摘要

New guest dye cations within the channel cavities of supramolecular hosts are studied. The guest organic dyes are intercalated in the supramolecular hosts by a coprecipitation reaction to give new dye-sensitizer coordination polymers. The absorption spectra for the dye molecules within the supramolecular hosts show intense bands in the region from 500 to 700 nm due to the presence of the dyes within the parallel channels in the monomeric forms. The properties of the resulting colored polymers were investigated by IR, UV-vis, fluorescence spectra and X-ray powder diffraction, indicating the excitation energy transfer from neutral red or pyronine as donors to methylene blue or thionine as acceptors within a supramolecular system filled with a mixture of both dyes. The wide-ranging tenability of these highly organized materials offers fascinating new possibilities for exploring excitation energy transfer phenomena, and challenges for developing new photonic devices.
