A self-assembly induced emission system constructed by the host-guest interaction of AIE-active building blocks

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 21;51(6):1089-91. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06510g.

Abstract

Dibenzo[24]crown-8 (host) and benzylamine (guest) modified tetraphenylethenes are prepared and used to construct supramolecular polymers, which demonstrate the merits of reversible assembling-disassembling and tunable aggregation-induced emission by acid-base treatments.
