One ring threaded by two other rings to form a non-intertwined ternary ring-in-rings motif is a challenging task in noncovalent synthesis. Constructing multicolor photoluminescence systems with tunable properties is also a fundamental research goal, which can lead to applications in multidimensional biol. imaging, visual displays, and encryption materials. Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of binary and ternary ring-in-ring(s) complexes, based on an extended tetracationic cyclophane and cucurbit[8]uril. The formation of these complexes is accompanied by tunable multicolor fluorescence outputs. On mixing equimolar amounts of the cyclophane and cucurbit[8]uril, a 1:1 ring-in-ring complex is formed as a result of hydrophobic interactions associated with a favorable change in entropy. With the addition of another equivalent of cucurbit[8]uril, a 1:2 ring-in-rings complex is formed, facilitated by addnl. ion-dipole interactions involving the pyridinium units in the cyclophane and the carbonyl groups in cucurbit[8]uril. Because of the narrowing in the energy gaps of the cyclophane within the rigid hydrophobic cavities of cucurbit[8]urils, the binary and ternary ring-in-ring(s) complexes emit green and bright yellow fluorescence, resp. A series of color-tunable emissions, such as sky blue, cyan, green, and yellow with increased fluorescence lifetimes, can be achieved by simply adding cucurbit[8]uril to an aqueous solution of the cyclophane. Notably, the smaller cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), which contains the same p-xylylene linkers as the extended tetracationic cyclophane, does not form ring-in-ring(s) complexes with cucurbit[8]uril. The encapsulation of this extended tetracationic cyclophane by both one and two cucurbit[8]urils provides an incentive to design and synthesize more advanced supramol. systems, as well as opening up a feasible approach toward achieving tunable multicolor photoluminescence with single chromophores. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene(cas: 623-24-5Electric Literature of C8H8Br2)
1,4-Bis(bromomethyl)benzene(cas: 623-24-5) belongs to organobromine compounds. A variety of minor organobromine compounds are found in nature, but none are biosynthesized or required by mammals.Electric Literature of C8H8Br2 The most pervasive is the naturally produced bromomethane.
