The cover picture shows a schematic representation of thioether‐based luminophores with aggregation‐induced emission properties in different substitution patterns, which reveal no significant emission in the dissolved state (top left). These monomers assemble into spherical particles upon aggregation in water (top right) which reveal striking fluorescence emission due to a restriction of intramolecular rotation, preventing non‐radiationless decay (bottom right). These fluorescent aggregates are able to penetrate the cellular membrane and can be used as efficient imaging agents as proven by confocal microscopy imaging (bottom left).
