Water-dispersible nanospheres of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers and their application for mimicking light-harvesting systems

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Feb 9;50(11):1334-7. doi: 10.1039/c3cc48618d.

Abstract

Water-dispersible nanospheres of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers have been prepared for the first time by using the miniemulsion method. Nanospheres containing chromophores with high fluorescence quantum yields were fabricated to mimic the natural light-harvesting system.
