A rigid molecular cleft shows unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) by restricting the motion of aldehyde through intermolecular lone pair⋅⋅⋅π interactions, which are tuned by side chains. This AIE luminogen was demonstrated to work as a fluorescent sensor for aniline and an optical chirality sensor for chiral amine.
