@article{10272/14634, year = {2016}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10272/14634}, abstract = {A method for the phototriggered release of a biogenic amine from the host–guest complex with the cucurbit[7]uril macrocycle in aqueous solution was devised. The approach exploits a photoinduced pH jump from 8 to 5, combined with the pH-dependent switching of the competitive capacity of a guest dye. The fluorescence fingerprint of the competitor can be used to monitor the amine release in the micromolar concentration regime.}, organization = {We acknowledge the funding from the Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (grants CTQ2011-28390 and CTQ2014-54729-C2-1-P for U.
