Abstract
The properties of single molecules and molecular aggregates can differ dramatically, leading to a long-standing interest in mesoscale aggregation processes. Herein, a series of acid-base molecular complexes is developed by using a tetraphenylethylene-backboned fluorophore, and investigated the photophysical properties and photochemical activities at different aggregation length scales. This fluorophore, with two basic diethylamine groups and two acidic tetrazole groups, exhibits sparse solubility due to multivalent interactions that cause infinite aggregation. The addition of a third acid leads to the formation of fluorophore/acid complexes with good dispersibility and colloidal stability. This assembly process can be controlled by the use of different acids and their stoichiometry, resulting in aggregates ranging in size from a few to hundreds of nanometers. A crystalline structure is obtained to illustrate the complex properties of the acid-base network. Unlike the single molecule, these complexes show a trend of size-related properties for photoluminescence efficiency and photochemical activity. As the amount of acid added increases, the size of the complexes decreases, the aggregation effect of the complexes on fluorescence emission increases, and the rates of the oxidative photocyclization and photodecomposition slow down. This work may help to understand size-controlled molecular materials at the mesoscale for functional design.

Abstract
Controllable photofluorochromic systems with high contrast and multicolor in both solutions and solid states are ideal candidates for the development of dynamic artificial intelligence. However, it is still challenging to realize multiple photochromism within one single molecule, not to mention good controllability. Herein, we report an aggregation-induced emission luminogen TPE-2MO2NT that undergoes oxidation cleavage upon light irradiation and is accompanied by tunable multicolor emission from orange to blue with time-dependence. The photocleavage mechanism revealed that the self-generation of reactive oxidants driving the catalyst-free oxidative cleavage process. A comprehensive analysis of TPE-2MO2NT and other comparative molecules demonstrates that the TPE-2MO2NT molecular scaffold can be easily modified and extended. Further, the multicolor microenvironmental controllability of TPE-2MO2NT photoreaction within polymer matrices enables the fabrication of dynamic fluorescence images and 4D information codes, providing strategies for advanced controllable information encryption.

Abstract
Two kinds of AIE-active fluorescent organic nanoparticles were designed and constructed as anti-counterfeiting photoresponsive materials. One is fluorescent organic nanoparticles (TPELs) based on a self-assembly strategy, which were self-assembled from novel amphiphilic tetraphenylethylene (TPE) molecules decorated with a lactose moiety and different photoresponsive tags. The other is polymeric fluorescent organic nanoparticles (F-TPEs) derived from the nanoprecipitation strategy, which utilized pluronic copolymer F127 to encapsulate hydrophobic TPEs without lactosyl modifications. Upon UV light irradiation, these AIE-active materials exhibit different photooxidation behaviors in an aqueous solution to give cyan, orange and green fluorescence emissions, and they were successfully used as an anti-counterfeiting fluorescent hydrogel and ink.

Abstract
The restriction of local molecular motions is critical for improving the fluorescence quantum yields (FQYs) and the photostability of fluorescent dyes. Herein, we report a supramolecular approach to enhance the performance of fluorescent dyes by incorporating a linked rotaxane structure with permethylated α-cyclodextrins. Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives generally exhibit low FQYs in solution due to the molecular motions in the excited state. We show that TPE with linked rotaxane structures on two sides displays up to 15-fold higher FQYs. Detailed investigations with variable temperature 1 H NMR, UV-Vis, and photoluminescence spectroscopy revealed that the linked rotaxane structure rigidifies the TPE moiety and thus suppresses the local molecular motions and non-radiative decay. Moreover, the linked rotaxane structure enhances the FQY of the dye in various solvents, including aqueous solutions, and improves the photostability through the inhibition of local molecular motions in the excited TPE.

Abstract
The design of materials with enhanced luminescence properties is a fast-developing field due to the potential applicability of these materials as light-emitting diodes or for bioimaging. A transparent way to enhance the emission properties of interesting molecular candidates is blocking competing and unproductive non-radiative relaxation pathways by the restriction of intramolecular motions. Rationalized functionalization is an important possibility to achieve such restrictions. Using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) based on the ωB97XD functional and the semiempirical tight-binding method including long-range corrections (TD-LC-DFTB), this work investigates the effect of functionalization of the paradigmatic tetraphenylethylene (TPE) on achieving restricted access to conical intersections (RACI). Photodynamical surface hopping simulations have been performed on a larger set of compounds including TPE and ten functionalized TPE compounds. Functionalization has been achieved by means of electron-withdrawing groups, bulky groups which block the relaxation channels via steric hindrance and groups capable of forming strong hydrogen bonds, which restrict the motion via the formation of hydrogen bond channels. Most of the investigated functionalized TPE candidates show ultrafast deactivation to the ground state due to their still existing structural flexibility, but two examples, one containing -CN and -CF3 groups and a second characterized by a network of hydrogen bonds, have been identified as interesting candidates for creating efficient luminescence properties in solution.

Abstract
Fluorescent biomedical materials can visualize subcellular structures and therapy processes in vivo. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon helps suppress the quenching effect in the aggregated state suffered by conventional fluorescent materials, thereby contributing to design strategies for fluorescent biomedical materials. Photoresponsive biomedical materials have attracted attention because of the inherent advantages of light; i.e., remote control, high spatial and temporal resolution, and environmentally friendly characteristics, and their combination with AIE facilitates development of fluorescent molecules with efficient photochemical reactions upon light irradiation. In this review, organic compounds with AIE features for biomedical applications and design strategies for photoresponsive AIE luminogens (AIEgens) are first summarized briefly. Applications are then reviewed, with the employment of photoresponsive and AIE-active molecules for photoactivation imaging, super-resolution imaging, light-induced drug delivery, photodynamic therapy with photochromic behavior, and bacterial targeting and killing being discussed at length. Finally, the future outlook for AIEgens is considered with the aim of stimulating innovative work for further development of this field.

Abstract
Nanomedicine is an emerging area that largely influences the efficacy of various therapies through the rational design of new materials exhibiting more targeted behavior. The synthetic effort, the amount of used material, and the cost are critical parameters to bear in mind if the production of the designed material is intended to be scaled for their widespread use. Even though materials science offers diverse options for different types of therapies, it is a difficult task to meet all the parameters mentioned above. The dendronization appears as an insightful approach to incorporate all the known benefits of the dendritic architecture by the attachment of dendrons to therapeutic agents, but in a much more affordable manner in terms of synthetic effort, amount of material, and cost. As will be presented, the most common dendrons used for biomedical applications are polyamide, polyester, carbosilane, polyether, and glycol-type, which are bonded to biological active molecules (BAMs), or molecular nanoplatforms (MPs) by hydrolysable bonds. Also relevant is the fact that the incorporation of dendrons not larger than third generation (G3) is sufficient to improve essential properties of these molecular systems, such as aqueous solubility, stability, and cellular internalization, among others. The type of dendron and its location on the BAMs or MPs, similar to placing a Lego piece on a model, will be decisive for obtaining the desired properties.

Abstract
Aiming at the construction of novel platform for efficient light harvesting, the precise synthesis of a new family of AIEgen-branched rotaxane dendrimers was successful realized from an AIEgen-functionalized [2]rotaxane through a controllable divergent approach. In the resultant AIE macromolecules, up to twenty-one AIEgens located at the tails of each branches, thus making them the first successful example of AIEgen-branched dendrimers. Attributed to the solvent-induced switching feature of the rotaxane branches, the integrated rotaxane dendrimers displayed interesting dynamic feature upon the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) process. Moreover, novel artificial light-harvesting systems were further constructed based on these AIEgen-branched rotaxane dendrimers, which revealed impressive generation-dependent photocatalytic performances for both photooxidation reaction and aerobic cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction.

Abstract
The utilization of photochemical reaction channel based on radical process is rarely reported, which might be a very efficient and feasible strategy for improving generation of Type I reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work, a double ionic-type aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) of TIdBO was developed as a photosensitizer, of which the potential photocyclization characteristic involving an electron-transfer process had a positive effect on Type I ROS generation in aggregates under continuous light irradiation. Its noticeable photodynamic therapy (PDT) performance and self-monitoring of PDT process by the relationship between cellular morphology change and fluorescence intensity enhancement were achieved. In addition, it showed a good killing ability to microbes and specific interactions with microbes but not cells by regulating the incubation time. These intriguing results reveal a feasible design principle for the implementation of efficient PS preparation in clinical treatment under hypoxic conditions.

Design of Organoiron Dendrimers Containing Paracetamol for Enhanced Antibacterial Efficacy. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 25:molecules25194514.

Abstract
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a common painkiller and antipyretic drug used globally. Attachment of paracetamol to a series of organoiron dendrimers was successfully synthesized. The aim of this study is to combine the benefits of the presence of these redox-active organoiron dendrimers, their antimicrobial activities against some human pathogenic Gram-positive, and the therapeutic characteristics of paracetamol. The antimicrobial activity of these dendrimers was investigated and tested with a minimum inhibitory concentration and this has been reported. Some of these newly synthesized dendrimers exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), and Staphylococcus warneri compared to reference drugs. The results of this study indicate that the antimicrobial efficacy of the dendrimers is dependent on the size of the redox-active organoiron dendrimer and its terminal functionalities. The best result has been recorded for the fourth-generation dendrimer 11, which attached to 48 paracetamol end groups and has 90 units composed of the η6-aryl-η5-cyclopentadienyliron (II) complex. This dendrimer presented inhibition of 50% of the growth (IC50) of 0.52 μM for MRSA, 1.02 μM for VRE, and 0.73 μM for Staphylococcus warneri. The structures of the dendrimers were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), and 13C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. In addition, all synthesized dendrimers displayed good thermal stability in the range of 300–350 °C following the degradation of the cationic iron moieties which occurred around 200 °C.

Abstract
The mechanism of aggregation-induced emission, which overcomes the common aggregation-caused quenching problem in organic optoelectronics, is revealed by monitoring the real time structural evolution and dynamics of electronic excited state with frequency and polarization resolved ultrafast UV/IR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The formation of Woodward-Hoffmann cyclic intermediates upon ultraviolet excitation is observed in dilute solutions of tetraphenylethylene and its derivatives but not in their respective solid. The ultrafast cyclization provides an efficient nonradiative relaxation pathway through crossing a conical intersection. Without such a reaction mechanism, the electronic excitation is preserved in the molecular solids and the molecule fluoresces efficiently, aided by the very slow intermolecular charge and energy transfers due to the well separated molecular packing arrangement. The mechanisms can be general for tuning the properties of chromophores in different phases for various important applications.

Abstract
A series of supramolecular assemblies of types [Ag8 (L)4 ](PF6 )8 and [Ag4 (L)2 ](PF6 )4 , obtained from the tetraphenylethylene (TPE) bridged tetrakis(1,2,4-triazolium) salts H4 -L(PF6 )4 and AgI ions, is described. The assembly type obtained dependends on the N-wingtip substituents of H4 -L(PF6 )4 . Changes in the lengths of the N4-wingtip substituents enables controlled formation of assemblies with either [Ag4 (L)2 ](PF6 )4 or [Ag8 (L)4 ](PF6 )8 stoichiometry. The molecular structures of selected [Ag8 (L)4 ](PF6 )8 and [Ag4 (L)2 ](PF6 )4 assemblies were determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. While H4 -L(PF6 )4 does not exhibit fluorescence in solution, their tetra-NHC (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) assemblies do upon NHC-metal coordination. Upon irradiation, all assemblies undergo a light-induced, supramolecule-to-supramolecule structural transformation by an oxidative photocyclization involving phenyl groups of the TPE core, resulting in a significant change of the luminescence properties.

Abstract
The development of highly emissive dinuclear AgI or AuI complexes [M2 L](PF6 )2 (L=2 a, 2 b; M=Ag, Au) derived from tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based tetrabenzimidazolin-2-ylidene ligands is reported. The new complexes exhibit a remarkable fluorescence enhancement compared to their parent benzimidazolium salts. The quantum yield (ΦF ) value for salt H4 -2 a(PF6 )4 in dilute solution (c=10-5 m) was found to be less than 1 %, whereas its metal complexes show ΦF values up to 55 % at similar solution concentration. This observation can be attributed to the rigidification of the TPE skeleton upon metalation resulting in a restriction of the intramolecular rotation of the phenyl groups. Functionalization of the complexes [M2 2 b](PF6 )2 (M=Ag, Au) with terminal coumarin groups and subsequent photoirradiation yielded the complexes [M2 3 b](PF6 )2 (M=Ag, Au) bearing a new type of ligand with an unaffected TPE moiety.

Abstract
A novel fluorescence chemosensor that can quickly on-site detect synthetic drugs and undergo prescreening is first reported. An eight tetraphenylethene (TPE)-modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) dendrimer is designed and synthesized as an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) chemosensor, which exhibits great enhancement of unique monomer emission in pure tetrahydrofuran (THF) and AIE emission in THF/water, thanks to forming different self-assembly morphologies. In addition, POSS-TPE can sensitively detect methamphetamine and ketamine even in artificial saliva by noncovalent interaction forces. It has great potential to be a new widely applicable AIE chemosensor for aromatic molecules.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is the long-sought solution to the problem of aggregation-caused quenching that has hampered efficient application of fluorescent organic materials. An important goal on the way to fully understand the working mechanism of the AIE process was, for more than a decade, and still remains obtaining more comprehensive insights into the correlation between the ultrafast excited-state dynamics in tetraphenylethylene (TPE)-based molecules and the AIE effect in them. Here we report a number of TPE-based derivatives with varying structural rigidities and AIE properties. Using a combination of ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy and computational studies, we observe a direct correlation between the state-dependent coupling motions and inhibited fluorescence, and prove the existence of photocyclized intermediates in them. We demonstrate that the dominant non-radiative relaxation dynamics, i.e. formation of intermediate or rotation around the elongated C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond, is responsible for the AIE effect, which is strongly structure-dependent but not related to structural rigidity.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FNPs) have been extensively explored for fluorescence "turn-on" bio-imaging applications with the unique advantages over conventional FNPs. Transformation of AIE-active molecules into FNPs can greatly expand their biomedical application potential. Here we reported a novel "one-pot" strategy for fabricating AIE-active FNPs through an ultrasonic-assisted, catalysts-free and solvent-free Kabachnik-Fields (KF) reaction for the first time. The KF reaction can be completed within 10min to generate AIE-active PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs through mixing polyethylenimine and aldehyde group containing AIE dyes and diethyl phosphate. These PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence spectroscopy etc. The cell uptake behavior as well as cell viability of PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs was examined to evaluate their potential for biomedical application. We demonstrated that the amphiphilic α-aminophosphonate polymers could self-assemble into PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs in aqueous solution and showed excellent water dispersibility. TEM image shows the size of PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs is 100-200nm. More importantly, the PTH-CHO-PEI-DEP FNPs emit strong green fluorescence and desirable biocompatibility, making them very suitable for biomedical applications. Finally, thus smart FNPs design together with their excellent performance will open a new avenue in the development of FNPs for following biological processes such as carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Solid state emissive materials with high quantum yields and tunable emissions are desirable for various applications. A new TPE derivative (1) with two carbazole moieties and two cyano groups is reported, which shows typical aggregation induced emission behavior. Four crystals 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d are obtained after crystallization from N,N-dimethylformamid (DMF), trichloromethane (CHCl3 ), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dichloromethane (CH2 Cl2 ), respectively. Crystal structural analyses reveal that (i) molecules of 1 co-crystallize with DMF, CHCl3 , THF, and CH2 Cl2 in 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, respectively, and (ii) conformations of 1 are different within 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d, and compound 1 within crystal 1a adopts the most twisting conformation. Crystalline solids 1a, 1b, 1c, and 1d exhibit high emission quantum yields up to 0.65, but their emission colors are varied from blue to green. In comparison, the amorphous solid of 1 is yellow-emissive with emission maximum at 542 nm. Moreover, the blue- or green-emissive crystalline solids and the yellow-emissive amorphous solid can be inter-converted by the grinding of crystalline solids and exposure of the amorphous solid to vapors of appropriate solvents. It is also demonstrated that microrods of 1a, 1b, and 1d show typical optical waveguiding behavior.

Abstract
Templates with specific microenvironments have been long employed to facilitate specialized reactions. From enzymes to metal organic frameworks (MOFs), various systems have exerted their prowess to affect specific chemical reactions. Here we report, for the first time, the acceleration of a ring closure photo-oxidation reaction due to the specific structural constraints provided by layered materials. A stilbene derivative has been used as a prototype reactant and the di-hydrophenanthrene intermediate has been isolated and characterized en route to the complete photo-oxidation. Combining the gathered evidence, a possible mechanism for the chemical transformation has been proposed. Kinetic analysis showed that layered materials help to manipulate the rate of the electrocyclic ring closure and, in turn, accelerate the complete reaction sequence. The structural microenvironment induced by layered materials could be a unique platform to probe and stabilize a plethora of photo-oxidative reactions and intermediates.

Abstract
We present a nitrogen-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (N-PAH), namely 12-methoxy-9-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,8-diphenyl-4-(pyridin-4-yl)pyreno[1,10,9-h,i,j]isoquinoline (c-TPE-ON), which exhibits high quantum-yield emission both in solution (blue) and in the solid state (yellow). This molecule was unexpectedly obtained by a three-fold, highly regioselective photocyclodehydrogenation of a tetraphenylethylene-derived AIEgen. Based on manifold approaches involving UV/Vis, photoluminescence, and NMR spectroscopy as well as HRMS, we propose a reasonable mechanism for the formation of the disk-like N-PAH that is supported by density functional theory calculations. In contrast to most PAHs that are commonly used, our system does not suffer from entire fluorescence quenching in the solid state due to the peripheral aromatic rings preventing π-π stacking interactions, as evidenced by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Moreover, its rod-like microcrystals exhibit excellent optical waveguide properties. Hence, c-TPE-ON comprises a N-PAH with unprecedented luminescent properties and as such is a promising candidate for fabricating organic optoelectronic devices. Our design and synthetic strategy might lead to a more general approach to the preparation of solution- and solid-state luminescent PAHs.

Abstract
In this paper seven salts of pyridinium-substituted tetraphenylethylene with different anions are reported. They show typical aggregation-induced emission. Crystal structures of three of the salts with (CF(3)SO(2))(2) N(-), CF(3) SO(3)(-), and SbF(6)(-) as the respective counter anions, are determined. The emission behavior of their amorphous and crystalline solids is investigated. Both amorphous and crystalline solids, except for the one with I(-), are highly emissive. Certain amorphous solids are red-emissive with almost the same quantum yields and fluorescence life-times. However, some crystalline solids are found to show different emission colors varying from green to yellow. Thus, their emission colors can be tuned by the counter anions. Furthermore, certain crystalline solids are highly emissive compared to the respective amorphous solids. Such solid-state emission behavior of these pyridinium-substituted tetraphenylethylene salts is interpreted on the basis of their crystal structures. In addition, optical waveguiding behavior of fabricated microrods is presented.

Abstract
Temperature-sensitive organic nanoparticles with AIE effect were assembled in water from tetraphenylethene-based poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (TPE-PNIPAM), which was synthesized by ATRP using TPE derivative as initiator. The size and fluorescence of TPE-PNIPAM nanoparticles can be tuned by varying the temperature. These nanoparticles can be internalized readily by HeLa cells and can be used as long-term tracer in live cells to be retained for as long as seven passages.

Abstract
Despite the identical extended tetraphenylethylene chromophore, the degree of solubility between the peripheral chains and the solvent guides the aggregate morphology. The distinct emission color codes of the two luminogens can distinguish between water and methanol.

Abstract
Self-assembled fluorescent nanoparticles responding to specific stimuli are highly appealing for applications such as labels, probes, memory devices, and logic gates. However, organic analogues are challenging to prepare, due to unfavorable aggregation-caused quenching. We herein report the preparation of self-assembled fluorescent organic nanoparticles in water by means of calixarene-induced aggregation of a tetraphenylethene derivative (QA-TPE) mediated by p-sulfonatocalix[4]arenes. The self-assembled nanoparticles showed interesting photoswitching behaviors, and the fluorescence output of the generated nanoparticles was opposite to that of free QA-TPE both before and after irradiation. Free QA-TPE is nonfluorescent, owing to intramolecular rotations of the phenyl rings. In contrast, the self-assembled nanoparticles that formed upon complexation of QA-TPE with p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene exhibited aggregation-induced emission fluorescence (λ(em) = 480 nm, Φ = 14%), as a result of the inhibition of rotations. Upon UV light irradiation, free QA-TPE was cyclized to the corresponding diphenylphenanthrene, which showed typical fluorescence of a π-conjugated system (λ(em) = 385 nm, Φ = 9.3%), whereas the nanoparticles were nonfluorescent upon irradiation due to the aggregation-caused quenching. In effect, this system allows programmed modulation of TPE fluorescence at two different emission wavelengths by means of host-guest complexation and irradiation. Relative to a single-mode stimulus-responsive system, our new developed system of highly integrated modes into a single molecular unit that can exhibit modulation of fluorescence by multiple stimulus is expected to be more adaptable for practical applications and to show enhanced multifunctionality.
