Supramolecular Disassembly for Sensing

Abstract

Supramolecular assemblies that predictably respond to environmental changes have been of great interest due to their applicability in many areas. The key motivation for this interest involves the enhanced selectivity by materials that respond to the concurrent presence of two or more stimuli. Most of the polymers and the resultant assemblies designed for this purpose are based on a single assembly. We were interested in designing a system, where we bring together two different supramolecular assemblies each of which are independently and synergistically responsive to two different stimuli.
