Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a novel photophysical phenomenon found in a group of luminogens that are not fluorescent in solution but are highly emissive in the aggregate or solid state. Since the first publication of AIE luminogens in 2001, AIE has become a hot research area in which the number of research papers regarding new AIE molecules and their applications has been increasing in an exponential manner. Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators ranked AIE no.3 among the Top 100 Research Frontiers in the field of Chemistry and Materials Science in 2013. In this review, I will give a general introduction of the AIE phenomenon, discuss the structure-property relationship of the AIE lumingens and summarize the recent progress in the applications including as light-emitting materials in optoelectronics, as chemosensors and bioprobes, and for bioimaging (total 69 references cited).
聚集诱导发光（AIE）是一种新型的光物理现象，存在于一组发光体中，这些发光体在溶液中没有荧光，但在聚集态或固态中具有很强的发光性。自 2001 年首次发表 AIE 发光体以来，AIE 已经成为一个热门的研究领域，关于新的 AIE 分子及其应用的研究论文数量呈指数级增长。汤森路透基本科学指标将 AIE 在 2013 年化学和材料科学领域的 100 个研究前沿中排名第三。在这篇综述中，我将对 AIE 现象进行概述，讨论 AIE 发光体的结构-性质关系，并总结其在光电发光材料、化学传感器和生物探针以及生物成像等方面的应用进展（共引用 69 篇参考文献）。
