Visible light mediated BODIPY/Azo/cyclodextrin based supramolecular polymer assemblies in different water content solutions†
Abstract
A novel visible light responsive supramolecualr polymer based on oligo(ethylene glycol) modified BODIPY (BDP), tetramethoxyazobenzene (Azo) and dimeric β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-C) was reported. This polymer demonstrated a tunable aggregation state and morphologies upon green/blue light irradiation in aqueous solution with different water fractions.
