Characterizing and understanding self-assembling, nanocapsule host-guest systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Supramolecular, self-assembled nanocapsules have been shown to be capable of entrapping fluorescent guests. Previous solid- and solution-state research, focusing on hydrogen-bonded C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes (PgC6)nanocapsules, have shed light...
Probing supramolecular assemblies via fluorescent reporter molecules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes, PgC₆, nanocapsules in the solution. Nanocontainers of PgC₆ were self-assembled from six Pg building blocks, enclosing over 1200 Å3 of space. Steady-state and dynamic fluorescence spectroscopic techniques were used to interrogate...
