A new pyrene-phosphonate colorimetric receptor <b>1</b> has been designed and synthesized in a one-step process via amide bond formation between pyrene butyric acid chloride and phosphonate-appended aniline. The pyrene-phosphonate receptor <b>1</b> showed aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) properties in water/acetonitrile (ACN) solutions. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) characterization revealed that the aggregates of receptor <b>1</b> at 80% water fraction have an average size of ≈142 ...[more]
