Abstract

Broad-spectrum tunable photoluminescent nanomaterials are developed based on macrocyclic amphiphiles serving as a novel modular light-harvesting platform with discrete addressability of luminophores in a noncovalent way. By simply varying the donor/acceptor ratio, a broad spectrum of energy transfer outputs is achieved, pointing toward a proof-of-principle application as fluorescent inks for security printing.
