Sumario: | Multicolor luminescent portrayal of complexed arrays is indispensable for many aspects of science and technology. Nevertheless, challenges such as inaccessible readouts from opaque objects, a limited visible-light spectrum and restricted spectral resolution call for alternative approaches for multicolor representation. Here, we present a strategy for spatial COlor Display by Exploiting Host-guest Dynamics (CODE-HD), comprising a paramagnetic cavitand library and various guests. First, a set of lanthanide-cradled α-cyclodextrins (Ln-CDs) is designed to induce pseudo-contact shifts in the (19)F-NMR spectrum of Ln-CD-bound guest. Then, capitalizing on reversible host-guest binding dynamics and using magnetization-transfer (19)F-MRI, pseudo-colored maps of complexed arrays are acquired and applied in molecular-steganography scenarios, showing CODE-HD’s ability to generate versatile outputs for information encoding. By exploiting the widely shifted resonances induced by Ln-CDs, the guest versatility and supramolecular systems' reversibility, CODE-HD provides a switchable, polychromatic palette, as an advanced strategy for light-free, multicolor-mapping. |
