An increased interest in the use of platinum complex based luminescent micelles for imaging biological tissues has emerged in recent years due to their low cytotoxicity, synthetic flexibility, photostability, and high emission efficiency. Here, we report a luminescent micelle that is prepared through the self-assembly of an amphiphilic, neutral Pt(II) complex with isoxazole moieties in THF/water on account of its aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property.
