Laponite-activated AIE supramolecular assembly with modulating multicolor luminescence for logic digital encryption and perfluorinated pollutant detection. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 258:116343. [PMID: 38718636 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Recently, the non-covalently activated supramolecular scaffold method has become a prominent research area in the field of intelligent materials. Here, the inorganic clay (LP) promoted the AIE properties of 4,4',4″,4‴-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayltetrakis(benzene-4,1-diyl))tetrakis(1-ethylpyridin-1-ium) (P-TPE), showing an astonishing 42-fold enhancement of the emission intensity of the yellow-green luminescence and a 34-fold increase of the quantum yield via organic-inorganic supramolecular strategy as well as the efficient light-harvesting properties (energy transfer efficiency up to 33 %) after doping with the dye receptor Rhodamine B. Furthermore, the full-color spectral regulation, including white light, was achieved by adjusting the ratio of the donor to the acceptor component and co-assembling with the carbon dots (CD). Interestingly, this TPE-based non-covalently activated full-color supramolecular light-harvesting system (LHS) could be achieved not only in aqueous media but also in the hydrogel and the solid state. More importantly, this panchromatic tunable supramolecular LHS exhibited the multi-mode and quadruple digital logic encryption property as well as the specific detection ability towards the perfluorobutyric acid and the perfluorobutanesulfonic acid, which are harmful to human health in drinking water. This result develops a simple, convenient and effective approach for the intelligent anti-counterfeiting and the pollutant sensing.

Abstract
The development of artificial light-harvesting systems mimicking the natural photosynthesis method is an ever-growing field of research. Numerous systems such as polymers, metal complexes, POFs, COFs, supramolecular frameworks etc. have been fabricated to accomplish more efficient energy transfer and storage. Among them, the supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) formed by non-covalent metal-ligand interaction, have shown the capacity to not only undergo single and multistep energy migration but also to utilize the harvested energy for a wide variety of applications such as photocatalysis, tunable emissive systems, encrypted anti-counterfeiting materials, white light emitters etc. This review sheds light on the light-harvesting behavior of both the 2D metallacycles and 3D metallacages where design ingenuity has been executed to afford energy harvesting by both donor ligands as well as metal acceptors.

Abstract
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the excited state of the donor to the ground state of the acceptor is one of the most important fluorescence mechanisms and has wide applications in light-harvesting systems, light-mediated therapy, bioimaging, optoelectronic devices, and information security fields. The phenomenon of sequential energy transfer in natural photosynthetic systems provides great inspiration for scientists to make full use of light energy. In recent years, discrete supramolecular assemblies (DSAs) have been successively constructed to incorporate donor and multiple acceptors, and to achieve multi-step FRET between them. This perspective describes recent advances in the fabrication and application of DSAs with multi-step FRET. These DSAs are categorized based on the non-covalent scaffolds, such as amphiphilic nanoparticles, host-guest assemblies, metal-coordination scaffolds, and biomolecular scaffolds. This perspective will also outline opportunities and future challenges in this research area.

Abstract
The development of bright and long-lived aqueous room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials holds paramount importance in broadening the application scope of RTP material system. However, the conventional RTP materials usually exhibit low efficiency and short lifetime in aqueous solution. Herein, an in situ host-guest strategy is proposed to achieve cyanuric acid (CA)-derived phosphorescent carbon nitrogen dots (CNDs) composite (CNDs@CA) that demonstrates a significant enhancement of both quantum yield (QY) and lifetime mediated by water. Detailed investigations reveal that the robust hydrogen bonding networks between CNDs@CA and water effectively stabilize triplet excitons and suppress nonradiative decays, as well as facilitate efficient energy transfer from CA to CNDs, thereby prolonging the lifetime and enhancing the efficiency of RTP. The phosphorescent QY and lifetime of CNDs@CA can be increased to 26.89% (3.9-fold increase) and 951.25 ms (5.5-fold increase), respectively, with the incorporation of 50 wt% water under ambient conditions. Even in fully aqueous environments (with up to 400 wt% water added), CNDs@CA exhibits persistent water-boosted RTP properties, demonstrating exceptional stability. The robust water-boosted RTP property of CNDs@CA in aqueous solutions presents significant potential for high signal-to-noise ratio afterglow bioimaging as well as advanced information encryption.

Abstract
Light-harvesting is an indispensable process in photosynthesis, and researchers have been exploring various structural scaffolds to create artificial light-harvesting systems. However, achieving high donor/acceptor ratios for efficient energy transfer remains a challenge as excitons need to travel longer diffusion lengths within the donor matrix to reach the acceptor. Here, we report a polymeric supramolecular column-based light-harvesting platform inspired by the natural light-harvesting of purple photosynthetic bacteria to address this issue. The supramolecular column is designed as a discotic columnar liquid crystalline polymer and acts as the donor, with the acceptor intercalated within it. The modular columnar design enables an ultrahigh donor/acceptor ratio of 20000:1 and an antenna effect exceeding 100. Moreover, the spatial confinement within the supramolecular columns facilitates control over the energy transfer process, enabling dynamic full-color tunable emission for information encryption applications with spatiotemporal regulation security.

Abstract
Aqueous supramolecular long-lived near-infrared (NIR) material is highly attractive but still remains great challenge. Herein, we report cucurbit[8]uril confinement-based secondary coassembly for achieving NIR phosphorescence energy transfer in water, which is fabricated from dicationic dodecyl-chain-bridged 4-(4-bromophenyl)-pyridine derivative (G), cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), and polyelectrolyte poly(4-styrene-sulfonic sodium) (PSS) via the hierarchical confinement strategy. As compared to the dumbbell-shaped G, the formation of unprecedented linear polypseudorotaxane G⊂CB[8] with nanofiber morphology engenders an emerging phosphorescent emission at 510 nm due to the macrocyclic confinement effect. Moreover, benefiting from the following secondary assembly confinement, such tight polypseudorotaxane G⊂CB[8] can further assemble with anionic polyelectrolyte PSS to yield uniform spherical nanoparticle, thereby significantly strengthening phosphorescence performance with an extended lifetime (i.e., 2.39 ms, c.f., 45.0 μs). Subsequently, the organic dye Rhodamine 800 serving as energy acceptor can be slightly doped into the polyelectrolyte assembly, which enables the occurrence of efficient phosphorescence energy transfer process with efficiency up to 80.1% at a high donor/acceptor ratio, and concurrently endows the final system with red-shifted and long-lived NIR emission (710 nm). Ultimately, the as-prepared assembly is successfully exploited as versatile imaging agent for NIR window labeling and detecting in living cells.

Abstract
It is still challenging to develop multi-step cascaded artificial light-harvesting systems (ALHSs) with tunable efficiency. Here, we designed novel cascaded ALHSs with AIE-active metallacycles as the light-harvesting antenna, Eosin Y (ESY) and sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) as conveyors, near-infrared emissive chlorin-e6 (Ce6) as the final acceptor. The close contact and fair spectral overlap between donor and acceptor molecules at each level ensured the efficient sequential three-step energy transfer. The excited energy was sequentially and efficiently funneled to Ce6 along the cascaded line MTPEPt1 → ESY → SR101 → Ce6. Additionally, a unique strategy for regulating the efficiency of ALHS was illustrated by adjusting hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
Survival and infection of pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), pose a serious threat to human health. Efficient methods for recognizing and quantifying low levels of bacteria are imperiously needed. Herein, we introduce a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanoprobe for ratiometric detection of S. aureus. The nanoprobe utilizes blue-emitting 7-hydroxycoumarin-4-acetic acid (HCAA) encapsulated inside zirconium (Zr)-based MOFs as the energy donor and green-emitting fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as the energy acceptor. Especially, vancomycin (VAN) is employed as the recognition moiety to bind to the cell wall of S. aureus, leading to the disassembly of VAN-PEG-FITC from MOF HCAA@UiO-66. As the distance between the donor and acceptor increases, the donor signal correspondingly increases as the FRET signal decreases. By calculating the fluorescence intensity ratio, S. aureus can be quantified with a dynamic range of 1.05 × 103-1.05 × 107 CFU mL-1 and a detection limit of 12 CFU mL-1. Due to the unique high affinity of VAN to S. aureus, the nanoprobe shows high selectivity and sensitivity to S. aureus, even in real samples like lake water, orange juice, and saliva. The FRET-based ratiometric fluorescence bacterial detection method demonstrated in this work has a prospect in portable application and may reduce the potential threat of pathogens to human health.

[PMID: 37452485 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202308210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
A series of covalent organic cages built from fluorophores capable of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) were elegantly prepared through the reduction of preorganized M2 (LA )3 (LB )2 -type metallacages, simultaneously taking advantage of the synthetic accessibility and well-defined shapes and sizes of metallacages, the good chemical stability of the covalent cages as well as the bright emission of AIE fluorophores. Moreover, the covalent cages could be further post-synthetically modified into an amide-functionalized cage with a higher quantum yield. Furthermore, these presented covalent cages proved to be good energy donors and were used to construct light-harvesting systems employing Nile Red as an energy acceptor. These light-harvesting systems displayed efficient energy transfer and relatively high antenna effect, which enabled their use as efficient photocatalysts for a dehalogenation reaction. This research provides a new avenue for the development of luminescent covalent cages for light-harvesting and photocatalysis.

Abstract
Combination of platinum(II) metallacycles and photodynamic inactivation presents a promising antibacterial strategy. Herein, a cascaded artificial light-capturing system is developed in which an aggregation-induced emission-active platinum(II) metallacycle (PtTPEM) is utilized as the antenna, sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) as a key conveyor, and the near-infrared emissive photosensitizer Chlorin-e6 (Ce6) as the final energy acceptor. The well-dispersed Ce6 in the proximity of energy donors not only avoids self-quenching in the physiological environment but also contributes to energy transfer from donor to acceptor, thereby significantly improving the 1 O2 generation ability of the light-harvesting system under white light irradiation. By integrating the platinum(II) metallacycle and 1 O2 , a more efficient synergistic antibacterial effect is achieved at low concentrations, along with a significant decrease in dark toxicity caused by PtTPEM.

Abstract
Artificial light-harvesting systems, an elegant way to capture, transfer and utilize solar energy, have attracted great attention in recent years. As the primary step of natural photosynthesis, the principle of light-harvesting systems has been intensively investigated, which is further employed for artificial construction of such systems. Supramolecular self-assembly is one of the feasible methods for building artificial light-harvesting systems, which also offers an advantageous pathway for improving light-harvesting efficiency. Many artificial light-harvesting systems based on supramolecular self-assembly have been successfully constructed at the nanoscale with extremely high donor/acceptor ratios, energy transfer efficiency and the antenna effect, which manifests that self-assembled supramolecular nanosystems are indeed a viable way for constructing efficient light-harvesting systems. Non-covalent interactions of supramolecular self-assembly provide diverse approaches to improve the efficiency of artificial light-harvesting systems. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in artificial light-harvesting systems based on self-assembled supramolecular nanosystems. The construction, modulation, and applications of self-assembled supramolecular light-harvesting systems are presented, and the corresponding mechanisms, research prospects and challenges are also briefly highlighted and discussed.

Abstract
In the present work, we designed and synthesized a cationic cyano-substituted p-phenylenevinylene derivative (PPTA), which can form supramolecular assemblies through electrostatic interaction with a type of polyelectrolyte material anionic guar gum (GP5A). A polyelectrolyte-based artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) was constructed by selecting a fluorescent dye sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) that matched its energy level as an energy acceptor. The energy harvested by the acceptors was used in the aqueous phase cross dehydrogenation coupling (CDC) reaction with a yield of up to 87%. In addition, the general applicability of polyelectrolyte materials to build artificial LHS was demonstrated by three other polyelectrolyte materials sodium polyphenylene sulfonate (RSS), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), in which the CDC reaction was also carried out by these three LHSs and obtained high yields. This work not only provides a new method to construct LHSs by using polyelectrolyte materials, but also provides a beneficial exploration for further applying the energy harvested in LHSs to the field of photocatalysis in an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Developing an artificial dynamic nanoscale molecular machine that dissipatively self-assembles far from equilibrium is fundamentally important but is significantly challenging. Herein, we report dissipatively self-assembling light-activated convertible pseudorotaxanes (PRs) that show tunable fluorescence and enable deformable nano-assemblies. A pyridinium-conjugated sulfonato-merocyanine derivative (EPMEH) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) form the 2EPMEH ⊂ CB[8] [3]PR in a 2:1 stoichiometry, which phototransforms into a transient spiropyran containing 1:1 EPSP ⊂ CB[8] [2]PR when exposed to light. The transient [2]PR thermally relaxes (reversibly) to the [3]PR in the dark accompanied by periodic fluorescence changes that include near-infrared emission. Moreover, octahedral and spherical nanoparticles are formed through the dissipative self-assembly of the two PRs, and the Golgi apparatus is dynamically imaged using fluorescent dissipative nano-assemblies.

Abstract
The host-guest strategy presents an ideal way to achieve efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) by forcing close proximity between an energy donor and acceptor. Herein, by encapsulating the negatively charged acceptor dyes eosin Y (EY) or sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) in the cationic tetraphenylethene-based emissive cage-like host donor Zn-1, host-guest complexes were formed that exhibit highly efficient FRET. The energy transfer efficiency of Zn-1⊃EY reached 82.4%. To better verify the occurrence of the FRET process and make full use of the harvested energy, Zn-1⊃EY was successfully used as a photochemical catalyst for the dehalogenation of α-bromoacetophenone. Furthermore, the emission color of the host-guest system Zn-1⊃SR101 could be adjusted to exhibit bright white-light emission with the CIE coordinates (0.32, 0.33). This work details a promising approach to enhance the efficiency of the FRET process by the creation of a host-guest system between the cage-like host and dye acceptor, thus serving as a versatile platform for mimicking natural light-harvesting systems.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, the design and construction of high-efficiency artificial light-harvesting systems (LHSs) involving multistep fluorescence-resonance energy transfer (FRET) processes have gradually received considerable attention within wide fields ranging from supramolecular chemistry to chemical biology and even materials science. Herein, through coordination-driven self-assembly, a novel tetragonal prismatic metallacage featuring a FRET process using tetraphenylethene (TPE) units as donors and BODIPY units as acceptors has been conveniently synthesized. Subsequently, taking advantage of supramolecular hydrophobic interactions, a promising artificial LHS involving two-step FRET processes from TPE to BODIPY and then to Nile Red (NiR) has been successfully fabricated in an aqueous solution using the FRET-featuring metallacage, NiR, and an amphiphilic polymer (mPEG-DSPE). Notably, this obtained aqueous LHS exhibits highly efficient photocatalytic activity in the dehalogenation of a bromoacetophenone derivate. This study provides a unique strategy for fabricating artificial LHSs in aqueous solutions with multistep FRET processes and further promotes the future development of mimicking the photosynthesis process.

Abstract
A method for preparing new artificial light-harvesting systems (ALHSs) based on supramolecular metallogels was proposed. Various metal ions were introduced into a solution of a bi-benzimidazole compound (P) in ethylene glycol, and P exhibited high selectivity toward Al3+, as indicated by the noticeable red shift (49 nm) observed in the fluorescence spectra of P after the addition of Al3+. Interestingly, the gelator, P, could self-assemble into a stable supramolecular gel (P-gel) that exhibits strong aggregation-induced emission in ethylene glycol. Thus, two ALHSs were successfully prepared in a gel environment. The P-Al3+ assembly acts as the donor in the ALHSs, while BODIPY 505/515 (BDP) and rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), which are loaded onto the P-Al3+ assembly, act as acceptors. In these two diverse systems, the occurrence of an energy transfer process is confirmed from the P-Al3+ assembly to BDP and Rh6G. The findings of this study will enable the design and fabrication of ALHSs.

Abstract
It remains a great challenge to design and synthesize organic luminescent molecules with strong emission in both dilute solution and aggregate state. Herein, an organic cage with dodecadansyl groups (D-RCC1) from an easy sulfonation reaction displays strong emissive behavior in dilute organic solution with a quantum yield of 42%. Moreover, D-RCC1 exhibits an ultrahigh quantum yield of 92% in the solid state, which is more than 3 times that of 27% for the model compound D-DEA. The results of the experiment and theoretical calculation show that the three-dimensional symmetrical skeleton of the organic cage anchored evenly by multiple dye molecules effectively satisfies both high local density and a symmetrical distribution of chromophores, which prevents the interaction of dye molecules and ensures that dye molecules have strong emission in both single-molecule and aggregate states.

Abstract
Artificial light-harvesting systems (ALHSs), which are closely related to Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), are among the most attractive scientific topics during the past few decades. Specifically, binary ALHSs that are composed of a fluid donor and acceptor have a simplified composition and high number density of the donor units. However, largely due to the difficulty in obtaining a fluid donor, investigation of these systems is still quite limited, especially for the ionic systems. Herein, we report a new type of binary ALHS using an ionic naphthalimide (NPI) derivative as a donor, which shows greatly improved photoluminescence for its bicontinuous liquid structure. When blending with an acceptor such as rhodamine 6G or trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-methylpyridinium iodide, efficient FRET was confirmed by both experimental results and molecular dynamics simulations, with an energy transfer efficiency up to ∼90%. Tunable color, including white-light emission, was achieved by tuning the acceptor/donor ratio, opening the door for a variety of applications such as light-emitting diodes and photoluminescent inks.

Abstract
Solid-state host-guest complexation shows great potential in the fabrication of chiroptical and phosphorescent materials. Developing chiral hosts toward achiral guests with a wide guest scope would expand the chiroptical application, which however remains a major challenge. Here, we report the steroid-aromatic compound complexation in the solid state that could realize effective chirality transfer, circularly polarized luminescence, and room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Progesterone shows cocrystallization behavior toward a wide scope of guests through CH-π interaction, which also offers a rigid yet chiral microenvironment to entrap aromatic luminophores within the cavities or channels. Depending on the geometry of the guests, the handedness of the Cotton effects and circularly polarized luminescence could be tuned. Host-guest complexation not only gave rise to Cotton effects and circularly polarized luminescence but also stabilized the triplet state of bromo-compounds to achieve RTP and circularly polarized phosphorescence. This work first illustrates the application of steroid complexation in the chiroptical and phosphorescent materials, which shows potential in the display and information aspects.

Abstract
Dynamic sequential control of photoluminescence by supramolecular approaches has become a great issue in supramolecular chemistry. However, developing a systematic strategy to construct polychromatic photoluminescent supramolecular self-assemblies for improving the efficiency and sensitivity of artificial light-harvesting systems still remains a challenge. Here, a series of amphiphilicity-controlled supramolecular self-assemblies with polychromatic fluorescence based on lower-rim hexyl-modified sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4A6) and N-alkyl-modified p-phenylene divinylpyridiniums (PVPn, n = 2-7) as efficient light-harvesting platforms is reported. PVPn shows wide ranges of polychromatic fluorescence by co-assembling with SC4A6, whose emission trends significantly depend on the modified alkyl-chains of PVPn. The formed PVPn-SC4A6 co-assemblies as light-harvesting platforms are extremely sensitive for transferring the energy to two near-infrared emissive acceptors, Nile blue (NiB) and Rhodamine 800. After optimizing the amphiphilicity of PVPn-SC4A6 systems, the PVPn-SC4A6-NiB light-harvesting systems achieve an ultrasensitive working concentration for NiB (2 nm) and an ultrahigh antenna effect up to 91.0. Furthermore, the two different kinds of light-harvesting nanoparticles exhibit good performance on near-infrared imaging in the Golgi apparatus and mitochondria, respectively.

Abstract
Noncovalent macrocycle-confined supramolecular purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is a current research hotspot. Herein, a high-efficiency noncovalent polymerization-activated near-infrared (NIR)-emissive RTP-harvesting system in aqueous solution based on the stepwise confinement of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and β-cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid (HACD), is reported. Compared with the dodecyl-chain-bridged 6-bromoisoquinoline derivative (G), the dumbbell-shaped assembly G⊂CB[7] presents an appeared complexation-induced RTP signal at 540 nm via the first confinement of CB[7]. Subsequently, benefitting from the stepwise confinement encapsulation of the β-cyclodextrin cavity, the subsequent noncovalent polymerization of the binary G⊂CB[7] assembly enabled by HACD can contribute to the further-enhanced RTP emission intensity approximately eight times in addition to an increased lifetime from 59.0 µs to 0.581 ms. Moreover, upon doping a small amount of two types of organic dyes, Nile blue or tetrakis(4-sulfophenyl)porphyrin as an acceptor into the supramolecular confinement assembly G⊂CB[7] @ HACD, efficient RTP energy transfer occurs accompanied by a long-lived NIR-emitting performance (680 and 710 nm) with a high donor/acceptor ratio. Intriguingly, the prepared RTP-harvesting system is successfully applied for targeted NIR imaging of living tumor cells by utilizing the targeting ability of hyaluronic acid, which provides a new strategy to create advanced water-soluble NIR phosphorescent materials.

Abstract
The construction of supramolecular multivalent assemblies with unique photoluminescence behaviors and biological functions has become a research hot spot recently in the biomaterial field. Herein, we report an adaptive supramolecular assembly via a multivalent co-assembly strategy prepared in two stages by using an adamantane-connected pyrenyl pyridinium derivative (APA2), sulfonated aluminum phthalocyanine (PcS), and folic acid-modified β-cyclodextrin (FA-CD) for efficient dual-organelle targeted photodynamic cancer cell ablation. Benefiting from π-π and electrostatic interactions, APA2 and PcS could first assemble into non-fluorescent irregular nanoaggregates because of the heterodimer aggregation-induced quenching and then secondarily assemble with FA-CD to afford targeted spherical nanoparticles (NPs) with an average diameter of around 50 nm, which could be specifically taken up by HeLa cancer cells through endocytosis in comparison with 293T normal cells. Intriguingly, such multivalent NPs could adaptively disaggregate in an intracellular physiological environment of cancer cells and further respectively and selectively accumulate in mitochondria and lysosomes, which not only displayed near-infrared two-organelle localization in situ but also aroused efficient singlet oxygen generation under light irradiation to effectively eliminate cancer cells up to 99%. This supramolecular multivalent assembly with an adaptive feature in a specific cancer cell environment provides a feasible strategy for precise organelle-targeted imaging and an efficiently synergetic photodynamic effect in situ for cancer cell ablation.

Abstract
A two-step sequential phosphorescence harvesting system with ultralarge Stokes shift and near-infrared (NIR) emission at 825 nm is successfully constructed by racemic 1,2-diaminocyclohexan-derived 6-bromoisoquinoline (BQ), cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), and amphipathic sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4AD) via cascaded assembly strategy in aqueous solution. In virtue of the confinement effect of CB[8] with rigid cavity, BQ can generate an emerging phosphorescent emission at 555 nm. Subsequently, the binary BQ⊂CB[8] further assemblies with SC4AD to form close-packed spherical aggregate, which contributes to the dramatic enhancement of phosphorescence emission intensity ≈30 times with prolonged lifetime from 21.3 µs to 0.364 ms. Notably, the BQ⊂CB[8]@SC4AD assembly can serve as an energy donor to conduct stepwise phosphorescence harvesting process through successive introduction of primary acceptors, cyanine 5 (Cy5) or nile blue (NiB), and secondary acceptor, heptamethine cyanine (IR780). The final aggregate with remarkable ultralarge Stokes shift (≈525 nm) and long-lived NIR photoluminescence (PL) emission at 825 nm is further employed as imaging agent for NIR cell labeling.

Abstract
Relying on the supramolecular self-assembly of twisted cucurbit[14]urils (tQ[14]), anthracene derivatives (ADPy), Nile red (NiR), and rhodamine B (RB), highly efficient light-harvesting systems have been successfully designed in an aqueous medium. The addition of tQ[14] causes ADPy to aggregate through supramolecular self-assembly to form a supramolecular polymer (ADPy@tQ[14]) with excellent aggregation-induced fluorescence and an interesting spherical external morphology, making it a remarkable energy donor. Consequently, efficient energy-transfer processes have occurred between ADPy@tQ[14] assembly and NiR and RB, which both serve as effective energy acceptors while being loaded onto ADPy@tQ[14]. In the case of NiR, the energy-transfer efficiency is up to 72.45%, and the antenna effect is near 55.4 at a donor/acceptor ratio of 100:1, making it close to the light-harvesting systems in nature. As a result, effective water-soluble artificial light-harvesting systems are showing enormous prospective as versatile platforms for simulating photosynthesis.

Abstract
Using green chemistry to control chirality at hierarchical levels as well as chiroptical activities endows with new opportunities to the development of multiple functions. Here, the four-component Ugi reaction is introduced for the general and precise optical chirality sensing of amines as well as the surface nanoengineering of chiral soft self-assemblies. To overcome the relatively weak Cotton effects, direct synthesis of a folded peptide structure on a rotatable ferrocene core with axial chirality was accomplished from chiral amine, 1,1'-ferrocenyl dicarboxylic acid, formaldehyde and isocyanide. Enhanced Cotton effects benefiting from the folded structure allow for the precise and quantitative sensing of natural and synthetic chiral amines covering alkyl, aromatic amines and amino acid derivatives. In addition, aqueous reaction enables the modification of amine-bearing dye to microfibers self-assembled from π-conjugated amino acids. Surface dye-modification via Ugi reaction barely changes the pristine morphology, showing non-invasive properties in contrast to dye staining, which is applicable in soft nano/microarchitectures from self-assembly. This work which combines the four-component Ugi reaction to enable precise ee% detection and surface nanoengineering of soft chiral assemblies sheds light on the advanced application of green chemistry to chirality science.

Abstract
Oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) (OPV)-based luminophores show versatile luminescence properties based on their structural and packing arrangements, and however have seldomly been utilized in fabricating chiroptical materials. Here, we report a co-assembly strategy to introduce hydrophilic chiral amines into OPV-appended carboxylic acids via salt-bridge type hydrogen bonds. The coassembly in aqueous media allows for efficient chirality transfer with chiroptical activities. The participation of chiral amines altered the aromatic stacking from H- to J-type, which greatly enhanced the luminescence of the OPV compounds and facilitated the emergence of Cotton effects as well as circularly polarized luminescence. This work demonstrates the successful coassembly of OPV luminophores into chiral assemblies with tunable optical activity, showing potential for chiroptical application in optical chirality sensing.

Abstract
Multicharged cyclodextrin (CD) supramolecular assemblies, including those based on positively/negatively charged modified mono-6-deoxy-CDs, per-6-deoxy-CDs, and random 2,3,6-deoxy-CDs, as well as parent CDs binding positively/negatively charged guests, have been extensively applied in chemistry, materials science, medicine, biological science, catalysis, and other fields. In this review, we primarily focus on summarizing the recent advances in positively/negatively charged CDs and parent CDs encapsulating positively/negatively charged guests, especially the construction process of supramolecular assemblies and their applications. Compared with uncharged CDs, multicharged CDs display remarkably high antiviral and antibacterial activity as well as efficient protein fibrosis inhibition. Meanwhile, charged CDs can interact with oppositely charged dyes, drugs, polymers, and biomacromolecules to achieve effective encapsulation and aggregation. Consequently, multicharged CD supramolecular assemblies show great advantages in improving drug-delivery efficiency, the luminescence properties of materials, molecular recognition and imaging, and the toughness of supramolecular hydrogels, in addition to enabling the construction of multistimuli-responsive assemblies. These features are anticipated to not only promote the development of CD-based supramolecular chemistry but also contribute to the rapid exploitation of these assemblies in diverse interdisciplinary applications.

Abstract
Artificial supramolecular light-harvesting systems have expanded various properties on photoluminescence, enabling promising applications on cell imaging, especially for imaging in organelles. Supramolecular light-harvesting systems have been used for imaging in some organelles such as lysosome, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondrion, but developing a supramolecular light-harvesting platform for imaging two organelles synchronously still remains a great challenge. Here, we report a series of lower-rim dodecyl-modified sulfonato-calix[4]arene-mediated supramolecular light-harvesting platforms for efficient light-harvesting from three naphthalene diphenylvinylpyridiniums containing acceptors, Nile Red, and Nile Blue. All of the constructed supramolecular light-harvesting systems possess high light-harvesting efficiency. Furthermore, when the two acceptors are loaded simultaneously in a single light-harvesting donor system for imaging in human prostate cancer cells, organelle imaging in lysosome and Golgi apparatus can be realized at the same time with distinctive wavelength emission. Nile Red receives the light-harvesting energy from the donors, reaching orange emissions (625 nm) in lysosome while Nile Blue shows a near-infrared light-harvesting emission at 675 nm in Golgi apparatus in the same cells. Thus, the light harvesting system provides a pathway for synchronously efficient cell imaging in two distinct organelles with a single type of photoluminescent supramolecular nanoparticles.

Dai X, Hu Y, Sun Y, Huo M, Dong X, Liu Y. A Highly Efficient Phosphorescence/Fluorescence Supramolecular Switch Based on a Bromoisoquinoline Cascaded Assembly in Aqueous Solution. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2022; 9:e2200524. [PMID: 35285166 PMCID: PMC9108601 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202200524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Despite ongoing research into photocontrolled supramolecular switches, reversible photoswitching between room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and delayed fluorescence is rare in the aqueous phase. Herein, an efficient RTP-fluorescence switch based on a cascaded supramolecular assembly is reported, which is constructed using a 6-bromoisoquinoline derivative (G3 ), cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4A4), and a photochromic spiropyran (SP) derivative. Benefiting from the confinement effect of CB[7], initial complexation with CB[7] arouses an emerging RTP signal at 540 nm for G3 . This structure subsequently coassembles with amphiphilic SC4A4 to form tight spherical nanoparticles, thereby further facilitating RTP emission (≈12 times) in addition to a prolonged lifetime (i.e., 1.80 ms c.f., 50.1 µs). Interestingly, following cascaded assembly with a photocontrolled energy acceptor (i.e., SP), the efficient light-driven RTP energy transfer occurs when SP is transformed to its fluorescent merocyanine (MC) state. Ultimately, this endows the final system with an excellent RTP-fluorescence photoswitching property accompanied by multicolor tunable long-lived emission. Moreover, this switching process can be reversibly modulated over multiple cycles under alternating UV and visible photoirradiation. Finally, the prepared switch is successfully applied to photocontrolled multicolor cell labeling to offer a new approach for the design and fabrication of novel advanced light-responsive RTP materials in aqueous environments.

Abstract
The development of controllable artificial light-harvesting systems based on liquid crystal (LC) materials, i.e., anisotropic fluids, remains a challenge. Herein, an annulene-based discotic LC compound 6 with a saddle-shaped cyclooctatetrathiophene core has been synthesized to construct a tunable light-harvesting platform. The LC material shows a typical aggregation-induced emission, which can act as a suitable light-harvesting donor. By loading Nile red (NiR) as an acceptor, an artificial light-harvesting system is achieved. Relying on the thermal-responsive self-assembling ability of 6 with variable molecular order, the efficiency of such 6-NiR system can be controlled by temperature. This light-harvesting system works sensitively at a high donor/acceptor ratio as 1000 : 1, and exhibits a high antenna effect (39.1) at a 100 : 1 donor/acceptor ratio. This thermochromic artificial light-harvesting LC system could find potential applications in smart devices employing soft materials.

Abstract
Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitch is a new and promising family of photochromic molecules and has shown superior performance as a smart trigger in stimulus-responsive materials. During the past few decades, the DAE family has achieved a leap from simple molecules to functional molecules and developed toward validity as a universal switching building block. In recent years, the introduction of DAE into an assembly system has been an attractive strategy that enables the photochromic behavior of the building blocks to be manifested at the level of the entire system, beyond the DAE unit itself. This assembly-based strategy will bring many unexpected results that promote the design and manufacture of a new generation of advanced materials. Here, recent advances in the design and fabrication of diarylethene as a trigger in materials science, chemistry, and biomedicine are reviewed.

Abstract
Intramolecular folding is a strategy to construct aryl chiral compounds with applications in chiroptical materials and asymmetrical catalysts. However, beyond polarity the role of solvent in controlling the folded chirality is ambiguous. Here, we report a simple folding protocol to build chiral benzimidazole skeleton with propeller chirality, which could be adaptive to chloroform (CHCl3) with high selectivity. Benzimidazole conjugated with diamino acid arms underwent folding driven by hydrogen bonds, exhibiting propeller chirality of which handedness could be tuned by the absolute chirality of amino acids. Reversible unfolding/folding behavior was realized by heating/cooling process, giving rise to the thermomediated chiroptical switch. Among up to 32 common solvents, chloroform exclusively inverted the propeller chirality. The geometry and hydrogen bonding sites of chloroform allow rearrangement of diamino acid arms into an opposite packing propensity. The chloroform behaves as an invasive linker between diamino acid arms to replace the pristine hydrogen bonds. This work reports the fabrication of chiral aryl compounds by simple folding, which shows the adaptiveness to the chloroform. It demonstrates that not only polarity but also the active participation of solvent could change the chirality and optical activities of small folded molecules.

Abstract
The construction of highly effective phosphorescence energy transfer capturing system still remains great challenge in aqueous phase. Herein, a high-efficiency supramolecular purely organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP)-capturing system via a secondary assembly strategy by taking advantage of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and amphiphilic calixarene (SC4AH) is reported. Comparing with free bromonaphthalene-connected methoxyphenyl pyridinium salt (G), G⊂CB[8] exhibits an emerging RTP emission peak at 530 nm. Moreover, G⊂CB[8] further interacts with SC4AH to form the ternary assembly G⊂CB[8] @ SC4AH accompanied by remarkably enhanced RTP emission. Interestingly, RTP-capturing systems with delayed near-infrared (NIR) emissive performance (635, 675 nm) are feasibly acquired by introducing Nile Red (NiR) or Nile Blue (NiB) as the acceptor into hydrophobic layer of G⊂CB[8] @ SC4AH, possessing ultrahigh antenna effects (352.9, 123.5) at a high donor/acceptor ratio (150:1, 300:1). More importantly, cell experiments indicate that G⊂CB[8] @ SC4AH/NiB not only hold low cytotoxicity but also can successfully realize NIR lysosome-targeted imaging of A549 cancer cells. This RTP-capturing system of delayed NIR emission via multistage assembly strategy offers a new approach for NIR imaging in living cells.

Abstract
Light-harvesting, which involves the conversion of sunlight into chemical energy by natural systems such as plants, bacteria, is one of the most universal routine activities in nature. Thus far, various artificial light-harvesting systems (LHSs) have been fabricated toward solar energy utilization through mimicking natural photosynthesis in simplified and altered ways. Macrocycles are supramolecular hosts with unique cavities, in which specific guest molecules can be recognized based on non-covalent interactions. They have been widely employed in constructing LHSs due to their ability to form supramolecular assembly and dynamic molecular activity. In this review, we mainly focus on some representative examples reported by our group and other groups. Specifically, the fabrication of LHSs and their related discussions, such as a high donor/acceptor ratio, driving force for the formation of supramolecular assemblies and energy transfer mechanisms using different water-soluble macrocycles such as cyclodextrins (CD), pillararenes (PA), calixarenes (CA), cucurbiturils (CB), and other macrocycles will be included. In addition, how the resulting supramolecular self-assembled LHSs could be potentially utilized for photocatalysis, sensing, and imaging is also explained in detail. Challenges and developing trends for photochemical solar energy conversion will also be presented.

Abstract
On the basis of cyclotrixylohydroquinoylene (CTX), a novel water-soluble phospholate-based CTX derivative (WPCTX) was prepared with facile synthetic procedure and satisfying yield. Several model guest molecules were selected to investigate WPCTX's host-guest properties. Based on the study of the host and model guest complexation, a tetraphenylethylene derivative from model guest was employed as a guest molecule (G) to form WPCTX⊃G nanoparticles (NPs) with WPCTX through further supramolecular self-assembly in water. Moreover, a hydrophobic fluorescent dye, Eosin Y(ESY) or Nile red (NiR), was encapsulated in WPCTX⊃G NPs to construct two types of artificial light-harvesting systems. Their high antenna effect demonstrated such NPs successfully mimicked light-harvesting systems in nature.

Abstract
Fluorescent chemosensors represent fast response to analytes with pronounced luminescent variations. They are promising as potential candidates in controlling luminescence and chiroptical activities of self-assembled chiral systems, which however have not been accomplished to date. We present a coassembled multiple component system that could respond to SO2 derivatives, giving rise to dynamic aggregation behaviors and switchable luminescence as well as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Cholesteryl-naphthalimide and coumarin derivatives coassemble into vesicles and nanohelices under the solvent strategy, behaving as energy transfer donor and accepter respectively. Energy transfer enables CPL transition from green to red depending on the molar fraction. After the addition of SO2 derivatives, hypochromic shifts occur to CPL due to the nucleophilic addition reaction to coumarin domain, hindering energy transfer and allow for the emergence of pristine luminescence. Here, we show a protocol to control over luminescence and chiroptical features of supramolecular chiral self-assemblies using fluorescent chemosensors.

Abstract
Photosynthesis involves light-harvesting complexes where an array of antenna pigment channels the absorbed solar energy to the reaction centre of a photosystem. This work reports a supramolecular dendrimer-dye assembly that mimics the natural light-harvesting mechanism. A dendrimeric molecule based on two-fluorophores has been constructed with three coumarin units at the end of three long arms and a 7-diethylaminocoumarin unit at the interior. The molecule self-aggregates in water into spherical micelles, which can encapsulate a rose-bengal dye (RB). On excitation, peripheral coumarin units shuttled the energy to the loaded RB dye reaction center via a two-step cascade resonance energy transfer (RET). The energy absorbed in the periphery is funnelled efficiently, resulting in a strong emission from the dye that resembles an energy funnel. The energy transfer cascade has been studied with both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. Molecular dynamics simulations of the self-assembled aggregates in water were also in agreement with the experimental observations.

Abstract
Detecting and quantifying intracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are a critical step in resolving a cancer diagnostic and resolving the ensemble of gene products that orchestrate the living state of cells. However, the nanoprobe for detecting low abundance miRNAs in cell cytosol is restricted by either the "one-to-one" signal-trigger model or difficulty for cytosol delivery. To address these challenges, we designed a light-harvesting nanoantenna-based nanoprobe, which directs excitation energy to a single molecule to sensitively detect cytosolic miRNA. With light irradiation, the light-harvesting nanoantenna effectively disrupted lysosomal structures by generation of reactive oxygen species, substantially achieved cytosol delivery. The nanoantenna containing > 4000 donor dyes can efficiently transfer excitation energy to one or two acceptors with 99% efficiency, leading to unprecedented signal amplification and biosensing sensitivity. The designed nanoantenna can quantify cytosolic miR-210 at zeptomolar level. The fluorescence lifetime of the donor exhibited good relationship with miR-210 concentration in the range of 0.032 to 2.97 amol/ngRNA. The zeptomole sensitivity of nanoantenna provides accurate bioimaging of miR-210 both in multiple cell lines and in vivo assay, which creates a pathway for the creation of miRNA toolbox for quantitative epigenetics and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Light is essential to all life on the earth. Thus, highly efficient light-harvesting systems with the sequential energy transfer process are significant for using solar energy in photosynthesis. For developing an efficient light-harvesting system, a liquid aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dye TPE-EA is obtained, as a donor and solvent, which can light up the aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) Nile Red (NiR, acceptor) to construct a quantitative Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) system in NiR⊂TPE-EA. Impressively, this FRET pair shows an impressive photothermal effect, producing a peak temperature of 119 °C while excited by UV light, with 37.8% of conversion efficiency. NiR⊂TPE-EA is quite different from most other photothermal materials, which require excitation with long wavelength light (>520 nm). Therefore, NiR⊂TPE-EA firstly converts the solar into thermal energy and then into electric energy to achieve sequential photo-thermo-electric conversion. Such sequential conversion, suitable for being excited by sunlight, is anticipated to unlock new and smart approaches for capturing solar energy.

Abstract
Supramolecular luminescent materials in water have attracted much interest due to their excellent tunability, multi-color emission, and environment-friendly behavior. However, hydrophobic chromophores are often affected by poor solubility and aggregation-caused quenching effects in aqueous media. Herein, we report a water-phase artificial light-harvesting system based on an AIE-type supramolecular polymer. Specifically, dispersed nanoparticles in water were prepared from an AIE chromophore-bridged ditopic ureidopyrimidinone (M) based supramolecular polymer with the assistance of surfactants. By co-assembling the hydrophobic chromophores NDI as energy acceptor into the nanocarriers, artificial light-harvesting systems (M-NDI) could be successfully constructed, exhibiting efficient energy transfer and high antenna effects. Furthermore, the spectral emission of the system could be continuously tuned with a relatively small number of acceptors. This work develops an efficient supramolecular light-harvesting system in water, which has potential applications in dynamic luminescent materials.
