Abstract

We have designed five propellor-shaped molecules based on the quinoxaline scaffold with a functional group variation. They exhibit aggregation-induced emission, and the responses of these congeners regarding good solvents and poor solvents are investigated both spectroscopically and microscopically. Solid- as well as solution-state parallel analysis of the aggregation facet is laid out. Notably, L2 interacts specifically with a cationic surfactant, unlike other congeners where the mechanism proceeds via disaggregation. Real sample analysis was carried out on freshwater samples as well as waste effluent samples from domestic households and industries, thus projecting the analytical and environmental significance.
