Abstract

We have prepd. org. nanocrystals of [2.2]paracyclophane (pCp) and tetrakis(4-pyridylcyclobutyl)[2.2]paracyclophane (tpcp) via sonochem. Both nanocrystals exhibit an enhanced fluorescence compared to dil. soln., while the tpcp nanocrystals also demonstrate a red-shifted fluorescence. [on SciFinder(R)]
