Abstract
Growth in a confined environment: A protocol for the amorphous-to- crystalline transformation (ACT) of nanoparticles has been developed, the critical step being the partial confinement of the particles by fixing in a polymer thin film and solvent vapor fuming. The ACT of a diaminodicyanoquinodimethane-based nanoparticle is accompanied by substantial fluorescence enhancement and switching of the emission color. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
