Anion induced modulation of self-assembly and optical properties in urea end-capped oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)s

Abstract

The non-emissive supramolecular assembly of urea end-capped oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) flourophores turned strongly emissive in the presence of tetrabutylammonium flouride which has implications in the anion controlled design of supramolecular architectures with tunable emission properties.
