摘要

A non-coordinating anion, fluorinated tetraphenylborate, assembles specially designed cationic cyanine amphiphiles into 7-8 nm fluorescent nanoparticles that are >40-fold brighter than a single cyanine dye. This kind of anion, combining hydrophobic and electrostatic forces in aqueous media, constitutes promising building blocks in the self-assembly of functional nanomaterials.
