Threading the Needle: Fluorescent Poly-pseudo-rotaxanes for Size-Exclusion Sensing

Poly-pseudo-rotaxanes have been formed through the threading of cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]) onto the cationic electron-poor poly(pyridyl vinylene), PPyV. The threading of CB[n] onto the PPyV backbone is confirmed by a broadening and upfield shift in the PPyV 1H NMR signals. Encapsulation of PPyV within...
