Abstract

A new molecular capsule with a flexible fluorescent shell was formed by the quantitative self-complementary assembly of amphiphilic, U-shaped polyaromatic subunits in water. The capsule can fully encapsulate a variety of non-fluorescent monoterpene compounds (e.g., menthone, menthol, and p-menthane) in the hydrophobic cavity and act as a fluorescent supramolecular probe for recognizing the structural identity of the analytes by emissive signals in water at room temperature.
