Abstract
Two Cyanostyryl-guanidiniocarbonyl-pyrrole based amphiphiles are synthesized and examined in detail. In addition to achieving aggregation-induced emission from self-assembly, resulting in nanoparticles, it was found that the observed [2 + 2] photocycloaddition tunes the photophysical properties. The guanidiniocarbonyl-pyrrole component of these hybrid luminophores is shown to bind oxo-anions, such as pyrene-tetracarboxylate, as confirmed by fluorescence lifetime measurements. Moreover, both amphiphiles are used in bio-imaging experiments with HeLa cells, demonstrating effective cellular uptake.
期刊介绍:
ChemPlusChem is a peer-reviewed, general chemistry journal that brings readers the very best in multidisciplinary research centering on chemistry. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
Fully comprehensive in its scope, ChemPlusChem publishes articles covering new results from at least two different aspects (subfields) of chemistry or one of chemistry and one of another scientific discipline (one chemistry topic plus another one, hence the title ChemPlusChem). All suitable submissions undergo balanced peer review by experts in the field to ensure the highest quality, originality, relevance, significance, and validity.
