Tetraphenylethene-containing supramolecular hyperbranched polymers: aggregation-induced emission by supramolecular polymerization in aqueous solution†
Abstract
Supramolecular hyperbranched polymers have been successfully constructed by using host-enhanced π–π interactions between CB[8] and a naphthyl-substituted tetraphenylethene derivative, which exhibit a strong fluorescence in aqueous solution due to aggregation-induced emission.
