Self-assembly of stable luminescent lanthanide supramolecular M4L6 cages with sensing properties toward nitroaromatics

Abstract

We report here the first example of concentration-triggered helicate-to-tetrahedron transformation in supramolecular lanthanide edifices, along with their highly efficient and selective luminescence sensing properties toward PA at the ppb level.
