Stimuli-responsive blue fluorescent supramolecular polymers based on a pillar[5]arene tetramer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Aug 4;50(60):8231-4. doi: 10.1039/c4cc03105a.

Abstract

A tetraphenylethene-bridged pillarene tetramer with aggregation-induced emission properties forms an A4/B2-type supramolecular polymer and a gel with a symmetric neutral guest linker, showing a remarkable fluorescence emission enhancement in solution and the solid state and a good responsiveness to temperature and solvent composition.
