Abstract

The optical properties of 2, 6-diacetoxyanthracene 4 encapsulated in the self-assembled boronic ester cavitand capsule 3 in C6H6 are described. Upon excitation at 285 nm, the encapsulated 4 showed strong fluorescence emission as a result of the energy transfer from the excited 3 to the encapsulated 4, while 4 alone in C6H6 exhibited very weak emission. Upon photoirradiation at 365 nm, the encapsulated 4 also showed strong fluorescence ...
