title: Reversible molecular switch of acridine red by triarylpyridine-modified cyclodextrin.
abstract: A novel molecular switch based on the supramolecular complex of 2,4,6-triarylpyridine modified β-cyclodextrin and acridine red was successfully constructed in aqueous solution, displaying the controlled photophysical behaviors by the effect of supramolecular positive cooperativity and fluorescence resonance energy-transfer process.
