Abstract

A straightforward strategy for the generation of white-light emission in aqueous media is reported. Using a blue-emissive AIE-active (aggregation-induced emission) 1,8-naphthalimide-based sensitizer and a boron-dipyrromethene-based red emitter as a dopant, water-dispersible nanostructures with tuneable emission features are produced. The white-light emissive (WL) nanoaggregates are stable at neutral pH and have been elegantly utilised for four-colour cell imaging (including nearinfrared imaging).
