Abstract

Reaping the benefit: A supramolecular light-harvesting antenna has been developed by encapsulating small amounts of a π-conjugated oligomer (molecular wire) within a self-assembled gel-forming donor scaffold. The supramolecular tapes of oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)s facilitate fast exciton migration and funneling of the excitation energy to the encapsulated molecular wire, thereby resulting in intense red emission (see picture).
