Abstract
A metal-organic supramolecular nanobelt was synthesized by quantitative self-assembling terpyridine-functionized tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and Cd2+, which only showed a weak emission both in solution or aggregated state. Nevertheless, nanobelt complex could be transferred to a fluorescence turn-on sensor to S2- by taking advantage of the structural transformation from nanobelt to its fluorescent ligand.
