An AIEE fluorescent supramolecular cross-linked polymer network based on pillar[5]arene host–guest recognition: construction and application in explosive detection

Abstract

Here a novel fluorescent supramolecular cross-linked polymer network with aggregation induced enhanced emission (AIEE) properties was constructed via pillar[5]arene-based host–guest recognition. Furthermore, the supramolecular polymer network can be used for explosive detection in both solution and thin films.
