Rotaxane rings promote oblique packing and extended lifetimes in DNA-templated molecular dye aggregates

Rotaxane rings promote oblique packing and extended lifetimes in DNA-templated molecular dye aggregates

DNA templating is a useful strategy to control the positioning and aggregation of molecular dyes on a sub-nanometer scale, but sub-angstrom control is desirable for the precise tailoring of excitonic properties. Here, the authors show that templating squaraine dyes functionalized with rotaxane rings...
