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