“…The surface-fixation-induced emission (S-FIE) phenomenon is an interesting study using clay nanosheets. − S-FIE is an emission enhancement phenomenon caused by adsorption on the clay nanosheet surface compared to a solution, and it is similar to aggregation-induced emission (AIE), which has attracted the attention of many researchers. − AIE studies have been conducted using molecules with basic structures such as tetraphenylethylene, and S-FIE molecules also share common characteristics. ,− The cationic and intramolecular rotation parts are important for the appearance of S-FIE. The mechanism of emission enhancement on the clay surface is common to many reported molecules and involves the inhibition of a nonradiative deactivation process, ,− ,, and this inhabitation is caused by suppressing the intramolecular motion during deactivation from the photoexcited state to the ground state by adsorption on the flat clay surface. However, the influence of adsorption on radiative deactivation was less significant. ,,, …”
