• Conjugated phosphonium salt
• Aggregation-induced emission
• Mitochondrial imaging

A new conjugated phosphonium salt TPP was synthesized readily from phosphine-triggered ring-opening of 2,4,5-triphenylpyrylium salt. In aqueous solution, it exhibited interesting AIEE properties and self-assembled into fluorescent nanoparticles, which can be used as a fluorescence probe to image mitochondria in cells.
