Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active maleimide dyes, namely, 2-p-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide, 3-phenyl-2-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide, 2-p-thiocresyl-3-p-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide, and 2,3-dithiocresyl-N-arylmaleimides, were synthesized by facile synthetic procedures. The dyes show intense emission in the solid state, and emission colors were controlled from green (λmax =527 nm) to orange (λmax =609 nm) by
