Control of fluorescent molecular assemblies is an exciting area of research with large potential for various important applications, such as, fluorescence sensing/probing, cell imaging and monitoring drug-delivery. In the present contribution, we have demonstrated control on the extent of aggregation of a dyepolyelectrolyte assembly using a macrocyclic host molecule, sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD). Initially, a cationic molecular rotor based organic dye, Auramine-O (AuO), undergoes aggregation in the presence of an anionic polyelectrolyte, polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), and displays a broad intense new emission band along with large variation in its absorption features and excited-state lifetime. A manipulation of the monomer-aggregate equilibrium of the dye-polyelectrolyte assembly has been achieved by introducing a cyclodextrin based supramolecular host, SBE-β-CD, which leads to relocation of AuO molecules from polyelectrolyte (PSS) to upramolecular host cavity, owing to the formation of a host-guest complex between AuO and SBE-β-CD. A reversible control on this manipulation of monomer-aggregate equilibrium is further achieved by introducing a competitive guest for the host cavity i. e., 1-Adamantanol. Thus, we have demonstrated an interesting control on the dye-polyelectrolyte aggregate assembly using a supramolecular host molecule which open up exciting possibilities to construct responsive materials using a repertoire of various host-specific guest molecules.
