Abstract

A novel acceptor-induced cooperative supramolecular co-assembly based on a dendritic electron donor and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene acceptor has been successfully developed. The resulting co-assembly is capable of displaying emissive charge transfer properties and intriguing vapo-fluorochromic behaviors, which can be used for supramolecular encryption applications with reversible authentication.
