Self-assembly of singlet-emitting double-helical silver dimers: the curious coordination chemistry and fluorescence of bisquinolylpyridone
Farrow CMA., Akien GR., Halcovitch NR., Platts JA., Coogan MP.
The previously unreported ligand 2,6-bis(2-quinolyl)-4(1H)-pyridone spontaneously assembles into double helical dimers with Ag+ – its fluorescence is BLUESHIFTED upon complexation.
