Abstract

L-Valine methyl ester-containing tetraphenylethene (Val-TPE) has been designed and synthesized. This novel molecule exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE), aggregation-induced circular dichroism (AICD), circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and the capacity to self-assemble into helical nanofibers.
