Transitioning Room-Temperature Phosphorescence from Solid States to Aqueous Phases via a Cyclic Peptide-Based Supramolecular Scaffold.

Aqueous room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have garnered considerable attention for their significant potential across various applications such as bioimaging, sensing, and encryption. However, establishing a universally applicable method for achieving aqueous RTP remains a substantial challenge. Herein, we present a versatile supramolecular strategy to transition RTP from solid states to aqueous phases.
