[0002] In the past two decades, the innovation of luminescent materials has opened up new avenues for science and technology, and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is one of the important ways. Non-luminescent materials in the state of separated molecules can induce strong fluorescence when they aggregate, which has the opposite effect to the luminescence quenching (ACQ) effect caused by molecular aggregation. According to the hard-hard acid-base principle that hard acids tend to bind to hard bases and soft acids tend to bind to soft bases, histidine (His) easily binds to Zn 2+ ,Cd 2+ ,Cu 2+ ,Ni 2+ ,Ag + Coordination occurs, and cysteine ​​(Cys) is more likely to bind to Hg 2+ ,Pb 2+ ,Zn 2+ ,Cd 2+ Coordination occurs, tyrosine (Try) and Cu 2+ It is easier to coordinate and design the polypeptide sequence. Compared with other polypeptide probes, the polypeptide probe composed of amino acids has the advantages of excellent performance and simple synthesis.
