Luminogenic and Bactericidal Studies of an Acrylonitrile-Based AIEgen.

We have synthesized an aggregation-induced emissive molecule that exhibits promising photophysical characteristics. The aggregating aptitude is demonstrated by binary solvent mixture and it is emissive in both solution and solid state. The luminogenic characteristics are employed in creating fluorescent inks as well as for the detection of nitro antibiotics in biofluids and in solid support. Moreover, the acrylonitrile-based compound is bactericidal tested on E. coli and B. subtilis.
