| Popis: |
A symmetric tetramethylcucurbit[6]uril-based porous supramolecular assembly was prepared in an aqueous H2SO4 solution (5M). The driving force for the formation of this assembly is mainly the outer surface interaction of Q[n], which includes the ion-dipole interaction of SO42− anions and the positive electrostatic potential of the outer surface of the symmetric tetramethylcucurbit[6]uril (TMeQ[6]), the dipole-dipole interactions between the positive electrostatic potential of the outer surface of TMeQ[6] and portal carbonyl oxygens of TMeQ[6], and the hydrogen bonding between lattice water molecules and portal carbonyl oxygen atoms in TMeQ[6]. The TMeQ[6]-based porous supramolecular assembly exhibits the characteristics of absorbed fluorophore guests (FGs), such as dyes and polycyclic compounds with different fluorescence characteristics. Moreover, the resulting luminescent assemblies (FG@As) can respond to certain volatile organic compounds; in particular, the luminescent assemblies of rhodamine B or pyrene display a unique fluorescence enhancement in response to methanol. |
