We synthesized an unoxidized bis-indolyl methane (BIM) derivative (probe 1) comprising of tetraphenylethylene (TPE) as the signalling moiety. The amphiphilic probe could form self-assembled nanoscopic aggregates in the aqueous medium. The emission of 1 in non-polar solvents originates from the LE state, while in polar solvents, it is dominated by TICT. Moreover, probe 1 exhibited a 'turn-on' fluorescence response for both uric acid (with a blue shift in emission maxima) and phytic acid (with a red shift in emission maxima). Therefore, the present system provides an exceptional opportunity to distinguish between phytic acid and uric acid by considering two different emission channels. Mechanistic investigations revealed that both H-bonding and electrostatic interactions between the probe and analytes could effectively cause restricted intramolecular rotations, leading to a turn-on response. Additionally, in the case of phytic acid, larger aggregates were observed with prominent CT characteristics. The change in the extent of charge transfer interaction in the formed adducts resulted in distinct fluorescence responses with phytic acid and uric acid. Furthermore, we explored the applicability of the present system in the screening of real-life samples, such as uric acid in urine samples and phytic acid in grains. The LOD for phytic acid and uric acid was found to be ∼5.48 nM and 10.4 nM, respectively. The quantitative nature of the system was confirmed, showing promising results in terms of recovery values (between 95.6% and 104.2%) and detection limits. Additionally, we also employed handy paper strips for the on-site monitoring of phytic acid and uric acid, thereby eliminating the need for complex instrumentation or trained technicians.
