Phase‐Shifting Probes: Monitoring Based on Narrow‐Band Resonance Raman for “Phase‐Shifting” π‐Conjugated Polydiacetylene Vesicles upon Host–Guest Interaction and Thermal Stimuli (Small 24/2018)

Creating a new gadget to conventional analytical methods on π ‐conjugated materials is meaningful in improving quantitative recognition technologies. In article number 1800512 , Dong June Ahn and co‐workers explore quantified monitoring by means of narrow‐band resonance Raman scattering that analyzes phase‐shifting characteristics of π ‐conjugated polydiacetylene probes responding to various perturbation and host‐guest interactions. This approach provides a more general outcome compared to common colorimetric and fluorescent response methods that fail in certain cases of interaction.
