ABSTRACT
Hexakis(phenylthio)benzene compounds carrying six carboxylic acid groups at their periphery combine aggregation-induced phosphorescence, water-solubility and metal-binding properties: the para-isomer is a selective and sensitive turn-on phosphorescent sensor of Pb2+ ions in water.
The school will focus on sunlight conversion to energy and chemical fuels, and on the ethical and sustainable use of natural resources. It will be a forum for discussion on new science and technology integration to ensure a sustainable future for people and planet.

ABSTRACT
Exploring new materials to manipulate luminescentradiation and investigate the interaction of light and matter isone of the most compelling prospects of our century. Supra-molecular chemistry has unraveled the opportunity to synergis-tically combine the chemical and optoelectronic properties ofthe most diverse classes of compounds. Among these, ter-pyridines have acted as pivotal ligand units that enable self-assembly of multicomponent chromophoric systems. In this re-view we therefore elucidate the metal-coordinating ability of these materials, that promote a plethora of aggregation-in-duced phenomena. In particular, fluorescence tuning, reversiblestimuli-responsive phosphorescence enhancement and low-dimensional complexation have been demonstrated for carbonand sulfur based terpyridine oligomeric structures. Commonthread of such processes is the versatile application of light asa trigger for spectroscopic investigation and output for superioroptical, medical and sensing devices.
Welcome Andrea Fermi. For all of those wondering, no he's not related to the Enrico Fermi, creator of the world's first nuclear reactor and "architect of the nuclear age"...or is he??
