Abstract:
An exceptional, temperature-dependent enhancement of luminescence is reported upon encapsulation of an iridium(III) polypyridyl complex in cucurbit[10]uril (Q[10]). This is the first demonstrated example of a luminescent transition metal complex occupying the Q[10] cavity with this type of differential response.
