Environmentally Stable Reversible Cavitand Molecular Switches Based on the Excimer of Perylene
Environmentally stable novel flexible bisperylene resorcin[4]arene molecular switch cavitand B and the corresponding rigid cavitand A were synthesized and a single crystal was obtained. Spectroscopic analysis revealed the formation of an excimer of perylene within the cavitand. The presence of flexible chains in cavitand B confers a high degree of environmental stability, rendering its fluorescence unaffected by external factors such as pH and temperature variations. In contrast, the rigid cavitand A exhibits heightened sensitivity to changes in environmental conditions.
