Short summary
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is a phenomenon where molecules that are non-emissive in solution become highly emissive when aggregated.

Key points
- AIE is a photophysical phenomenon where aggregation induces light emission.
- Molecules exhibiting AIE are termed AIEgens.
- This behavior is opposite to conventional luminogens that often quench in aggregates.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is another photophysical phenomenon associated with chromophore aggregation. The concept of AIE has been introduced by a group of researchers in 2001. In the AIE process, non-emissive luminogens are induced to emit by the aggregate formation. The luminogens exhibiting AIE attributes are termed AIEgens, by analogue with the term of 'mesogens' for the molecules showing mesomorphism under suitable conditions.
