| Conjugated polymers and oligomers can serve as highly responsive fluorescent reporters for biosensing; however, their optical properties in aqueous media are highly dependent upon environmental conditions. The structure of the paracyclophane framework provides a platform for designing optical reporters that shows little sensitivity to surfactants, and thus is ideal for biosensor application. The permanent intramolecular delocalization via the pCp core dominates over the perturbations which arise from intermolecular delocalization in spontaneously formed aggregates. |
