Internet of Things-Enabled Aggregation-Induced Emission Probe for Cu²⁺ Ions: Comprehensive Investigations and Three-Dimensional Printed Portable Device Design.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we have developed a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe and three-dimensional (3D) printed portable device for copper (Cu²⁺) sensing in an aqueous medium. A ubiquitous synthetic route has been employed to devise the anthracene-conjugated imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (TL19) probe as a unique anchor for Cu²⁺ ions. The TL19 is meticulously characterized through pivotal spectroscopic techniques, and the satisfactory results were obtained. The solvatochromic analysis and density functional theory calculations cohesively reveal that the TL19 exhibits the intramolecular charge transfer transition upon photoexcitation. Intriguingly, the TL19 exhibits spherically shaped nanoaggregates and enhanced fluorescence in DMSO/water (10:90) mixtures. This fluorescent nanoa
