Its crystal is obtained by slow evaporation of an acetonitrile-methanol mixed solution. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the crystallography belongs to a triclinic PI space group with cell parameters： a = 0. 663 07（13） nm, b = 0. 898 39（18） nm, c = 1. 569 0（3） nm, α = 75.12（3）°,β = 87.92（3）°, γ = 77.57 （3）°. Antofloxacin shows no fluorescence in solution, but the crystalline state emits strong green light at 510 nm under the excitation of 360 nm, indicating a fluorescence enhancement induced by aggregation. It demonstrates that intermolecular packing and interaction in the crystal lead to the improved fluorescence quantum yield. These results provide important intbrmation for the further exploration of the structure-activity relationship of antofloxacin and the development of new drugs.展开更多
