Dendronised diazapyrenium derivatives were synthesised with glycol-appended dendrons to confer water solubility. These dendrimers form self-assembled supramolecular structures with cucurbituril hosts. The self-assembly process could be monitored by changes in the absorption spectra and redox properties of the dendrimers due to electronic interactions of the electron-accepting diazapyrenium core with the electron-rich inner cavity of cucurbiturils.

Abstract
Dendronised diazapyrenium derivatives were synthesised with glycol-appended dendrons to confer water solubility. These dendrimers form self-assembled supramolecular structures with cucurbituril hosts. The self-assembly process could be monitored by changes in the absorption spectra and redox properties of the dendrimers due to electronic interactions of the electron-accepting diazapyrenium core with the electron-rich inner cavity of cucurbiturils.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
