficulty finely controlling crystallinity at nanoscale. Herein, we report preparation via oil-in-water microemulsion induced aggregation Cu-I hybrid clusters soluble copper iodide-tris(3-methylphenyl)phosphine (Cu4 I4 (P-(m-Tol)3 )4 ) hybrid. Furthermore, can synthesize a series with different light-emission colors cover whole visible spectrum range facile ligand exchange processes. The assemblies characteristics will pave way fabricate low-cost inks.
