title: DNA-assisted white light emission through FRET.
abstract: We observed FRET between an excimer of a partially intercalated cyclophane and ethidium bromide, a classical intercalator in presence of DNA and by fine-tuning the molar concentrations of these three components, we could generate white light emission in the aqueous and non-aqueous media.
