New 8-hydroxy quinoline-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) conjugates and their sulfonated derivatives: effects of sulfonation and PAH size on their structural, supramolecular and cytotoxic properties

Abstract

Inter-molecular π-π stacking interactions of aromatic systems play crucial roles in functional nanomaterials and therapeutics. Herein, we developed a series of novel 8-hydroxyquinoline-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) conjugates (PH1-PH3) by coupling...
