Efficient artificial light-harvesting system constructed from supramolecular polymers with AIE property

Abstract

An artificial light-harvesting system based on supramolecular polymers has been successfully constructed in aqueous media, which displays tunable emission with efficient energy transfer and high antenna effect.

An artificial light-harvesting system based on the ESIPT–AIE–FRET triple fluorescence mechanism

“…In this study, we designed and synthesized a bifunctional monomer (L) based on our previous experiences, containing an acetal-based spirocyclic spacer 39,40 in the middle and two tetraphenylethylene (TPE) [41][42][43] groups at both ends (Scheme 1). Notably, the TPE group is AIE active.…”

The Materials and Application of Artificial Light Harvesting System Based on Supramolecular Self‐assembly

“…The shortcomings of the above synthetic methods (difficult synthesis and separation, high environmental requirements) can be solved by effective molecular design and functionalized assembly in artificially simulated light-harvesting systems. So far, the light-harvesting systems based on supramolecular assemblies mainly include several categories: macrocyclic compounds, vesicles, [15][16][17][18] proteins [19][20][21][22] and organic nanomaterials, [23][24][25] organogel materials, organic-inorganic hybrids, liquid crystal materials, and so on.…”

Artificial light-harvesting nanoparticles based on a tripodal fluorescence sensor mediated by multiple luminescence mechanisms

“…30–33 These systems are often nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in aqueous media to meet the requirement of green production. Strategies for preparing such NPs generally include self-assembly, 34–37 micro-emulsion, 38–43 reprecipitation 44,45 etc. For example, Wang and co-workers constructed artificial light-harvesting NPs based on the self-assembly of water-soluble pillar[6]arene.…”
