Achievement of enhanced solubility and improved optics in molecular complexes based on a sulfonate–pyridinium supramolecular synthon

Abstract

Complexes <bold>1–3</bold> aggregate as intriguing supramolecular assemblies and show enhanced solubility and optical properties <italic>vis-à-vis</italic> pristine components. <bold>3</bold> exhibits striking enhancement in solubility of 2350% <italic>via-a-vis</italic> 4-A-3-HNSA-2H.
