英文摘要：

Tetraphenylethene derivatives display unique optical and/or electrical properties and biological activity due to their large π-conjugated system, endowing their broad applications in optoelectronic materials, bio-imaging and other areas. Such compounds are facile to synthesize, easy to functionalize and have obvious aggregation induced emission （AIE） effect, thus attracted increasing more attentions and get tremendous development in the past dacades. The recent progress in research of tetraphenylethene derivatives in chemical sensing, biological probes, organic light emitting diodes （OLEDs） and relating areas is reviewed, and its development trend is briefly prospected.
