• [15][18]. In contrast to classical luminophores, these compounds typically show emission “on” behavior upon aggregation or binding, which can be explained by a restriction of motion. In this contribution, we designed a hybrid compound featuring AIE luminophores based on aromatic thioethers [19] as a
