“…Another widely used backbone that is used to construct ESIPT‐based AIEgens is 2‐(2′‐hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT, Scheme 2I with X = S), which is a typical ESIPT fluorophore bearing an intramolecular hydrogen bond O─H···N and show AIE properties by virtue of RIM mechanism. [ 31, 36, 42, 45, 46, 56, 59, 63, 73, 76, 81, 100, 103, 108, 120–123, 126, 131 , 180–194 ] The emissions of HBT derivatives are easily tunable and extended to the red region, making them advantageous to be applied in bioimaging. [ 103, 126, 192, 193, 195 ] In addition, a few of ESIPT‐based AIEgens based on 2‐(2′‐hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole (HBI, Scheme 2I with X = NH), [ 196 ] and 2‐(2′‐aminophenyl)benzothiazole (ABT, Scheme 2J) [ 52, 63, 90, 101, 114, 197 ] have been reported.…”
