Abstract
A bromophenylpyridine derivative (BH-PY) was designed and synthesized as the guest molecule included in the cavity of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) to form a 2:1 host–guest complex, which displays good room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in aqueous solutions. The interaction and optical properties of CB[8] with a guest in aqueous solution were investigated using 1H NMR spectroscopy, UV–Vis absorbance spectra, fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra and X-ray diffraction analysis in detail. The result showed that the bromophenyl moieties of the two guest molecules are included in the cavity of the CB[8] in a ‘head-to-tail’ stacking way, whereas the other part of BH-PY remains outside the portal to form a 2:1 supramolecular structurce, and supramolecular assemblies were applied for targeted phosphorescent imaging of mitochondria.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry is the premier interdisciplinary publication reporting on original research into all aspects of host-guest systems. Examples of specific areas of interest are: the preparation and characterization of new hosts and new host-guest systems, especially those involving macrocyclic ligands; crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and theoretical studies; applications in chromatography and inclusion polymerization; enzyme modelling; molecular recognition and catalysis by inclusion compounds; intercalates in biological and non-biological systems, cyclodextrin complexes and their applications in the agriculture, flavoring, food and pharmaceutical industries; synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites.
The journal publishes primarily reports of original research and preliminary communications, provided the latter represent a significant advance in the understanding of inclusion science. Critical reviews dealing with recent advances in the field are a periodic feature of the journal.
