Pyrene functionalized silsesquioxane cages (PySQ) not only provide significant fluorescence from pyrene-pyrene excimers with a very large Stokes shift (Δλ = 143 nm, 69 930 cm) in DMSO but also exhibit fluoride capture results coincidentally with a π-π* fluorescence enhancement. On the other hand, PySQ-F in THF significantly exhibits π-π* fluorescence quenching and a color change can be observed with the naked eye from light yellow to deep orange by forming a charge-transfer (CT) complex among the pyrenyl rings. Moreover, PySQ selectively captures F with a response time of <2 min and with a very low detection limit (1.61 ppb), while F NMR is used to confirm encapsulation of F with Δδ = 19 ppm.
芘官能化倍半硅氧烷笼(PySQ)不仅在二甲基亚砜(DMSO)中能产生具有很大斯托克斯位移(Δλ = 143 nm,69930 cm)的芘-芘激基缔合物发出的显著荧光,而且在捕获氟化物时恰好伴随着π-π荧光增强。另一方面,在四氢呋喃(THF)中的PySQ-F显著表现出π-π荧光猝灭,并且通过在芘基环之间形成电荷转移(CT)络合物,肉眼可观察到颜色从浅黄色变为深橙色。此外,PySQ能选择性地捕获氟,响应时间小于2分钟,检测限极低(1.61 ppb),同时利用氟核磁共振(F NMR)来确认氟的包封,化学位移变化(Δδ)为19 ppm。
