Cool down and get it together! The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of a polymer containing pyrene units was controlled by a charge-transfer (CT) interaction with an electron-accepting effector (see picture). The appearance of CT bands enabled quantitative evaluation of the thermodynamics of the association. Copyright © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
