Abstract
A supramolecule photosensitizer (supra-photosensitizer) based on the host-guest complexation of cyclodextrins and a bis-chalcone dye (BDEA) was prepared. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Me-β-CD), with the highest inclusion rate, was confirmed as the best host among the four cyclodextrins. The host-guest properties of Me-β-CD and BDEA were characterized by FTIR, XRD, 1H NMR, PLQY, SEM, Job’s plot, Benesi-Hildebrand plot, and others. Compared to the conventional photosensitizers, the supra-photosensitizers showed higher fluorescence emission and longer fluorescence lifetime whether as a powder or distributed in a film. The improvement in fluorescence coincided with improvement in photoinitiation efficiency and was proven to enhance the generation of volume grating. It is expected that the supra-photosensitizer may open a new avenue for the design of high-performance photoinitiation systems.
