Abstract
As electrocatalysts, molecular catalysts with large aromatic systems (such as terpyridine, porphyrin, or phthalocyanine) have been widely applied in the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). However, these monomeric catalysts tend to aggregate due to strong π-π interactions, resulting in limited accessibility of the active site. In light of these challenges, we present a novel strategy of active site isolation for enhancing the CO2RR. Six Ru(Tpy)2 were integrated into the skeleton of a metallo-organic supramolecule by stepwise self-assembly in order to form a rhombus-fused six-pointed star R1 with active site isolation. The turnover frequency (TOF) of R1 was as high as 10.73 s-1 at -0.6 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs RHE), which is the best reported value so far at the same potential to our knowledge. Furthermore, by increasing the connector density on R1's skeleton, a more stable triangle-fused six-pointed star T1 was successfully synthesized. T1 exhibits exceptional stability up to 126 h at -0.4 V vs RHE and excellent TOF values of CO. The strategy of active site isolation and connector density increment significantly enhanced the catalytic activity by increasing the exposure of the active site. This work provides a starting point for the design of molecular catalysts and facilitates the development of a new generation of catalysts with a high catalytic performance.

Abstract
Iodine radioisotopes, produced or released during nuclear-related activities, severely affect human health and the environment. The efficient removal of radioiodine from both aqueous and vapor phases is crucial for the sustainable development of nuclear energy. In this study, we propose an "N-heteroatom engineering" strategy to design three porous organic cages with N-containing functional groups for efficient iodine capture. Among the molecular cages investigated, FT-Cage incorporating tertiary amine groups and RT-Cage with secondary amine groups show higher adsorption capacity and much faster iodine release compared to IT-Cage with imine groups. Detailed investigations demonstrate the superiority of amine groups, along with the influence of crystal structures and porosity, for iodine capture. These findings provide valuable insights for the design of porous organic cages with enhanced capabilities for capturing iodine.

Abstract
Breaking the D4h symmetry in the square-planar M-N4 configuration of macrocycle molecular catalysts has witnessed enhanced electrocatalytic activity, but at the expense of electrochemical stability. Herein, we hypothesize that the lability of the active Cu-N3 motifs in the N-confused copper (II) tetraphenylporphyrin (CuNCP) could be overcome by applying pulsed potential electrolysis (PPE) during electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction. We find that applying PPE can indeed enhance the CH4 selectivity on CuNCP by 3 folds to reach the partial current density of 170 mA cm-2 at >60 % Faradaic efficiency (FE) in flow cell. However, combined ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), infrared (IR), Raman, scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) characterizations reveal that, in a prolonged time scale, the decomplexation of CuNCP is unavoidable, and the promoted water dissociation under high anodic bias with lowered pH and enriched protons facilitates successive hydrogenation of *CO on the irreversibly reduced Cu nanoparticles, leading to the improved CH4 selectivity. As a key note, this study signifies the adaption of electrolytic protocol to the catalyst structure for tailoring local chemical environment towards efficient CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Atomically precise Au nanoclusters (NCs) with discrete energy levels can be used as photosensitizers for CO2 reduction. However, tight ligand capping of Au NCs hinders CO2 adsorption on its active sites. Here, a new hybrid material is obtained by anchoring of thiol functionalized terpyridine metal complexes (metal=Ru, Ni, Fe, Co) on Au NCs by ligand exchange reactions (LERs). The anchoring of Ru and Ni complexes on Au25 NC (Au25 -Ru and Au25 -Ni) leads to adequate CO2 to CO conversion for photocoupled electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (PECR) in terms of high selectivity, with Faradaic efficiency of CO (FECO ) exceeding 90 % in a wide potential range, remarkable activity (CO production rate up to two times higher than that for pristine Au25 PET18 ) and extremely large turnover frequencies (TOFs, 63012 h-1 at -0.97 V for Au25 -Ru and 69989 h-1 at -1.07 V vs. RHE for Au25 -Ni). Moreover, PECR stability test indicates the excellent long-term stability of the modified NCs in contrast with pristine Au NCs. The present approach offers a novel strategy to enhance PECR activity and selectivity, as well as to improve the stability of Au NCs under light illumination, which paves the way for highly active and stable Au NCs catalysts.

Abstract
The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) using sustainable energy inputs is a promising strategy for upcycling of atmospheric carbon into value-added chemical products. This goal has inspired the development of catalysts for selective and efficient CO2 conversion using electrochemical and photochemical methods. Among the diverse array of catalyst systems designed for this purpose, 2D and 3D platforms that feature porosity offer the potential to combine carbon capture and conversion. Included are covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous molecular cages, and other hybrid molecular materials developed to increase active site exposure, stability, and water compatibility while maintaining precise molecular tunability. This mini-review showcases catalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) that incorporate well-defined molecular elements integrated into porous materials structures. Selected examples provide insights into how different approaches to this overall design strategy can augment their electrocatalytic and/or photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity.

Abstract
Herein, we introduce a comprehensive study of the photophysical behaviors and CO2 reduction electrocatalytic properties of a series of cofacial porphyrin organic cages (CPOC-M, M = H2, Co(ii), Ni(ii), Cu(ii), Zn(ii)), which are constructed by the covalent-bonded self-assembly of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)porphyrin (TFPP) and chiral (2-aminocyclohexyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetraformyl diimide (ANDI), followed by post-synthetic metalation. Electronic coupling between the TFPP donor and naphthalene-1,4 : 5,8-bis(dicarboximide) (NDI) acceptor in the metal-free cage is revealed to be very weak by UV-vis spectroscopic, electrochemical, and theoretical investigations. Photoexcitation of CPOC-H2, as well as its post-synthetic Zn and Co counterparts, leads to fast energy transfer from the triplet state porphyrin to the NDI unit according to the femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopic results. In addition, CPOC-Co enables much better electrocatalytic activity for CO2 reduction reaction than the other metallic CPOC-M (M = Ni(ii), Cu(ii), Zn(ii)) and monomeric porphyrin cobalt compartment, supplying a partial current density of 18.0 mA cm-2 at -0.90 V with 90% faradaic efficiency of CO.

Abstract
The electrochemical nitrate (NO3 - ) reduction reaction (NO3 RR) to ammonia (NH3 ) represents a sustainable approach for denitrification to balance global nitrogen cycles and an alternative to traditional thermal Haber-Bosch processes. Here, we present a supramolecular strategy for promoting NH3 production in water from NO3 RR by integrating two-dimensional (2D) molecular cobalt porphyrin (CoTPP) units into a three-dimensional (3D) porous organic cage architecture. The porphyrin box CoPB-C8 enhances electrochemical active site exposure, facilitates substrate-catalyst interactions, and improves catalyst stability, leading to turnover numbers and frequencies for NH3 production exceeding 200,000 and 56 s-1 , respectively. These values represent a 15-fold increase in NO3 RR activity and 200-mV improvement in overpotential for the 3D CoPB-C8 box structure compared to its 2D CoTPP counterpart. Synthetic tuning of peripheral alkyl substituents highlights the importance of supramolecular porosity and cavity size on electrochemical NO3 RR activity. These findings establish the incorporation of 2D molecular units into 3D confined space microenvironments as an effective supramolecular design strategy for enhancing electrocatalysis.

Nickel(II) complexes (1-Ni, 2-Ni), and a new crystal structure ([2-Ni]Me), featuring N4-Schiff base macrocycles, were synthesized and investigated for their potential in ECR. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) in NBu4PF6/CH3CN solution demonstrated that the nickel complexes bearing N-H groups (1-Ni and 2-Ni) showed a substantial current enhancement in the presence of CO2, while the absence of N-H groups ([2-Ni]Me) resulted in an almost unchanged voltammogram. This indicated the necessity of the N-H functionality towards ECR in aprotic media. All three nickel complexes were successfully immobilized on nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) via non-covalent interactions. All three Ni@NG catalysts exhibited satisfactory CO2-to-CO reduction in aqueous NaHCO3 solution with the faradaic efficiency (FE) of 60-80% at the overpotential of 0.56 V vs. RHE. The ECR activity of [2-Ni]Me@NG also suggested that the N-H moiety from the ligand is less important in the heterogeneous aqueous system owing to viable hydrogen-bond formation and proton donors from water and bicarbonate ions. This finding could pave the way for understanding the effects of modifying the ligand framework at the N-H position toward fine tuning the reactivity of hybrid catalysts through molecular-level modulation.

Abstract
Transparent and grain boundary-free substrates are essential to immobilize molecular photocatalysts for efficient photoirradiation reactions without unexpected light scattering and absorption by the substrates. Herein, membranes of coordination polymer glass immobilizing metalloporphyrins were examined as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction under visible-light irradiation. [Zn(HPO4)(H2PO4)2](ImH2)2 (Im = imidazolate) liquid containing iron(III) 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine chloride (Fe(TPP)Cl, 0.1-0.5 w/w%) was cast on a borosilicate glass substrate, followed by cooling to room temperature, resulting in transparent and grain boundary-free membranes with the thicknesses of 3, 5, and 9 μm. The photocatalytic activity of the membranes was in proportion to the membrane thickness, indicating that Fe(TPP)Cl in the subsurface of membranes effectively absorbed light and contributed to the reactions. The membrane photocatalysts were intact during the photocatalytic reaction and showed no recrystallization or leaching of Fe(TPP)Cl.

Abstract
We report a new composite material consisting of silver nanoparticles decorated with three-dimensional molecular organic cages based on light absorbing porphyrins. The porphyrin cages serve to both stabilize the particles and allow diffusion and trapping of small molecules close to the metallic surface. Combining these two photoactive components results in a Fano resonant interaction between the porphyrin Soret band and the nanoparticle localised surface plasmon resonance. Time resolved spectroscopy revealed the silver nanoparticles transfer up to 37% of their excited state energy to the stabilising layer of porphyrin cages. These unusual photophysics cause a 2-fold current increase in photoelectrochemical water splitting measurements. The composite structure provides a compelling proof-of-concept for advanced photosensitiser systems with intrinsic porosity for photocatalytic and sensing applications.

Abstract
Triplet-triplet annihilation-based molecular photon upconversion (TTA-UC) is a photophysical phenomenon that can yield high-energy emitting photons from low-energy incident light. TTA-UC is believed to fuse two triplet excitons into a singlet exciton through several consecutive energy-conversion processes. When organic aromatic dyes─i.e., sensitizers and annihilators─are used in TTA-UC, intermolecular distances, as well as relative orientations between the two chromophores, are important in an attempt to attain high upconversion efficiencies. Herein, we demonstrate a host-guest strategy─e.g., a cage-like molecular container incorporating two porphyrinic sensitizers and encapsulating two perylene emitters inside its cavity─to harness photon upconversion. Central to this design is tailoring the cavity size (9.6-10.4 Å) of the molecular container so that it can host two annihilators with a suitable [π···π] distance (3.2-3.5 Å). The formation of a complex with a host:guest ratio of 1:2 between a porphyrinic molecular container and perylene was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) as well as by DFT calculations. We have obtained TTA-UC yielding blue emission at 470 nm when the complex is excited with low-energy photons. This proof-of-concept demonstrates that TTA-UC can take place in one supermolecule by bringing together the sensitizers and annihilators. Our investigations open up some new opportunities for addressing several issues associated with supramolecular photon upconversion, such as sample concentrations, molecular aggregation, and penetration depths, which have relevance to biological imaging applications.

Abstract
The pursuit of single-assembled molecular cage reactors for complex tandem reactions is a long-standing target in biomimetic catalysis but still a grand challenge. Herein, nanozyme-like organic cages are reported by engineering air-stable radicals into the skeleton upon photoinduced electron transfer. The generation of radicals is accompanied by single-crystal structural transformation and exhibits superior stability over six months in air. Impressively, the radicals throughout the cage skeleton can mimic the peroxidase of natural enzymes to decompose H2 O2 into OH· and facilitate oxidation reactions. Furthermore, an integrated catalyst by encapsulating Au clusters (glucose oxidase mimics) into the cage has been developed, in which the dual active sites (Au cluster and radical) are spatially isolated and can work as cascade nanozymes to prominently promote the enzyme-like tandem reaction via a substrate channeling effect.

Abstract
We present a supramolecular approach to catalyzing photochemical CO2 reduction through second-sphere porosity and charge effects. An iron porphyrin box (PB) bearing 24 cationic groups, FePB-2(P), was made via post-synthetic modification of an alkyne-functionalized supramolecular synthon. FePB-2(P) promotes the photochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) with 97 % selectivity for CO product, achieving turnover numbers (TON) exceeding 7000 and initial turnover frequencies (TOFmax ) reaching 1400 min-1 . The cooperativity between porosity and charge results in a 41-fold increase in activity relative to the parent Fe tetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPP) catalyst, which is far greater than analogs that augment catalysis through porosity (FePB-3(N), 4-fold increase) or charge (Fe p-tetramethylanilinium porphyrin (Fe-p-TMA), 6-fold increase) alone. This work establishes that synergistic pendants in the secondary coordination sphere can be leveraged as a design element to augment catalysis at primary active sites within confined spaces.

Abstract
Here we report synthetic monosaccharide channels built with shape-persistent organic cages, porphyrin boxes (PBs), that allow facile transmembrane transport of glucose and fructose through their windows. PBs show a much higher transport rate for glucose and fructose over disaccharides such as sucrose, as evidenced by intravesicular enzyme assays and molecular dynamics simulations. The transport rate can be modulated by changing the length of the alkyl chains decorating the cage windows. Insertion of a linear pillar ligand into the cavity of PBs blocks the monosaccharide transport. In vitro cell experiment shows that PBs transport glucose across the living-cell membrane and enhance cell viability when the natural glucose transporter GLUT1 is blocked. Time-dependent live-cell imaging and MTT assays confirm the cyto-compatibility of PBs. The monosaccharide-selective transport ability of PBs is reminiscent of natural glucose transporters (GLUTs), which are crucial for numerous biological functions.

Abstract
Self-assembled metallacyles and cages formed via coordination chemistry have been used as catalysts to enforce 4H+/4e- reduction of oxygen to water with an emphasis on attenuating the formation of hydrogen peroxide. That said, the kinetically favored 2H+/2e- reduction to H2O2 is critically important to industry. In this work we report the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemical benchmarking of a hexa-porphyrin cube which catalyses the electrochemical reduction of molecular oxgyen to hydrogen peroxide. An established sub-component self-assembly approach was used to synthesize the cubic free-base porphryin topologies from 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, tetra-4-aminophenylporphryin (TAPP), and Fe(OTf)2 (OTf- = trifluoromethansulfonate). Then, a tandem metalation/transmetallation was used to introduce Co(II) into the porphyrin faces of the cube, and exchange with the Fe(II) cations at the vertices, furnishing a tetrakaideca cobalt cage. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies on a Cu(II)/Fe(II) analogue probed radical interactions which inform on electronic structure. The efficacy and selectivity of the CoCo-cube as a catalyst for hydrogen peroxide generation was investigated using hydrodynamic voltammetry, revealing a higher selectivity than that of a mononuclear Co(II) porphyrin (83% versus ~50%) with orders of magnitude enhancement in standard rate constant (ks = 2.2 × 102 M-1s-1 versus ks = 3 × 100 M-1s-1). This work expands the use of coordination-driven self-assembly beyond ORR to water by exploiting post-synthetic modification and structural control that is associated with this synthetic method.

Abstract
A semisynthetic electrocatalyst for carbon dioxide reduction to carbon monoxide in water is reported. Cobalt microperoxidase-11 (CoMP11-Ac) is shown to reduce CO2 to CO with a turnover number of up to 32,000 and a selectivity of up to 88:5 CO:H2. Higher selectivity for CO production is favored by a less cathodic applied potential and use of a higher pK a buffer. A mechanistic hypothesis is presented in which avoiding the formation and protonation of a formal Co(I) species favors CO production. These results demonstrate how tuning reaction conditions impact reactivity toward CO2 reduction for a biocatalyst previously developed for H2 production.

Abstract
Coordination cages with well-defined cavities show great promise in the field of catalysis on account of their unique combination of molecular confinement effects and transition-metal redox chemistry. Here, three coordination cages are reduced from their native 16+ oxidation state to the 2+ state in the gas phase without observable structural degradation. Using this method, the reaction rate constants for each reduction step were determined, with no noticeable differences arising following either the incorporation of a C60 -fullerene guest or alteration of the cage chemical structure. The reactivity of highly reduced cage species toward molecular oxygen is "switched-on" after a threshold number of reduction steps, which is influenced by guest molecules and the structure of cage components. These new experimental approaches provide a unique window to explore the chemistry of highly-reduced cage species that can be modulated by altering their structures and encapsulated guest species.

Abstract
The first bench-stable triple-diazonium reagent (TDA-1) was rationally designed and synthesized for coupling and crosslinking. The three reactive sites of TDA-1 can react with phenol-containing molecules as well as plant viruses in aqueous buffers efficiently. In addition, a new-type azo-linked cage was constructed by the direct reaction of TDA-1 with a triple-phenol molecule and was characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract
A new alkyne‐based hydrocarbon cage was synthesized in high overall yield using alkyne‐alkyne coupling in the cage forming step. The cage is porous and displays a moderately high BET surface area (546 m2 g−1). The cage loses crystallinity on activation and thus is porous in its amorphous form, while very similar cages have been either non‐porous, or retained crystallinity on activation. Reaction of the cage with Co2(CO)8 results in exhaustive metalation of its 12 alkyne groups to give the Co24(CO)72 adduct of the cage in good yield.

Abstract
Electroreduction of CO2 into valuable fuels and feedstocks offers a promising way for CO2 utilization. However, the commercialization is limited by the low productivity. Here, we report a strategy to enhance the productivity of CO2 electroreduction by improving diffusion of CO2 to the surface of catalysts using porous organic cages (POCs) as an additive. It was noted that the Faradaic efficiency (FE) of C2+ products could reach 76.1 % with a current density of 1.7 A cm-2 when Cu-nanorod(nr)/CC3 (one of the POCs) was used, which were much higher than that using Cu-nr. Detailed studies demonstrated that the hydrophobic pores of CC3 can adsorb a large amount of CO2 for the reaction, and the diffusion of CO2 in the CC3 to the nanocatalyst surface is easier than that in the liquid electrolyte. Thus, more CO2 molecules make contact with the nanocatalysts in the presence of CC3, enhancing CO2 reduction and inhibiting generation of H2 .

Abstract
The employment of weak intermolecular interactions in supramolecular chemistry offers an alternative approach to project artificial chemical environments like the active sites of enzymes. Discrete molecular architectures with defined shapes and geometries have become a revolutionary field of research in recent years because of their intrinsic porosity and ease of synthesis using dynamic non-covalent/covalent interactions. Several porous molecular cages have been constructed from simple building blocks by self-assembly, which undergoes many self-correction processes to form the final architecture. These supramolecular systems have been developed to demonstrate numerous applications, such as guest stabilization, drug delivery, catalysis, smart materials, and many other related fields. In this respect, catalysis in confined nanospaces using such supramolecular cages has seen significant growth over the years. These porous discrete cages contain suitable apertures for easy intake of substrates and smooth release of products to exhibit exceptional catalytic efficacy. This review highlights recent advancements in catalytic activity influenced by the nanocavities of hydrogen-bonded cages, metal-ligand coordination cages, and dynamic or reversible covalently bonded organic cages in different solvent media. Synthetic strategies for these three types of supramolecular systems are discussed briefly and follow similar and simplistic approaches manifested by simple starting materials and benign conditions. These examples demonstrate the progress of various functionalized molecular cages for specific chemical transformations in aqueous and nonaqueous media. Finally, we discuss the enduring challenges related to porous cage compounds that need to be overcome for further developments in this field of work.

Abstract
Global climate changes have been impacted by the excessive CO 2 emission, which exacerbates the environmental problems. Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (CO 2 RR) offers the solution for utilizing CO 2 as feedstocks for value-added products while potentially mitigating the negative effects. Owing to the extreme stability of CO 2 , selectivity and efficiency are crucial factors in the development of CO 2 RR electrocatalysts. Recently, single-atom catalysts have emerged as potential electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction. They generally comprise of atomically- and molecularly dispersed active sites over conductive supports, which enable atomic-level and molecular-level modulations. In this minireview, catalyst preparations, principle of modulations, and reaction mechanisms are summarised together with related recent advances. The atomic-level modulations are first discussed, followed by the molecular-level modulations. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities are provided as guidance for further developments regarding the discussed topics.

Abstract
Although the term 'confinement' regularly appears in electrochemical literature, elevated by continuous progression in the research of nanomaterials and nanostructures, up until today the various aspects of confinement considered in electrochemistry are rather scattered individual contributions outside the established disciplines in this field. Thanks to a number of highly original publications and the growing appreciation of confinement as an overarching link between different exciting new research strategies, 'electrochemistry under confinement' is the process of forming a research discipline of its own. To aid the development a coherent terminology and joint basic concepts, as crucial factors for this transformation, this review provides an overview on the different effects on electrochemical processes known to date that can be caused by confinement. It also suggests where boundaries to other effects, such as nano-effects could be drawn. To conceptualize the vast amount of research activities revolving around the main concepts of confinement, we define six types of confinement and select two of them to discuss the state of the art and anticipated future developments in more detail. The first type concerns nanochannel environments and their applications for electrodeposition and for electrochemical sensing. The second type covers the rather newly emerging field of colloidal single entity confinement in electrochemistry. In these contexts, we will for instance address the influence of confinement on the mass transport and electric field distributions and will link the associated changes in local species concentration or in the local driving force to altered reaction kinetics and product selectivity. Highlighting pioneering works and exciting recent developments, this educational review does not only aim at surveying and categorizing the state-of-the-art, but seeks to specifically point out future perspectives in the field of confinement-controlled electrochemistry.

Abstract
Porous organic cages (POCs) have many advantages, including superior microenvironments, good monodispersity, and shape homogeneity, excellent molecular solubility, high chemical stability, and intriguing host-guest chemistry. These properties enable POCs to overcome the limitations of extended porous networks such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). However, the applications of POCs in bioimaging remain limited due to the problems associated with their rigid and hydrophobic structures, thus leading to strong aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) in aqueous biological media. To address this challenge, we report the preparation of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active POCs capable of stimuli responsiveness for enhanced bioimaging. We rationally design a hydrophilic, structurally flexible tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based POC that is almost entirely soluble in aqueous solutions. This POC's conformationally flexible superstructure allows the dynamic rotation of the TPE-based phenyl rings, thus endowing impressive AIE characteristics for responses to environmental changes such as temperature and viscosity. We employ these notable features in the bioimaging of living cells and obtain good performance, demonstrating that the present AIE-active POCs are suitable candidates for further biological applications.

Abstract
Inspired by the success of graphene, a series of single- or few-layer 2D materials have been developed and applied in the past decade. Here, the successful preparation of monolayer and bilayer 2D porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by a facile solvothermal method is reported. The structure transition from monolayer to bilayer drives distinct electronic properties and restructuring behaviors, which finally results in distinct catalytic pathways towards CO2 electrocatalysis. The monolayer favors CO2 -to-C2 pathway due to the restructuring of CuO4 sites, while CO and HCOO- are the major products over the bilayer. In photocoupled electrocatalysis, the Faradaic efficiency (FE) of the C2 compounds shows a nearly fourfold increase on the monolayer than that under dark conditions (FEC2 increases from 11.9% to 41.1% at -1.4 V). For comparison, the light field plays a negligible effect on the bilayer. The light-induced selectivity optimization is investigated by experimental characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work opens up a novel possibility to tune the selectivity of carbon products just by tailoring the layer number of the 2D material.

Abstract
Porous organic cages have shape persistent cavities which provide a suitable platform for encapsulation of guest molecules with size suitably fitting to the cavity. The interactions of the guest molecule with the porous organic cage significantly alter the properties of the guest molecule. Herein, we report the effect of encapsulation on the kinetics of various organic transformations including 2 + 4 cycloaddition, 1,5-sigmatropic, 6π-electrocyclization, ring expansion, cheletropic, dyotropic, trimerization and tautomerization reactions. Non-bonding interactions are generated between the CC2 cage and encapsulated species. However, the number and nature/strength of interactions are different for reactant and TS with the CC2 cage and this difference detects the reaction to be accelerated or slowed down. A significant drop in the barrier of reactions is observed for reactions involving strong interactions of the transition state within the cage. However, for some reactions such as the Claisen rearrangement, reactants are stabilized more than the transition state and therefore an increase in activation barrier is observed. Furthermore, non-covalent analyses of all transition states (inside the cage) confirm the interaction between the CC2 cage and substrate. The current study will promote further exploration of the potential of other porous structures for similar applications. Porous organic cages have shape persistent cavities which provide a suitable platform for encapsulation of guest molecules with size suitably fitting to the cavity.![]()

Abstract
Energy is a key attribute that is used to evaluate the economic development of any country. The demand for energy is going to rise in developing countries and will be 67% of global use by 2040. The energy surge in these rising economies will be responsible for 60-70% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. The quest for higher energy motivates technological development to curb the climate change occurring with GHG emissions. Carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Current work is intended to give an updated review on the different routes of carbon dioxide utilization that are catalytic route, photocatalytic route, electrocatalytic route, microwave plasma route, and biocatalytic route. These routes are capable of converting CO2 into different valuable products such as formic acid, methanol, and di-methyl ether (DME), which are majorly derived from biomass and/or fossil fuels (coal gasification and/or natural gas). This work investigates the effect of different routes available for the production of value-added products by CO2 reduction, discusses various challenges that come across the aforementioned routes, and shares views on future scope and research direction to pave new innovative ways of reducing CO2 from the environment.

Abstract
Nanocages with porphyrin walls are common, but studies of such structures hosting redox-active metals are rare. Pt2+-linked M6L3 nanoprisms with cobalt-porphyrin walls were prepared and their redox properties were evaluated electrochemically and chemically, leading to the first time that cobalt-porphyrin nanocages have been characterized in CoI, CoII, and CoIII states.

Abstract
Although porous organic cages (POCs), particularly imine-linked (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) ones, have advanced significantly over the last few decades, the reversible nature of imine linkages makes them prone to hydrolysis and structural collapse, severely limiting their applications under moist or water conditions. Herein, seven water-stable hydrazone-linked (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N-N) POCs are prepared through a simple coupling of the same supramolecular tetraformylresorcin[4]arene cavitand with different dihydrazide linkers. Their structures are all determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, demonstrating rich structural diversity from the [2 + 4] lantern, [3 + 6] triangular prism, and unprecedented [4 + 8] square prism to the extra-large [6 + 12] octahedron. In addition, they respectively exhibit tunable window diameters and cavity volumes ranging from about 5.4 to 11.1 nm and 580 to 6800 Å3. Moreover, their application in the water environment for pollutant removal was explored, indicating that they can effectively eliminate various types of contaminants from water, including radionuclide waste, toxic heavy metal ions, and organic micropollutants. This work demonstrates a convenient method for rationally constructing versatile robust POCs and presents their great application potentialities in water medium.

Abstract
The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2 RR) converting CO2 into value-added chemicals and fuels to realize carbon recycling is a solution to the problem of renewable energy shortage and environmental pollution. Among all the catalysts, the carbon-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) with isolated metal atoms immobilized on conductive carbon substrates have shown significant potential toward CO2 RR, which intrigues researchers to explore high-performance SACs for fuel and chemical production by CO2 RR. Especially, regulating the coordination structures of the metal centers and the microenvironments of the substrates in carbon-based SACs has emerged as an effective strategy for the tailoring of their CO2 RR catalytic performance. In this review, the current in situ/operando study techniques and the fundamental parameters for CO2 RR performance are first briefly presented. Furthermore, the recent advances in synthetic strategies which regulate the atomic structures of the carbon-based SACs, including heteroatom coordination, coordination numbers, diatomic metal centers, and the microenvironments of substrates are summarized. In particular, the structure-performance relationship of the SACs toward CO2 RR is highlighted. Finally, the inevitable challenges for SACs are outlined and further research directions toward CO2 RR are presented from the perspectives.

Abstract
Introducing an external light field can increase the intrinsic activity and energy efficiency for electrochemical CO2 reduction. Herein, a synergistic strategy that introduces photosensitive components and visible light into a stable system is reported to improve the performance for CO2 reduction. The catalytic kinetics studies indicate that the synergistic effect of implantation of cationic Ti and additional light driving is the primary responsibility for accelerating the first electron transfer to form a *COO- intermediate. This leads to a satisfactory CO2 -to-CO conversion for Zr/Ti-NB-Co in terms of high selectivity (Faradaic efficiency of 93.6% at -0.7 V), remarkable catalytic activity (production rate up to 546 mmol g-1 h-1 at -1.1 V), excellent long-term stability (without performance decay over 11 h), and large turnover frequency of 1028 h-1 at -1.1 V under visible light. These results imply that the photodriven Ti-based porphyrin catalyst not only can deliver more electrons, but also can act as a photoswitch to adjust the electron transfer pathway.

Abstract
Porous organic cages (POCs) represent an emerging class of organic materials with intrinsic porosity. They have found various applications in supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and many other related disciplines, which stem from their molecular host-guest interactions, intrinsic and inter-cage porosity in solid state as well as the diversity of functionalities. Post-synthetic modification (PSM) has emerged as a highly viable strategy for broadening the functions and applications of POCs. Intricate structures, enhanced stability, tunable porosity and guest binding selectivity and sensitivity have been realized through PSM of POCs, which cannot be directly achieved via the predesign and bottom-up assembly from small molecule building blocks. For example, an unstable imine-linked POC can be transformed into a more stable amine-linked cage, whose cavity size can be further tuned by selective binding of some amine groups, offering unusual gas adsorption selectivity for noble gases (e.g., preferred uptake of Xe over Kr). Such improvement of the chemical stability and gas separation properties through the consolidation of linkage and adjustment of porosity is challenging to achieve otherwise. In this tutorial review, we highlight the importance and impact of PSM in engineering the properties of POC molecules, their frameworks, and composites going beyond the direct predesign synthetic strategy. The primary PSM strategies for exploring new compositions, functions and applications as well as their structure-property relationship have been summarized, including cage-to-cage transformation at the molecular level, covalent or noncovalent assembly of POCs into frameworks, and formation of composites with guest species or other additives encapsulated.

Abstract
To illustrate the supramolecular catalysis process in molecular containers, two porphyrinatozinc(II)-faced cubic cages with different sizes were synthesized and used to catalyze acyl-transfer reactions between N-acetylimidazole (NAI) and various pyridylcarbinol (PC) regioisomers (2-PC, 3-PC, and 4-PC). A systemic investigation of the supramolecular catalysis occurring within these two hosts was performed, in combination with a host-guest binding study and density functional theory calculations. Compared to the reaction in a bulk solvent, the results that the reaction of 2-PC was found to be highly efficient with high rate enhancements (kcat/kuncat = 283 for Zn-1 and 442 for Zn-2), as well as the different efficiencies of the reactions with various ortho-substituted 2-PC substrates and NAI derivates should be attributed to the cages having preconcentrated and preoriented substrates. The same cage displayed different catalytic activities toward different PC regioisomers, which should be mainly attributed to different binding affinities between the respective reactant and product with the cages. Furthermore, control experiments were carried out to learn the effect of varying reactant concentrations and product inhibition. The results all suggested that, besides the confinement effect caused by the inner microenvironment, substrate transfer, including the encapsulation of the reactant and the release of products, should be considered to be a quite important factor in supramolecular catalysis within a molecular container.

Abstract
Electrochemical conversion of CO2 into valuable products is a promising approach. Efficient electrocatalysts are highly desirable but remain to be developed. Here, we proposed a molecular encapsulation strategy to enrich intermediates for facilitating electrochemical conversion of CO2 to C2H4. This strategy is combining M-TCPP [M = FeCl, Co, and Ni; TCPP = tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin] with a Cu-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) to create a series of metalloporphyrin-decorated Cu catalysts with a coral-like shape (named as M-TCPP@Cu). M-TCPP in the catalysts could supply more CO intermediates to the Cu sites, giving high selectivity for producing C2H4 and lowering overpotentials for CO2 reduction. Meanwhile, the coral-like structure of the catalyst with abundant active sites is conducive to mass diffusion and benefits the conversion of CO2. We realized a higher C2H4 Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 33.42% at -1.17 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) on the Fe-TCPP@Cu electrode than that on the sole Cu electrode (16.85%, at -1.27 V vs RHE). Furthermore, due to the encapsulated structure resulted from one-pot reaction that ensures the dispersion of active centers in M-TCPP, metalloporphyrin-decorated Cu catalysts show better performance than the physical mixture of Cu-MOFs and M-TPPs (M = FeCl, Co, and Ni; TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin). The results provide a new strategy for the design of high-performance Cu catalysts from Cu-MOFs for CO2 conversion.

Abstract
The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) is a promising strategy to achieve electrical-to-chemical energy storage while closing the global carbon cycle. The carbon-supported single-atom catalysts (SACs) have great potential for electrochemical CO2 RR due to their high efficiency and low cost. The metal centers' performance is related to the local coordination environment and the long-range electronic intercalation from the carbon substrates. This review summarizes the recent progress on the synthesis of carbon-supported SACs and their application toward electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO and other C1 and C2 products. Several SACs are involved, including MNx catalysts, heterogeneous molecular catalysts, and the covalent organic framework (COF) based SACs. The controllable synthesis methods for anchoring single-atom sites on different carbon supports are introduced, focusing on the influence that precursors and synthetic conditions have on the final structure of SACs. For the CO2 RR performance, the intrinsic activity difference of various metal centers and the corresponding activity enhancement strategies via the modulation of the metal centers' electronic structure are systematically summarized, which may help promote the rational design of active and selective SACs for CO2 reduction to CO and beyond.

Abstract
Porous organic cages (POC) are a class of relatively new molecular porous materials, whose concept was raised in 2009 by Cooper’s group and has rarely been directly used in the area of organic catalysis. In this contribution, a novel ionic quasi-porous organic cage (denoted as Iq-POC), a quaternary phosphonium salt, was easily synthesized through dynamic covalent chemistry and a subsequent nucleophilic addition reaction. Iq-POC was applied as an effective nucleophilic catalyst for the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 and epoxides. Owing to the combined effect of the relatively large molecular weight (compared with PPh3+I−) and the strong polarity of Iq-POC, the molecular catalyst Iq-POC displayed favorable heterogeneous nature (i.e., insolubility) in this catalytic system. Therefore, the Iq-POC catalyst could be easily separated and recycled by simple centrifugation method, and the catalyst could be reused five times without obvious loss of activity. The molecular weight augmentation route in this study (from PPh3+I− to Iq-POC) provided us a “cage strategy” of designing separable and recyclable molecular catalysts.

Porous shape-persistent rylene imine cages with tunable optoelectronic properties and delayed fluorescence. Chem Sci 2021; 12:5275-5285.

Abstract
A simultaneous combination of porosity and tunable optoelectronic properties, common in covalent organic frameworks, is rare in shape-persistent organic cages. Yet, organic cages offer important molecular advantages such as solubility and modularity. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of chiral imine organic cages with three built-in rylene units by means of dynamic imine chemistry and we investigate their textural and optoelectronic properties. Thereby we demonstrate that the synthesized rylene cages can be reversibly reduced at accessible potentials, absorb from UV up to green light, are porous, and preferentially adsorb CO2 over N2 and CH4 with a good selectivity. In addition, we discovered that the cage incorporating three perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) units displays an efficient delayed fluorescence. Time-correlated single photon counting and transient absorption spectroscopy measurements suggest that the delayed fluorescence is likely a consequence of a reversible intracage charge-separation event. Rylene cages thus offer a promising platform that allows combining the porosity of processable materials and photochemical phenomena useful in diverse applications such as photocatalysis or energy storage.
