Abstract

Supramolecules containing a photoluminescent center (PLC) exhibit prompt and intense luminescence upon the molecular recognition of substrates. Luminescence from supramolecular assemblies is triggered by substrates that are light-harvesting and able to coordinate metal ion PLCs, light-harvesting and non-coordinating to PLCs, and non-absorbing and non-coordinating. Our efforts to elaborate the photophysical schemes for these three classes of substrates are described herein.
