| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The development of new fluorescent molecules and molecular assemblies is of importance for the preparation of unique photofunctional materials. In this work, we succeeded in the quantitative formation of new polyaromatic nanocapsules with fluorescent properties in water from V-shaped amphiphilic compounds with various polyaromatic rings. The nanocapsule could encapsulate a wide range of water-insoluble molecules (e.g., fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and phthalocyanines) in the hydrophobic cavity to give aqueous host-guest nanocomposites in water. In addition, host-guest nanocomposites containing fluorescent dyes (e.g., DCM and Nile red) display unique photofunctional properties in solution and in the solid state.
