What is it about?

Ability of N,N′-bis(glycinyl)-pyromellitic diimide to accomodate polyaromatic aromatic guests through stacking interactions are shown. Modification of conventional dimeric carboxylate template by solvent molecules such as methanol to accomodate polyaromatic guest molecules is shown.

Why is it important?

Removal of polyaromatic hydrocarbon is an environmentally important task; so as the study of fluorescence quenching of a polyaromatic hydrocarbon by a pi-stacking host. Both these aspects are depicted in this article.

Perspectives

Selective removal and detection of polyaromatic molecules by using simple host systems will continue to attract attention.
