Supramolecular Luminescent Sensors

Supramolecular Based Membrane Sensors

Supramolecular chemistry can be defined as a field of chemistry, which studies the complex multi-molecular species formed from molecular components that have relatively simpler structures. This field has been subject to extensive research over the past four decades. This review discusses classification of supramolecules and their application in design and construction of ion selective sensors.

Supramolecular self-assembly of morphology-dependent luminescent Ag nanoclusters.

Self-assembled thiolated Ag nanoclusters (NCs) were facilely synthesized through one-pot microwave-assisted reaction. By the mechanism of aggregation induced emission, the quantum yield of the AgNCs is as high as 25.6%. The as-prepared AgNCs give access to intriguing photophysical features and multicolour emission, which are found to be related to their fascinating supramolecular structures.

Organic–Inorganic Hierarchical Self-Assembly into Robust Luminescent Supramolecular Hydrogel

KGaA, Weinheim 1 wileyonlinelibrary.com through the excitation of OH vibrations.[5] On the other hand, the mechanical properties of supramolecular gels typically suffer from the relatively weak noncovalent interactions among the constituent components.[6] This drawback also limits construction of free-standing objects from the luminescent gels.[7] Herein for ...

Luminescent supramolecular soft nanostructures from amphiphilic dinuclear Re(I) complexes.

Luminescent metallo-surfactants based on highly emissive dinuclear Re(I) complexes have been synthesized combining the peculiar photophysical behaviour of this class of neutral hydrophobic complexes with new properties imparted by hydrophilic chains anchored on the coordinated chromophoric ligand. In solution, the resulting neutral amphiphiles tend to self-assembly in soft structures. The aggre...
