Supramolecular control of the 蟺-stacked configuration of aqueous phthalocyanine (Zn[Pc(SO3)4]) was achieved, allowing organization of a J-type slipped-cofacial dimer with per-O-methylated 伪-cyclodextrin (TMe-伪-CDx) by the aid of host鈥揼uest interactions. Pristine Zn[Pc(SO3)4] forms nonfluorescent face-to-face aggregates in water. The 蟺-stacked configuration was controlled in the slipped-cofacial dimer, which was formed as a shallow inclusion complex with TMe-伪-CDx, giving remarkably enhanced fluorescence with a very small Stokes shift. Organization of the J-type slipped-cofacial dimer as a 2:2 Zn[Pc(SO3)4]鈥揟Me-伪-CDx complex was achieved through 蟺-stacking of the unencapsulated segment of Zn[Pc(SO3)4] shallowly encapsulated by a small TMe-伪-CDx cavity.
