Popis: | Supramolecular polymers are polymers based on monomeric units held together with directional and reversible noncovalent interactions. Compared with traditional polymers, they possess better processability and better recycling properties, owing to their reversible monomer-to-polymer transition. Herein, we report the construction of a new supramolecular system through self-assembly of a thymine-substituted copillar[5]arene 1 and a tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative 2 in the presence of Hg2+. Copillar[5]arene 1 can coordinate with Hg2+ tightly through T–Hg2+–T pairings. On the other hand, 1 can bind with guest molecule 2 through host–guest interactions between the pillararene cavity and the nitrile moiety of 2. These joint interactions generate crisscrossed networks composed of 1, 2, and Hg2+, which eventually wrap into spherical nanoparticles. Due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties of 2, the formed supramolecular polymer exhibits strong fluorescence which renders convenient the detection... |
