| Popis: | The ability to modulate reaction rates like controlling speeds by the transmission of vehicles is highly desirable and challenging. Herein, a regio- and stereoselective photodimerization with four tunable and visible rates were realized at the molecular level via the synergy of host–guest chemistry and AIE technology: (i) normal rate without adding macrocycles (ν1), (ii) greatly accelerated rate by the formation of 2:2 complex between γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and an AIE luminogen (AIEgen) (ν2), (iii) deactivated reaction by 1:1 binding of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with the AIEgen (ν3), and (iv) completely inhibited photoreaction in the β-CD-based hydrogel (ν4). The restriction of intramolecular motions of AIEgen activates the fluorescence of the transmission with the rate of ν2 > ν1 > ν3 > ν4 ≈ 0 and enhances the fluorescent contrast before and after photoirradiation, which not only provides in situ trackability to the microscopic process, but also endows intuitive mechanistic insights. The synergy of AIE and h... |
