The self-assembly of 3,6-disubstituted phenanthrene trimers with phosphodiester-bridges leads to the formation of supramolecular fibers. Previously, it was shown that these fibers act as an efficient light-harvesting antenna. So far, the acceptor was incorporated into an oligomer and added as such. Our new approach enables us to use various monomeric chromophores: the polyaromatic acceptor is added during the self-assembly process of the forming supramolecular polymer. Upon excitation of the phenanthrene units the energy is transferred to the acceptor, which emits the light in an increased intensity. Benzo(a)pyrene reached as one of the highest fluorescence quantum yield of 31% at an acceptor/phenanthrene ratio of 12 mol-%. The fibers were analyzed by microscopy (AFM, UV-vis, fluorescence). This allows us to detect small amounts of chromophores in an aqueous medium.
