Enhanced emission in a supramolecular artificial light-harvesting system for a photocatalytic thiol–ene reaction†
Abstract
A novel supramolecular artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) was constructed through the host–guest assembly of water-soluble phosphate-pillar[5]arene (WPP5), AIE-enhanced donor (BND), and Eosin Y (ESY) acceptor. This LHS could significantly promote the photocatalytic thiol–ene click reaction of thiophenol and styrene derivatives.
