Water-soluble, highly fluorescent host-guest chromophore-cucurbit[8]uril supramolecular polymer bundles are investigated by polarized time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, structural methods, and quantum chemistry to fully reveal structural organization and heterogeneity but, in particular, energy-transfer dynamics, being of crucial importance for the design of supramolecular artificial light-harvesting systems.
