[Ru(phen) sub(2)dppz] super(2+) luminescence reveals nanoscale variation of polarity in the cyclodextrin cavity

Phosphorylation of beta -cyclodextrin enhances binding with Ru(ii)polypyridyl complexes, and promotes selectivity based on chirality and ligand hydrophobicity. For [Ru(phen) sub(2)dppz] super(2+) , inclusion of dppz results in a dramatic increase in luminescence with multiple lifetimes. The sensitiv...

Description
Summary:Phosphorylation of beta -cyclodextrin enhances binding with Ru(ii)polypyridyl complexes, and promotes selectivity based on chirality and ligand hydrophobicity. For [Ru(phen) sub(2)dppz] super(2+) , inclusion of dppz results in a dramatic increase in luminescence with multiple lifetimes. The sensitive response of photophysics to the environment reveals nanoscale variation of polarity.
