Abstract
A carbazole-based artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) was successfully fabricated based on the supramolecular assembly of AIE-enhanced donor (CTD), water-soluble phosphate-pillar[5]arene (WPP5), and eosin Y (ESY) acceptor. The formed WPP5-CTD possessed remarkable AIE emission, featuring an ideal energy donor for light harvesting. After encapsulation of ESY, the energy of WPP5-CTD was efficiently transferred to ESY in WPP5-CTD-ESY, and the antenna effect was 38.5, which was much higher than that of recently reported LHSs. Notably, WPP5-CTD-ESY was successfully utilized as a photocatalyst to realize the cross-coupling dehydrogenation reaction of diphenylphosphine oxide and benzothiazole derivatives, suggesting great potential for aqueous photocatalytic applications of this LHS.

Abstract
In recent years, various porphyrin dyes have been designed to develop efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Based on our previously reported porphyrin dye XW43, which contains a phenothiazine donor with two diethylene glycol (DEG)-derived substituents, we herein report a porphyrin dye XW89 by introducing a benzo 12-crown-4 (BCE) unit onto the N atom of the phenothiazine donor. On this basis, XW90 and XW91 have been synthesized by replacing a DEG chain in XW89 with two DEG chains and a 12-crown-4 unit, respectively. For iodine electrolyte-based DSSCs, dyes XW89-XW91 exhibit VOC values of 765-779 mV, higher than that of XW43 (755 mV), which may be related to the strong capability of the BCE group in binding Li+ and thus suppressing the downward shift of the TiO2 conduction band and interfacial charge recombination. Moreover, the smaller size of 12-crown-4 than the DEG unit enables higher adsorption amounts of the dyes than XW43, contributing to an enhanced JSC value. Due to the presence of two BCE units, dye XW91 exhibits the highest dye loading amount and JSC of 1.86 × 10-7 mol cm-2 and 19.79 mA cm-2, respectively, affording a high PCE of 11.1%. To further enhance the light-harvesting ability, a concerted companion (CC) dye XW92 has been constructed by linking the two subdye units corresponding to the porphyrin dye XW91 and an organic dye. As a result, XW92 affords an enhanced JSC and efficiency. Further coadsorption of XW92 with chenodeoxycholic acid achieved the highest efficiency of 12.1%. This work provides an effective approach for fabricating efficient DSSCs sensitized by porphyrin and CC dyes based on the introduction of crown ether units with smaller sizes and stronger Li+ affinities.

Abstract
A pyrrolylmethylene appended corrorin 1 was synthesized and coordinated with [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 to afford 1-Rh with unique RhI-η2-CC bonding in addition to the coordination of the dipyrrin-like unit and a carbonyl ligand. Further oxidation of 1 afforded 2, exhibiting a hydrocorrorinone core, and it can be further transformed into pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine incorporated hemiporphycene analogue 3 upon treatment with HOAc. The side chain modifies the reactivity of corrorin and effectively tunes the NIR absorption of the resulting porphyrinoids.

Abstract
Tetracoordinated organoboron dyes exhibiting strong fluorescence in either solution or the solid state are currently receiving much attraction in view of their photovoltaic, optoelectronic, and biological applications. Herein, a series of aromatic-ring-fused BOPPY dyes have been developed by one-pot condensation of formylated isoindoles or indoles and pyridinylhydrazine followed by subsequent borylation coordination. The facile synthesis provides excellent diversity of these unsymmetrical α-benzo- and β-benzothiophene-fused BOPPY dyes with intriguing photophysical properties owing to their rigid and planar structure and extended π-conjugation while containing a reactive site. They display intense green to orange fluorescence in solution and red-to-near-infrared emission in the solid state, with high fluorescence quantum yields up to 92 and 21%, respectively, relatively large Stokes shifts, and excellent photostability. Furthermore, two representative benzo-fused BOPPY probes with morpholine or benzenesulfonamide groups were developed and used to selectively "light up" the subcellular organelles such as lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum under ultralow concentration, respectively.

Abstract
In this work, organic concerted companion (CC) dyes CCOD-1 and CCOD-2 were constructed by covalently linking two organic dye units with complementary absorption spectra. Both CC dyes exhibited intense absorption from 300 to 650 nm with the band edges extended to 700 nm. These CC dyes were used to fabricate dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), and the photovoltaic performance was investigated using different light sources. CCOD-2 possessed bulkier outer shelter than CCOD-1 owing to the longer carbon chains (C12 ) at the donor moiety, and thus it had stronger anti-aggregation and anti-charge-recombination ability. Under simulated sunlight (AM1.5G), CCOD-2 exhibited enhanced photovoltaic behavior with an open-circuit voltage (VOC ) of 759 mV, short-circuit current density (JSC ) of 19.23 mA ⋅ cm-2 , and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.4 %, respectively. Notably, under the illumination of the indoor T5 fluorescent lamp (2500 lux), CCOD-2 afforded an enhanced PCE of 28.0 % with remarkable VOC and JSC of 692 mV and 0.424 mA cm-2 , respectively. Notably, the PCE achieved for CCOD-2 outperformed those of the reference sensitizer N719 and our previously reported CC dyes XW61 and XW70-C8 under the same indoor lamp conditions. In summary, the novel organic CC dyes developed in this work were demonstrated to be promising for fabricating DSSCs to efficiently harvest the energy of indoor lamps.

Abstract
Oxidation of thienyl-blocked bilane and pentapyrrane afforded chain length dependent products of the symmetric dimer D1 and the thienyloligopyrrin-appended pentaphyrin analogue P2, respectively, with the latter formed by simultaneous dimerization and cyclization. Coordination of D1 and P2 with Cu(II) afforded di- and monometallic complexes D1-Cu2 and P2-Cu, respectively. These compounds exhibit distinct NIR absorption, with the absorption tail of D1-Cu2 extended to ca. 1900 nm despite its smaller conjugation framework than that of P2-Cu.

Abstract
To develop efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), concerted companion (CC) dyes XW60-XW63 constructed from the covalent linkage of a strapped porphyrin dye unit and an organic dye unit have been reported to exhibit panchromatic absorption and excellent photovoltaic performance. However, these CC dyes only afforded moderate VOC values of ca. 763 mV, demonstrating relatively weak antiaggregation ability, which remains an obstacle for further enhancing the photovoltaic behavior. To address this problem, we herein develop porphyrin dyes XW77-XW80 with the macrocycles wrapped with alkoxy chains of various lengths (OC6H13-OC22H45) and the corresponding CC dyes XW81-XW84 containing these porphyrin dye units. Interestingly, the new CC dyes XW81-XW83 exhibit increasing VOC from 745 to 784 mV with the chain lengths extended from C6 to C18, and a lowered VOC of 762 mV was obtained for XW84 when the chain length was further extended to C22. As a result, XW83 afforded the highest PCE of 12.2%, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the record efficiency for the iodine electrolyte-based solar cells sensitized with a single dye. These results can be rationalized by the so-called doubly concerted companion (DCC) effects, that is, the two subdye units exhibit not only complementary absorption but also concerted antiaggregation with the long wrapping chains on the porphyrins unit simultaneously protecting the porphyrin macrocycle and the neighboring organic subdye unit, thus affording panchromatic absorption and strong antiaggregation and anticharge-recombination ability. These results provide a new approach for constructing a class of DCC dyes to achieve high-performance DSSCs without using any antiaggregating coadsorbent or absorption-enhancing cosensitizer.

Abstract
Tandem Diels-Alder reactions of masked porphyrindienes (i.e., sulfolenoporphyrins) with benzoquinones and stilbenes, followed by aromatization, have been developed to load porphyrin with mixed annulation units (i.e., terphenyl and naphthoquinone), furnishing the low-symmetry π-extended porphyrins (DxAy) with push-pull skeletons. All low-symmetrical chromophores display panchromatic absorption spectra, which look like a spectral combination of symmetrical congeners (D4/A4) in a certain ratio. Among them, tD2A2 with trans-arrangement of push/pull units possesses the largest maximum centered at 766 nm with the onset around 900 nm. The fusion of the electron-deficient naphthoquinone moiety on the porphyrin core results in the approximately quantitative regulation of the Eox1 and HOMOs (i.e., 0.10-0.13 V increase for the Eox1 and 0.14-0.16 eV decrease for the HOMOs per naphthoquinone unit). In brief, this work provides a new way to construct low-symmetry π-extended porphyrins with tunable properties resorting to the ratios and locations of the annulated push-pull units.

Abstract
A doubly confused thiapentapyrrane NSP-5 was synthesized by acid-catalysed condensation. Subsequent oxidation with DDQ did not afford the expected thiasapphyrin-like product. Instead, two tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, i.e. neo-N-confused phlorin (1) and N-confused phlorin-II (2) were obtained in the yields of 14% and 18%, respectively. The compounds were characterized by NMR, HRMS, and X-ray diffraction analyses. Single crystal structures clearly reveal that the thienyl units are not embedded into the macrocycles, but appended as meso-substituents, and the C[Formula: see text]-N and C[Formula: see text]-C[Formula: see text] cyclization modes can be clearly revealed by the crystal structures of 1 and 2, respectively. The observation that the thienyl unit is not involved in oxidative cyclization may be related to the relatively low reactivity of the thiophene moiety compared with the more electron-rich pyrrole unit. These results indicate that oxidative cyclization of linear thiaoligopyrranes containing terminal thiophene units may be developed as an effective approach for synthesizing nonconjugated macrocycles like phlorin analogues.

Abstract
To fabricate efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) is commonly used as an additive in the electrolytes for improving the photovoltages (VOC). However, TBP cannot play a positive role in improving the photocurrent (JSC) because of the lack of absorption in the visible-wavelength range. We herein report a light-absorbing pyridine derivative N1 as an additive for the axial coordination with porphyrin dyes. N1 was synthesized by introducing a (bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino)anthryl moiety into the para-position of pyridine via an acetylene bridge, and porphyrin dye XW64 containing meso-3,5-disubstituted phenyl groups was synthesized considering that the meta-substituted phenyl groups may induce weaker steric hindrance with the axial pyridyl ligand, as compared with wrapped and strapped porphyrin dyes. Thus, N1 was used as an electrolyte additive together with TBP. When optimized concentrations of 6 mM N1 and 0.5 M TBP were used for fabricating DSSCs based on XW64, enhanced photovoltaic performance was achieved, with JSC, VOC, and efficiency of 15.65 mA·cm-2, 0.701 V, and 7.35%, respectively, superior to those of the corresponding DSSCs without using the additives (JSC = 14.86 mA·cm-2, VOC = 0.599 V, and efficiency = 5.94%). The enhancement of JSC can be ascribed to the improved light-harvesting ability induced by the axially coordinated N1. Furthermore, the two additives also can be used to fabricate efficient solar cells based on the wrapped porphyrin dye XW42, achieving high efficiency of 10.3%, indicative of their general applicability in fabricating high-performance DSSCs. These results indicate that the simultaneous employment of the traditional TBP additive and a pyridyl ligand with light-harvesting ability in the electrolyte for the axial coordination to a porphyrin dye is a promising approach for developing efficient DSSCs.
