Compared with conventional fluorophores which are often quenched in the aggregate state or at high concentration due to concentration quenching or aggregation-caused quenching, tetraphenylethene (TPE)-based organic fluorogens exhibit an extraordinary aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature, providing a new platform for the development of fluorescence light-up molecules and photostable nanoaggregates for specific analyte detection and imaging. However, self-assembly of TPE-based building blocks can hardly be achieved without introduction of other driving forces due to the propeller-shaped structure and the dynamic rotation of the phenyl rings of the TPE unit. Herein, two four-armed TPE derivatives containing electron-rich naphthalene (TPE-NP) and electron-deficient paraquat (TPE-PQ) groups, respectively, were designed and synthesized. Driven by charge-transfer (CT) interactions, a complex formed between TPE-NP and TPE-PQ. It self-assembled into nanorods in a 1D packing mode, resulting in the restriction of intramolecular rotation to enhance the AIE effect significantly. A difunctional negatively charged water-soluble pillar[6]arene (H) was used to reduce the toxicity of TPE-PQ by forming a stable inclusion complex (H4?TPE-PQ) with TPE-PQ. A ternary system containing H, TPE-NP and TPE-PQ was utilized as an imaging agent for cancer cells due to the pH-responsiveness of H. Compared to the physiological pH of 7.4, the pH in tumor tissue and endosomes is more acidic, resulting in the disassembly of the host-guest complex H4?TPE-PQ and the formation of the AIE-enhanced CT complex between TPE-NP and TPE-NP in cancer cells.

It was found for the first time that neutral amphiphilc tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives showed an enhanced monomer emission and a decreased aggregate emission when they were included in the cavity of γ-cyclodextrin. This result provided a new insight into the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect.
