Coordination-Assisted Assembly of 1-D Nanostructured Light-Harvesting Antenna

An efficient light-harvesting antenna was achieved via self-assembly of two distinct chromophores into nanoscale supramolecular coordination polymers (NSCPs). Efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer is favorable in the self-assembled 1-D nanostructure as a result of fast and efficient exciton migration in the ordered architecture.
