Abstract
Supramolecular nanoassemblies of an AIEE-ICT-active pyrazine derivative (TETPY) with strong absorption in the visible region catalyze the synthesis of a variety of a broad range of benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles and quinazolines in excellent yields under "metal-free" conditions in a mixed aqueous media.
