Abstract
Possessing a small size and C3-symmetrical rigid backbone, a coronene derivative was synthesized from β-cyclodextrins and hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene, and then a water-soluble and biocompatible nanographene/polysaccharide supramolecular assembly was successfully fabricated through noncovalent interactions between adamantly grafted hyaluronic acids and β-cyclodextrin-modified hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene. Moreover, the ternary supramolecular assembly showed not only a fluorescence imaging ability toward cancer cells but also good anticancer activity and low toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
