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 ...

Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) molecules self-assemble into one-dimensional columnar structures that possess a macrodipole moment along the stacking direction. Application of an external electric field on their liquid ...

In this study, soft clay chromophore hybrids were used to demonstrate a photo-modification strategy, in which a white light standard can be converted into a different white light standard via in situ generation of a blue ...

Supramolecular organic electronics embodies one of the biggest promises made by supramolecular functional materials. Huge advancements have been made with regard to its theoretical and functional understanding over the ...

Luminescent light harvesting hybrid materials form a curious field not only because of their potential to deal with a variety of device related challenges, but also because they break new ground with the current trend of ...

Molecular organization of donor and acceptor chromophores in self-assembled materials is of paramount interest in the field of photovoltaics or mimicry of natural light-harvesting systems. With this in mind, a redox-active ...

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 ...
