Chemosensing of Monocyclic and Bicyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Supramolecular Active Sites

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 492))

Abstract

We present a general strategy for molecular chemosensing. The overall approach relies on the design of supramolecules containing a docking site for an analyte and a photoactive site capable of emitting visible light. By manipulating the fundamental parameters governing energy flow within the supramolecule, we can trigger bright luminescence from the photoactive center upon the molecular recognition of analyte at the binding site. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by describing our efforts to design modified cyclodextrin supramolecules, which detect monocyclic and bicyclic aromatics with the appearance of a visible luminescence.
