摘要: The conformational flexibility of water-soluble p-(4-sulfonatophenyl)calix[8]arene leads to pH dependent autofluorescence. Solution-based and solid-state techniques are consistent with the spontaneous formation intra-molecular excimers upon solvation, molecular simulations revealing that this occurs through π-stacking. Time-based fluorescence intensity studies provide insight into solution dynamics, solvated shelf-life, significantly enhance analytical protocol. Conductivity support micelles, no evidence for a direct link between higher-order structures Disruption excimer by divalent metal cations provides scope its utility as fluoroionophore, which is also simulations, without requirement incorporating additional fluorophoric water solubilising sub-units.
