Construction of an Artificial Light-Harvesting System with Photocatalytic Activity Based on Nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

A supramolecular assembly was constructed based on the tetraphenylethylene derivatives (TPEs) and nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril (ns-Q[10]). Upon introduction of the dye Rhodamine B (RB) into the TPEs@ ns-Q[10] assembly, an energy transfer process can occur from the TPEs@ ns-Q[10] assembly to RB. Moreover, after the addition of Nile Red (NiR),
