Abstract A comprehensive experiment was designed in this work, which included the frontier science issues including “aggregation-induced emission (AIE)” and “molecular machine”. The synthesis of compound, characterization of fluorescence property and test of chemical kinetics are combined in this experiment, which are related to organic chemistry, analytical chemistry and physical chemistry, respectively. Through class and network learning, students will learn about the basic conception of “molecular machine” and the mechanism of AIE phenomenon. Meanwhile, their abilities to solve practical problems with textbook knowledge will also be improved. The equipment using in this experiment is very simple, and the chemicalss are cheap and highly safety. Thus, this experiment is suitable for the experimental teaching of different universities and colleges. This experiment takes 4 class hours and is recommended to be set in the fifth semester. More importantly, since the AIE theory was an original scientific theory proposed by Chinese scientist, students' national pride and learning passion will be enhanced memorably by the learning of AIE theory.
