An Engineered Supramolecular Pathway for Enhanced Electrochemiluminescence

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A supramolecular electrochemiluminescent (ECL) system is presented in which cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) is covalently linked to [Ru(bpy)3]2+, forming a recognition‐responsive emitter. Host‒guest preorganization of tri‐n‐propylamine enables intramolecular ECL, boosting intensity by 162% compared to the standard system.
