title: Unsymmetrical p-carborane backbone as a linker for donor-acceptor dyads.
abstract: Fluorescent nanorods: Donor-acceptor dyads based on novel unsymmetrically disubstituted closo-1,12-dicarbadecaboranes have been prepared in a completely controlled manner by using a three-step procedure. Dyads with different donor-acceptor spacing were thereby obtained. Efficient energy transfer from the donor to the acceptor was determined in fluid solution at room temperature.
