Abstract
High monomer concentration is a requisite for engendering the aggregation-induced emssion (AIE) phenomenon as well as the formation of supramolecular polymers. Therefore, this is supposed to ensure the generation of AIE supramolecular polymers, wherein the monomer soluability takes effect. Nevertheless, parts of supramolecular monomers are considered as poessessing different soluability towards the same sovlent, through which the polymerzation process is thus hard to proceed. Interfacial polymerzation gets over the soluabilty restriction, providing a facile method for propelling the reaction of thesemonomers. Herein, we had prepared M1 containing tetraphenylethene (TPE) functionalized with two terpyridine derivatives, then making M1 dissolving in CHCl3 to give solutions. Cu2+ solutions were fabricated through dissolving CuCl2 into H2O. Towards mixing those solutions, AIE interfacial supramolecular polymers (AIEISPs) displaying green fluorescence were generated at the interface of two phases on the basis of metal-coordination between terpyridine and Cu2+. These AIEISPs were certificated to possess the stimuli-responsiveness, for which the excessive addition of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide would cause the structure destruction owing to the stronger bonding ability with Cu2+ than that of terpyridine. These fabricated AIEISPs had provided a new avenue to prepare AIE supramolecular polymers.
