Abstract

The fluorescence properties of the silica gels based on tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)orthosilicate containing supramolecular complexes of the trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide were studied. For the first time the fluorescent gels with organic supramolecular complexes were synthesized by direct addition of cucurbit[6]uril and cucurbit[7]uril 4-trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide complexes into the reaction mixture. The comparison of spectral properties of free dye containing gels with complex containing ones showed complexes to be stable in the reaction conditions.
