Abstract
Unlike previous coordinative host–guest
systems, highly
emissive host–guest complexes (up to Φ<sub>F</sub> =
0.5) were successfully prepared upon encapsulation of various fluorescent
dyes (e.g., BODIPY and coumarin derivatives) by a Pt(II)-linked coordination
capsule in water. Picosecond time-resolved spectroscopy elucidates
the photophysical behaviors of the obtained complexes. Notably, the
emission color of the fluorescent guest within the capsule can be
readily modulated upon pairwise encapsulation with planar aromatic
molecules
