Abstract
Photocatalytic systems have attracted research interest as a clean approach to generate energy from abundant sunlight. In this context, developing efficient and robust photocatalytic structures is crucial. Recently, self-assembled organic chromophores have entered the stage as alternatives to both molecular systems and (in)organic semiconductors. Nanostructures made of self-assembled π-conjugated dyes offer, on the one hand, molecular customizability to tune their optoelectronic properties and activities and on the other hand, provide benefits from heterogeneous catalysis that include ease of separation, recyclability and improved photophysical properties. In this contribution, we present recent achievements in constructing supramolecular photocatalytic systems made of chromophores for applications in water splitting, H2O2 evolution, CO2 reduction, or environmental remediation. We discuss strategies that can be used to prepare ordered photocatalytic systems with an emphasis on the effect of packing between the dyes and the resulting photocatalytic activity. We further showcase supramolecular strategies that allow interfacing the organic nanostructures with co-catalysts, molecules, polymers, and (in)organic materials. The principles discussed here are the foundation for the utilization of these self-assembled materials in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Polymeric spherulites are typically formed by melt crystallization: spherulitic growth in solution is rare and requires complex polymers and dilute solutions. Here, we report the mild and unique formation of luminescent spherulites at room temperature via the simple molecule benzene-1,4-dithiol (BDT). Specifically, BDT polymerized into oligomers (PBDT) via disulfide bonds and assembled into uniform supramolecular nanoparticles in aqueous buffer; these nanoparticles were then dissolved back into PBDT in a good solvent (i.e., dimethylformamide) and underwent chain elongation to form spherulites (rPBDT) in 10 min. The spherulite geometry was modulated by changing the PBDT concentration and reaction time. Due to the step-growth polymerization and reorganization of PBDT, these spherulites not only exhibited robust structure but also showed broad clusterization-triggered emission. The biocompatibility and efficient cellular uptake of the spherulites further underscore their value as traceable drug carriers. This system provides a new pathway for designing versatile superstructures with value for hierarchical assembly of small molecules into a complicated biological system.

Abstract
In the quest of improving the photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts, the combination of two and more semiconductors recently has garnered significant attention among scientists in the field. The doping of conductive metals is also an effective pathway to improve photocatalytic performance by avoiding electron/hole pair recombination and enhancing photon energy absorption. This work presented a design and fabrication of porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite using acid-base neutralization-induced self-assembly approach from monomeric porphyrin and g-C3N4/Ag material. g-C3N4/Ag material was synthesized by a green reductant of Cleistocalyx operculatus leaf extract. Electron scanning microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectrometer were utilized to analyse the properties of the prepared materials. The prepared porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite showed well integration of porphyrin nanostructures on the g-C3N4/Ag's surface, in which porphyrin nanofiber was of the diameter in nanoscales and the length of several micrometers, and Ag NPs had an average particle size of less than 20 nm. The photocatalytic behavior of the resultant nanocomposite was tested for the degradation of Rhodamine B dye, which exhibited a remarkable RhB photodegrading percentage. The possible mechanism for photocatalysis of the porphyrin@g-C3N4/Ag nanocomposite toward Rhodamine B dye was also proposed and discussed.

Abstract
AbstractIn the current investigation we report an unexpected methyl esterification occurred during the coupling reaction of mTHPP monoacetic acid 2 with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole in the presence of HBTU/DIPEA. The mechanism of this unexpected methyl esterification was studied, and the structure of the formed methyl ester 5 was confirmed by the means of 1H, 13C NMR in addition to (MALDI-TOF and ESI-HRMS) spectrometry. The formation of 5 during the coupling reaction was also chemically supported by an alternative synthetic method involving a direct monosubstitution reaction of mTHPP 1 with methyl bromoacetate. We also investigated the metalation of 5 with zinc and studied the thermal properties along with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the zinc porphyrin 6. The photophysical properties of porphyrin methyl ester 5 and its zinc complex 6 were also investigated.

Abstract
Two robust Sn(IV)-porphyrin-based supramolecular arrays (1 and 2) were synthesized via the reaction of trans-Pd(PhCN)2Cl2 with two precursor building blocks (SnP1 and SnP2). The structural patterns in these architectures vary from 2D to 3D depending on the axial ligation of Sn(IV)-porphyrin units. A discrete 2D tetrameric supramolecule (1) was constructed by coordination of {(trans-dihydroxo)[5,10-bis(4-pyridyl)-15,20-bis(phenyl) porphyrinato]}tin(IV) (SnP1) with trans-PdCl2 units. In contrast, the coordination between the {(trans-diisonicotinato)[5,10-bis(4-pyridyl)-15,20-bis(phenyl)porphyrinato]}tin(IV) (SnP2) and trans-PdCl2 units formed a divergent 3D array (2). Axial ligation of the Sn(IV)-porphyrin building blocks not only alters the supramolecular arrays but also significantly modifies the nanostructures, including porosity, surface area, stability, and morphology. These structural changes consequently affected the photocatalytic degradation efficiency under visible-light irradiation towards acid orange 7 (AO) dye in an aqueous solution. The degradation efficiency of the AO dye in the aqueous solution was observed to be between 86% to 91% within 90 min by these photocatalysts.

Abstract
Understanding the influence of surfactants on the assembly of peptides has a considerable practical motivation. In this paper, we systematically study the anionic surfactant-assisted assembly of diphenylalanine (FF). FF forms broom-like structures in a concentration of sodium cholate (NaC) around the CMC, and assembles into linear and unidirectional rods in the presence of low and high surfactant concentrations. FF’s improved hydrogen bonding and controlled assembly rates are appropriate for other anionic surfactants. At this stage, the use of FF as the simplest protein consequence can be helpful in the investigation of further protein–surfactant interactions.

Abstract
A series of porphyrin-based ionic complexes were prepared through the reaction of two porphyrin precursors, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)porphyrin H2TPhPyP (1) and trans-dihydroxo [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)porphyrinato]tin(IV) Sn(OH)2TPhPyP (2), with various acids (HCl, HNO3, CF3COOH, H2SO4, H2CO3, and H3PO4). The complexes were characterized via elemental analysis, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Each compound exhibited different results for UV-visible, fluorescence, FT-IR, and FE-SEM studies depending on the counter anions. The complexes possessed different self-assembled nanostructures based on electronic interactions between the cations of compounds 1 and 2 with different counter anions. These aggregated species are stabilized by electrostatic forces and the π-π stacking interactions between the two porphyrin rings, in which the counter anions play an important bridging role. The counter anions also play an important role in controlling the morphology and photocatalytic properties of the as-developed materials. The complexes were then used for the photocatalytic degradation of the malachite green (MG) dye in aqueous media under visible light irradiation for up to 70 min. A morphology-dependent photocatalytic degradation of the MG dye was observed for all the ionic complexes, with efficiencies ranging from 50% to 95%.

Abstract
The increasing energy demand and environmental issues caused by the over-exploitation of fossil fuels render the need for renewable, clean, and environmentally benign energy sources unquestionably urgent. The zero-emission energy carrier, H2 is an ideal alternative to carbon-based fuels especially when it is generated photocatalytically from water. Additionally, the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into chemical fuels can reduce the CO2 emissions and have a positive environmental and economic impact. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, plenty of artificial photocatalytic schemes based on porphyrinoids have been investigated. This review covers the recent advances in photocatalytic H2 production and CO2 reduction systems containing porphyrin or phthalocyanine derivatives. The unique properties of porphyrinoids enable their utilization both as chromophores and as catalysts. The homogeneous photocatalytic systems are initially described, presenting the various approaches for the improvement of photosensitizing activity and the enhancement of catalytic performance at the molecular level. On the other hand, for the development of the heterogeneous systems, numerous methods were employed such as self-assembled supramolecular porphyrinoid nanostructures, construction of organic frameworks, combination with 2D materials and adsorption onto semiconductors. The dye sensitization on semiconductors opened the way for molecular-based dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) devices based on porphyrins and phthalocyanines. The research in photocatalytic systems as discussed herein remains challenging since there are still many limitations making them unfeasible to be used at a large scale application before finding a large-scale application.

Abstract
Developing efficient Z-scheme heterojunctions with wide visible-light responsive perylene diimide (PDI) is highly desired for CO2 conversion, while the effective charge transfer and separation are crucial. Herein, TiO2-modulated tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin/perylene diimide (T-TP/PDI) organic nano-heterojunctions have been fabricated for CO2 reduction, in which TP and PDI are first assembled via π-π interactions between their similar 2D conjugate structures, and then the TiO2 nanoparticles (ca. 10 nm) are anchored as an energy platform through the carboxyl groups on TP. The optimal one exhibits a ∼10-fold enhancement in photocatalytic activity compared with the pristine PDI. Based on the time-resolved surface photovoltage responses, electron paramagnetic resonance signals, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra and the amount evaluation of H2O2 as the water-oxidation intermediate, it is suggested that the exceptional photoactivity be ascribed to the accelerated charge transfer and separation resulting from the constructed Z-scheme nano-heterojunctions with intimate interfacial interactions and the introduced energy platform TiO2 oriented towards largely inhibiting the type-II charge transfer pathway. This work diversifies the strategies for constructing efficient organic Z-scheme heterojunctions, and provides insight into interface correlation among components.

Abstract
Three isomeric Zn(II)-Sn(IV)-Zn(II) porphyrin-based triads (T2, T3, and T4) were synthesized by the reaction of common Zn(II) porphyrins (ZnL) with different Sn(IV) porphyrins (SnP n ). The Sn(IV) porphyrin precursors differ with respect to the position of the pyridyl-N atoms. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy measurements. In these structures, the intramolecular cooperative metal-ligand coordination of the 3-pyridyl nitrogen in SnP 3 with axial ZnL and the π-π interactions between the adjacent porphyrin triad are the determining factors affecting the nanostructures of T3. Owing to the geometrical constraints of the SnP 2 center, this type of interaction is not possible for T2. Therefore, only the π-π interactions affect the self-assembly process. In the case of SnP 4 , intermolecular coordinative interactions and then π-π interactions are responsible for the nanostructure of T4. The morphology-dependent photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation was observed for these photocatalysts, and the degradation ratio of MO varied from 76 to 94% within 100 min. Nanorod-shaped T3 exhibited higher performance compared to nanosphere T2 and nanoflake T4.

Abstract
Hydrogen generation via electrochemical water splitting is considered an eco-friendly pathway for obtaining this desired alternative energy source, and it has triggered an intensive search for low cost and efficient catalysts. Within this context, four free-base porphyrins were studied as heterogeneous catalysts for the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER) in alkaline aqueous solutions. TEM and STEM analyses of samples obtained by drop-casting the porphyrins from different organic solvents on TEM grids revealed a rich variety of aggregates due to the self-assembling property of the porphyrin molecules. Modified electrodes were manufactured by applying the four tetrapyrrolic macrocycles from various solvents on the surface of graphite supports, in one or more layers. Experiments performed in 0.1 M and 1 M KOH electrolyte solutions allowed the identification of the most electrocatalytically active electrodes for the OER and HER, respectively. In the first case, the electrode was manufactured by applying three layers of 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-phenoxyphenyl)porphyrin on the graphite substrate from N,N-dimethylformamide solution was identified as overall catalytically superior. In the second case, the electrode obtained by applying one layer of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-allyloxyphenyl)-porphyrin from benzonitrile solution displayed an HER overpotential value of 500 mV at i = −10 mA/cm2 and a Tafel slope of 190 mV/dec.

The preparation of self-assembled porphyrins with orderly stacked nanostructures for emulating natural photosynthesis has stimulated extensive efforts to optimize the energy conversion efficiency. However, the elucidation of how orderly stacked structures promote photocatalysis at the molecular level remains a great challenge. Here, unique porphyrin nanoleaves with designed and ordered structure are synthesized and show a hydrogen evolution rate higher than that of commercial powder. Photodeposition of cocatalysts and Kelvin probe force microscopy measurement suggest selective aggregation of photogenerated electrons and holes at different active sites. Combined with theoretical calculations, we find that the orderly packing changes molecular symmetry and induces a molecular dipole, which increases linearly along the π-π stacking direction and forms a strong built-in electric field. The built-in electric field drives photogenerated electrons and holes for the unique crossed transportation along different directions. These findings reveal how orderly stacked structures promote photocatalysis and provide a novel approach for highly efficient water splitting.

Abstract
A dual-porphyrin heterostructure is successfully constructed by coupling tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) zinc porphyrin (ZnTCPP) with tetrakis (4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (THPP). The high photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 41.4 mmol h-1 g-1 is obtained for ZnTCPP/THPP under full spectrum, which is ≈5.1 and ≈17.0 times higher than that of pure ZnTCPP and THPP, respectively. The significantly enhanced activity is mainly attributed to the giant interfacial electric field formed between dual porphyrins, which greatly facilitates efficient charge separation and transfer. Meanwhile, similar conjugated structures of dual porphyrins also provide proper interface match and decrease interface defects, thus inhibiting the recombination of photoproduced carriers. By rationally combining the appropriate band structures and high-quality interfacial contact of dual porphyrins, this work provides a fresh insight into the interfacial electric field construction to improve the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Synthesizing novel photocatalysts that can effectively harvest photon energy over a wide range of the solar spectrum for practical applications is vital. Porphyrin-derived nanostructures with properties similar to those of chlorophyll have emerged as promising candidates to meet this requirement. In this study, tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) nanofibers were formed on the surface of ZnO nanoparticles using a simple self-assembly approach. The obtained ZnO/TCPP nanofiber composites were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and ultraviolet-visible absorbance and reflectance measurements. The results demonstrated that the ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of approximately 37 nm were well integrated in the TCPP nanofiber matrix. The resultant composite showed photocatalytic activity of ZnO and TCPP nanofibers concomitantly, with band gap energies of 3.12 and 2.43 eV, respectively. The ZnO/TCPP photocatalyst exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance for RhB degradation with a removal percentage of 97% after 180 min of irradiation under simulated sunlight because of the synergetic activity of ZnO and TCPP nanofibers. The dominant active species participating in the photocatalytic reaction were •O2 - and OH•, resulting in enhanced charge separation by exciton-coupled charge-transfer processes between the hybrid materials.

Abstract
This article studies the supramolecular assembly behavior of a Zn-trisporphyrin conjugate containing a triphenylamine core (1) with bridging N-donor ligands using the UV-vis spectrophotometric titration method at micromolar concentrations. Our results show that pyridine, a non-bridging ligand, formed a 3:1 open complex with 1. The corresponding binding constant was estimated to be (2.7 ± 0.15) × 1014 M-3. In contrast, bridging ligands, 4,4-bipyridine (BIPY) and 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane (DPYP), formed stable 3:2 double-decker complexes with 1 in solution, which collapsed to yield a 3:1 open complex when excess BIPY or DPYP was added. The binding constants for forming BIPY and DPYP double-decker complexes were estimated to be (9.26 ± 0.07) × 1027 M-4 and (3.62 ± 0.16) × 1027 M-4, respectively. The UV-vis titration profiles supported the conclusion that the degradation of the 3:2 double-decker 1∙BIPY complex is less favorable compared to that of 1∙DPYP. Consequently, the formation of the 3:1 1∙DPYP open complex proceeded more readily than that of 1∙BIPY.

Abstract
A full-spectrum (300-850 nm) responsive donor-acceptor (D-A) supramolecular photocatalyst tetraphenylporphinesulfonate/fullerene (TPPS/C60 ) is successfully constructed. The theoretical spectral efficiency of TPPS/C60 is as high as 70%, offering the possibility of full-solar-spectrum light harvesting. The TPPS/C60 performs a highly efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 276.55 µmol h-1 (34.57 mmol g-1 h-1 ), surpassing many reported organic photocatalysts. The D-A structure effectively promotes electron transfer from TPPS to C60 , which is beneficial to the photocatalytic reaction. Specifically, a giant internal electric field in the D-A structure is built via the enhanced molecular dipole, which dramatically promotes the charge separation (CS) efficiency by 2.35 times. Transient absorption spectra results show a long-lived CS state TPPS•+ -C60 •- in the D-A structure, which effectively promotes participation of photogenerated electrons in the reduction reaction. Briefly, this work provides a novel approach for designing high-performance photocatalytic materials via enhancing the interfacial electric field.

Abstract
The isonicotinic acid containing porphyrin compounds 5-{4-[3-(4-pyridylcarbonyloxy)propoxy]phenyl}-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin, 5-{4-[3-(4-pyridylcarbonyloxy)propoxy]phenyl}-10,15,20-tri(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin, and 5-{4-[3-(4-pyridylcarbonyloxy)propoxy]phenyl}-10,15,20-tri(4-chlorophenyl)porphyrin are prepared and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS, elemental analysis, IR, and UV-Vis. In addition, their spectroscopic properties are investigated through using the Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence, and surface photovoltage measurements. The influence of different substituents on Raman spectra is small, but their impact on the fluorescence spectra and surface photovoltage measurements is significant. Molecular dynamic simulations and UV-Vis diffuse-reflectance spectra show that these porphyrin compounds are potential semiconductor materials.

Abstract
Herein, we show that chiral metal nanoparticle superlattices can be produced through coassembly of achiral metal nanoparticles and porphyrin-based organic molecules. This chirality transfer from molecules to nanoparticle superstructures across three orders of magnitude in length scale is enabled by the hetero chain-chain van der Waals interactions. As far as we know, these are the first chiral nanoparticle assemblies based on chirality transfer through weak van der Waals forces. The dimensionality of the nanoparticle superlattices (1D chiral chains, 2D chiral sheets (cones), and 3D chiral particles) can be controlled based on a same synthetic chiral porphyrin molecule. Metalation of these porphyrin molecules with zinc cations results in the switching of molecular packing from J-type to H-type, which thereby produces 1D chiral nanoparticle chains. Functionalization of these zinc porphyrins with oleylamine can induce the assembly of nanoparticles into 2D chiral nanoparticle sheets.

Abstract
A series of porphyrin triads (1–6), based on the reaction of trans-dihydroxo-[5,15-bis(3-pyridyl)-10,20-bis(phenyl)porphyrinato]tin(IV) (SnP) with six different phenoxy Zn(II)-porphyrins (ZnLn), was synthesized. The cooperative metal–ligand coordination of 3-pyridyl nitrogens in the SnP with the phenoxy Zn(II)-porphyrins, followed by the self-assembly process, leads to the formation of nanostructures. The red-shifts and remarkable broadening of the absorption bands in the UV–vis spectra for the triads in CHCl3 indicate that nanoaggregates may be produced in the self-assembly process of these triads. The emission intensities of the triads were also significantly reduced due to the aggregation. Microscopic analyses of the nanostructures of the triads reveal differences due to the different substituents on the axial Zn(II)-porphyrin moieties. All these nanomaterials exhibited efficient photocatalytic performances in the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) dye under visible light irradiation, and the degradation efficiencies of RhB in aqueous solution were observed to be 72~95% within 4 h. In addition, the efficiency of the catalyst was not impaired, showing excellent recyclability even after being applied for the degradation of RhB in up to five cycles.

Abstract
Porphyrin nanostructures are widely used in the field of visible light catalysis due to their superior light absorption properties and good controllability in size, shape and function. In this paper, the development of various morphologies in three types of porphyrins with three different phenyl substituents (designated as H2TTP, H2TPP and H2TCPP, respectively) is demonstrated. The formation mechanism proposed was based on the evolution of morphology as functions of molecular structure and solvent mixture. These nano/micro assemblies are well characterized by SEM, IR, UV-vis, X-ray diffraction and photoelectric conversion. The photocatalytic oxidation reactions under visible light irradiation of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) in water is utilized to evaluate the photoactivity of the as-prepared porphyrin assemblies. The photocatalytic results indicate that the obtained porphyrin assemblies exhibit enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity. In addition, the photocatalyst is easy to separate and recover, and has good stability. The possible photocatalytic degradation mechanism of DHN by the porphyrins nanopolyhedron photocatalyst was also proposed.

A series of porphyrin triads (1–4), in which each triad is composed of a Sn(IV) porphyrin and two free-base (or Zn(II)) porphyrins, was synthesized and their self-assembled nanostructures were studied. Depending on the substituent on porphyrin moieties, each triad was self-assembled into a different nanostructure. In particular, the cooperative coordination of 3-pyridyl groups in the Sn(IV) porphyrin with the axial Zn(II) porphyrins in triad 4 leads to forming uniform nanofibers with an average width of 10–22 nm. Other triads without the coordinating interaction between the central Sn(IV) porphyrin and the axial porphyrins formed irregularly shaped aggregates in contrast. The morphologies of nanofiber changed drastically upon the addition of pyrrolidine, in which pyrrolidine molecules break down the self-assembly process by coordinating with the axial Zn(II) porphyrins. All porphyrin aggregates exhibited efficient photocatalytic performances on the degradation of methylene blue dye under visible light irradiation. The degradation efficiencies after 2 h were observed to be between 70% and 95% for the aggregates derived from the four triads.

Bioinspired construction of light-harvesting antenna via hierarchically co-assembling approach. J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 587:550-560.

Abstract
Biomimetic construction of artificial photosystem capable of converting light energy to chemical energy is a promising strategy in solving the increasing serious energy and environmental problems. Herein, we present a new strategy to construct light-harvesting antenna via hierarchical co-assembly of short-peptide and porphyrin and subsequent self-metallization process. The hierarchically organized antenna exhibits both excellent photocatalytic performance and remarkable sustainability under strong light irradiation (35000 lx) and extraordinary sensitivity to weak light (700 lx). In such cases, light energy can be converted into chemical energy and stored in the energy-storage molecules (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NADH) even under weak light irradiation. This provides a promising step towards an artificial photosystem that can utilize weak light. Moreover, the structures and properties of the antenna are dependent on the competition of short-peptide self-assembling and co-assembling with porphyrin molecules and can be regulated by their molar ratio. This provides new insights into the design and construction of light-harvesting antennas with integrated functionality via precise control of pigments aggregation and coupling of different functional units.

Abstract
By a facile peripheral decoration of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (ATPP) with inherent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active tetraphenylethene (TPE), a versatile AIEgenic porphyrin derivative (ATPP-TPE) was obtained, which greatly abolishes the detrimental π-π stacking and thus surmounts the notorious aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect of ATPP in aqueous phase. The photoluminescence of ATPP-TPE is 4.5-fold stronger than ATPP at aggregation state. Moreover, an unequivocal aggregation induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) of ATPP-TPE was found to be seriously dependent on its aggregation property in aqueous solution with efficiency of 34 %, which is 6 times higher than pure ATPP. The versatility of this molecular structure modulation strategy along with the ACQ-to-AIE transformation in this work provides direction to guide for applying liposoluble porphyrins in aqueous phase by designs of synthetic porphyrin AIEgens.

Abstract
Iron(III)-tetraamidomacrocyclic ligand (FeIII-TAML) activators have drawn great attentions due to the high reactivity to degrade organic pollutants. However, previous studies showed that the reactivity and stability of FeIII-TAML were both strongly pH-dependent, which dramatically decrease at lower pH levels. Herein, FeIII-TAML/DODMA (dimethyldioctadecylammonium chloride) microspheres with diameters ranging from 100 to 2000 nm were synthesized via a surfactant-assisted self-assembly technique. The newly synthesized FeIII-TAML/DODMA composite exhibits superior reactivity compared to free FeIII-TAML as indicated by the degradation of bisphenols (i.e., bisphenol A and its analogues) over a wide pH range (i.e., pH 4.5-10.0). Based on the adsorption results and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models, the enhanced reactivity of FeIII-TAML/DODMA is mainly ascribed to the hydrophobic sorption of bisphenols. Moreover, the enhanced ionization of the axial water molecule associated with FeIII-TAML could further enhance the reactivity of synthesized microcomposites, which was confirmed by the results of infrared and Raman spectra. Furthermore, FeIII-TAML/DODMA shows distinct acid-resistance as explained by the protection of the hydrophobic alkyl chains of DODMA. This novel method would provide a simple and effective strategy to expand the application of FeIII-TAML in a wide pH range and render FeIII-TAML/DODMA microstructure as a potential catalyst for treatment of bisphenol compounds.

Abstract
1H-Indazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-dione IPDD with an approximate turbine-like spatial structure, primary assembled double-stranded helices at the first level, was predicted by quantum chemical calculations and confirmed by atomic force microscopy. The higher-dimensional hierarchical architectures including fibrils, helical fibers, spherical shells, and porous prismatic structures were observed in sequence by the scanning electron microscopy technique. The final porous prismatic structures sensitive to NH3 vapors have the potential to be applied in gas sensing and absorbing materials.

Abstract
Owing to the attractive potential applications of porphyrin assemblies in photocatalysis, sensors, and material science, studies presently concerning porphyrin aggregation are widely diffused. π–π stacking, H-bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic effect, and electrostatic forces usually drive porphyrin interaction in solution. However, theoretical studies of such phenomena are still limited. Therefore, a computational examination of the different porphyrin aggregation approaches is proposed here, taking into account amphiphilic [5-{4-(3-trimethylammonium)propyloxyphenyl}-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin] chloride, whose aggregation behavior has been previously experimentally investigated. Different functionals have been adopted to investigate the porphyrin dimeric species, considering long-range interactions. Geometry optimization has been performed, showing that for the compound under analysis, H-type and cation–π dimers are the most favored structures that likely co-exist in aqueous solution. Of note, frontier orbital delocalization showed an interesting interaction between the porphyrin units in the dimer at the supramolecular level.

Abstract
Metal-free porphyrin with good planarity is beneficial to π-π stack interactions, which promotes electron coupling and the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. It is necessary to develop metal-free porphyrin-based photocatalysts and exploit the photocatalytic mechanism. Herein, metal-free porphyrin (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin, TCPP) was self-assembled through an acid-based neutralization reaction and mixing dual-solvents under surfactants to form different aggregates. Morphology structures, optical and optoelectronic properties of the TCPP aggregates were characterized in detail. TCPP self-assemblies showed higher photocatalytic activities for the degradation of phenol under visible light than untreated TCPP powders, and the aggregates of nanorods formed through the acid-based neutralization reaction in the presence of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) possessed 2.6 times more activity than the nanofiber aggregates formed through mixing dual-solvents. It was proved that self-assembly methods are crucial for controlling the aggregation of porphyrins to form different aggregations, which have a profound impact on the photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, endogenous, noncoding RNAs that play critical roles in physiologic and pathologic processes and are vital biomarkers for several disease diagnostics and therapeutics. Therefore, rapid, low-cost, sensitive, and selective detection of miRNAs is of paramount importance and has aroused increasing attention in the field of medical research. Among the various reported miRNA sensors, devices based on graphene and its derivatives, which form functional supramolecular nanoassemblies of π-conjugated molecules, have been revealed to have great potential due to their extraordinary electrical, chemical, optical, mechanical, and structural properties. This Review critically and comprehensively summarizes the recent progress in miRNA detection based on graphene and its derivative materials, with an emphasis on i) the underlying working principles of these types of sensors, and the unique roles and advantages of graphene materials; ii) state-of-the-art protocols recently developed for high-performance miRNA sensing, including representative examples; and iii) perspectives and current challenges for graphene sensors. This Review intends to provide readers with a deep understanding of the design and future of miRNA detection devices.

Abstract
The coordination of the chiral metalloporphyrin ([5,10,15,20-[4-([Formula: see text]-2-[Formula: see text]-octadecylamidoethyloxiphenyl]porphyrin] zinc (II)) and an achiral homologue to an amphiphilic block copolymer of poly(styrene-[Formula: see text]-4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-[Formula: see text]-P4VP) have been studied in solution and as cast material. The resulting chiral dye-polymer hybrid material has been accomplished via axial coordination between the zinc (II) metal ion in the core of the porphyrin ring and the pyridyl units of the block-copolymer in a non-coordinative solvent. The supramolecular organization and possible chirality transfer to the hybrid material have been studied in solution by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Circular Dichroism. The morphology of the chiral and achiral doped polymers has been studied in solid state by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy. We show that the nanostructures formed depend greatly upon the nature of the side-chains on the porphyrins, where a chiral group leads to a very homogeneous phase-separated material, perhaps indicating that chiral side groups are useful for the preparation of this type of supramolecular hybrid.

Abstract
Supramolecular gels containing porphyrins and phthalocyanines motifs are attracting increased interests in a wide range of research areas. Based on the supramolecular gels systems, porphyrin or phthalocyanines can form assemblies with plentiful nanostructures, dynamic, and stimuli-responsive properties. And these π-conjugated molecular building blocks also afford supramolecular gels with many new features, depending on their photochemical and electrochemical characteristics. As one of the most characteristic models, the supramolecular chirality of these soft matters was investigated. Notably, the application of supramolecular gels containing porphyrins and phthalocyanines has been developed in the field of catalysis, molecular sensing, biological imaging, drug delivery and photodynamic therapy. And some photoelectric devices were also fabricated depending on the gelation of porphyrins or phthalocyanines. This paper presents an overview of the progress achieved in this issue along with some perspectives for further advances.

Abstract
Design and engineering of highly efficient light-harvesting nanomaterial systems to emulate natural photosynthesis for maximizing energy conversion have stimulated extensive efforts. Here we present a new class of photoactive semiconductor nanocrystals that exhibit high-efficiency energy transfer for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production under visible light. These nanocrystals are formed through noncovalent self-assembly of In(III) meso-tetraphenylporphine chloride (InTPP) during microemulsion assisted nucleation and growth process. Through kinetic control, a series of uniform nanorods with controlled aspect ratio and high crystallinity have been fabricated. Self-assembly of InTPP porphyrins results in extensive optical coupling and broader coverage of the visible spectrum for efficient light harvesting. As a result, these nanocrystals display excellent photocatalytic hydrogen production and photostability under the visible light in comparison with the commercial InTPP porphyrin powders.

Abstract
A full-spectrum (300-700 nm) responsive porphyrin supramolecular photocatalyst with a theoretical solar spectrum efficiency of 44.4% is successfully constructed. For the first time, hydrogen and oxygen evolution (40.8 and 36.1 µmol g-1 h-1 ) is demonstrated by a porphyrin photocatalyst without the addition of any cocatalysts. The strong oxidizing performance also presents an efficient photodegradation activity that is more than ten times higher than that of g-C3 N4 for the photodegradation of phenol. The high photocatalytic reduction and oxidation activity arises from a strong built-in electric field due to molecular dipoles of electron-trapping groups and the nanocrystalline structure of the supramolecular photocatalyst. The appropriate band structure of the supramolecular photocatalyst adjusted via the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels of the porphyrin gives rise to thermodynamic driving potential for H2 and O2 evolution under visible light irradiation. Controlling the energy band structure of photocatalysts via the ordered assembly of structure-designed organic molecules could provide a novel approach for the design of organic photocatalysts in energy and environmental applications.

Abstract
Demands related to clean energy and environmental protection promote the development of novel supramolecular assemblies for photocatalysis. Because of the distinctive aggregation behaviors, bolaamphiphiles with two hydrophilic end groups could be theoretically the right candidates for the fabrication of high-performance photocatalysis. However, photocatalytic applications based on bolaamphiphilic assemblies were still rarely investigated. Especially, the relationship between diverse assembled nanostructures and the properties for different applications is urgently needed to be studied. Herein, we demonstrate that using the hierarchical assembly of bolaamphiphiles could correctly induce the porphyrin supramolecular architectures with much better photocatalytic performances than the aggregations containing 450 times of the porphyrin molecules, even though both molecular structures as well as the J-aggregations of porphyrin building blocks are same in two different systems. Thus, the co-assembly of l-phenylalanine terminated bolaamphiphile (Bola-F) and the porphyrin containing four hydroxyl groups (tetrakis-5,10,15,20-(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin) can form microtube in methanol and forms fibers/spheres in methanol/water mixture. For catalyzing the photodegradation of rhodamine B, the small amount of J-aggregated porphyrin within Bola-F microtubes show much better photocatalytic performance comparing with that of huge porphyrin J-aggregations in fibers/spheres. The supramolecular assemblies as well as the photocatalysis were thoroughly characterized by different spectroscopies and electron microscopy. It is demonstrated that the co-assembly with bolaamphiphiles could inhibit the energy transfer of porphyrin aggregation and subsequently benefit the electron transfer and corresponding photocatalysis under photo-irradiation. This work is not only useful for further understanding the hierarchically supramolecular assembly but also provides a new strategy for making novel functional supramolecular architectures based on the assembly of bolaamphiphiles and porphyrins.
