Phosphole oxides undergo a highly chemoselective reaction with sulfonyl isocyanates forming sulfonylimino phospholes in high yields. This facile modification proved to be a powerful tool for obtaining new phosphole-based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens with high fluorescence quantum yields in the solid state. Changing the chemical environment of the phosphorus atom of the phosphole framework results in a significant shift of the fluorescence maximum to longer wavelengths.
