Abstract
Multiresponsive fluorescent supramolecular materials are quite interesting, for they combine the multiresponsiveness of supramolecules and the high sensitivity of fluorescent materials. Different from the multiresponsive supramolecular materials based on host-guest interactions, in this report, a supramolecular ionic network was fabricated by 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine and citric acids via ionic interactions. Despite the fact that there are no conventional chromophores, the obtained supramolecular ionic material can emit strong fluorescence. Most interestingly, the thin film of this supramolecular ionic material can change its fluorescent intensity in response to four external stimuli, including humidity, triethylamine, acetic acid, and temperature. Beneficial to the supramolecular ionic structure, this multiresponsive fluorescent sensor is self-healable. It is found that a new route has been opened to prepare the multiresponsive fluorescent sensors.
