Abstract
Two o-carborane based tetraphenylethene (TPE) cationic cyclophanes O1·4PF6 and O2·4PF6 were synthesized through an SN2 reaction. Their structures were confirmed both possessing Z-shaped cavities in single crystal analysis. The optical properties of these macrocycles were systematically investigated using UV–vis spectroscopy and fluorescence techniques. It is worth noting that the introduction of a methoxy group to the TPE unit enables the synthesis of a near-infrared-emitting macrocycle O2·4PF6. The recognition behaviors of these two macrocycles towards nucleotides were investigated using various techniques including fluorescence titration, UV–vis titration, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Interestingly, these cyclophanes exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effects in water or under the induction of nucleotides.
