Flexible and dynamic porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with well-defined nanospaces composed of chromophoric organic linkers provide a scaffold for encapsulation of versatile guest molecules through noncovalent interactions. ...

Naphthalene diimides (NDIs) form emissive ground-state charge-transfer (CT) complexes with various electron rich aromatic solvents like benzene, o-xylene and mesitylene. TD-DFT calculation of the complexes suggests CT ...

Templated cooperative binding induced assembly of chromophores is achieved via interactions between Zn-complexes and the DNA phosphodiester backbone. The chromophores are organized in left-handed (M)-helices via double-zipper ...

Allosteric regulation, a key biological phenomenon, has been demonstrated for controlling the supramolecular handedness of an artificial self-assembled system. Supramolecular assembly of perylene bisimide (PBI) functionalized ...

We describe the preparation and optical characterisation of a coronene tetracarboxylate salt (CS) in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film solutions processed from water, neat or mixed with varying ratios of a europium ...

Charge-transfer (CT) assemblies of aromatic donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules have recently gained attention as a promising material for organic electronics and ferroelectrics. Two major factors which govern their ...

Porous polyimides are important class of macromolecules owing to their excellent redox behaviour, efficient capture of CO2 and H-2 gases, interesting photocatalytic properties and superior thermal and chemical stabilities. ...

A novel supramolecular clipping design for influencing the photophysical properties of functional molecular assemblies, by the preorganization (clipping) of chromophores, is described. Several chromophores end functionalized ...

Measuring humidity in dynamic situations calls for highly sensitive fast response sensors. Here we report, a humidity sensor fabricated using solution processed supramolecular nanofibres as active resistive sensing material. ...
