Aggregation-induced emission in novel multilayered 3D polymers: development of a fluorescent probe for selective metal ion detection.

ABSTRACT: This study presents the characterization of a novel multilayered three-dimensional (3D) polymer exhibiting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties when excited at a low wavelength of 280 nm. Utilizing fluorescence spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the polymer displays a marked enhancement in luminescence upon aggregation, a characteristic behavior that distinguishes AIE-active materials from conventional fluorophores. Furthermore, we explore the potential application of this multilayered 3D polymer as a fluorescent probe for the selective detection of specified metal ions. By incorporating chelating functional groups into the polymer matrix, we facilitate specific interactions with target metal ions, leading to significant fluorescence intensity changes that correlate with ion concen
