Abstract
One of the world's serious health challenges is cancer. Anti-cancer agents delivered to normal cells and tissues pose several problems and challenges. In this connection, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic technique used for selectively destroying malignant cells while sparing the normal tissues. Development in photosensitisers (PSs) and light sources have to be made for PDT as a first option treatment for patients. In the pursuit of developing new attractive molecules and their formulations for PDT, researchers are working on developing such type of PSs that perform better than those being currently used. For the widespread clinical utilization of PDT, effective PSs are of particular importance. Host-guest interactions based on nanographene assemblies such as functionalized hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronenes, hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes and coronene have attracted increasing attention owing to less complicated synthetic steps and purification processes (gel permeation chromatography) during fabrication. Noncovalent interactions provide easy and facile approaches for building supramolecular PSs and enable them to have sensitive and controllable photoactivities, which are important for maximizing photodynamic effects and minimizing side effects. Various versatile supramolecular assemblies based on cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, calixarenes, porphyrins and pillararenes have been designed in order to make PDT an effective therapeutic technique for curing cancer and tumours. The supramolecular assemblies of porphyrins display efficient electron transfer and fluorescence for use in bioimaging and PDT. The multifunctionalization of supramolecular assemblies is used for designing biomedically active PSs, which are helpful in PDT. It is anticipated that the development of these functionalized supramolecular assemblies will provide more fascinating advances in PDT and will dramatically expand the potential and possibilities in cancer treatments.

Abstract
A rigid wing-shaped bicyclo[2.2.2]octadiene-fused bis-hexapyrrolohexaazacoronene (HPHAC) is synthesized, and subsequent chemical oxidation affords a stable biradical dication and an aromatic tetracation. The physicochemical properties and single-crystal structures in various oxidation states are characterized. The face-to-face π-stacked dimeric structures are observed in the neutral and dicationic states. The HPHAC flakes can act as aromatic walls in a tetracation state, producing enlarged induced magnetic shielding space through the superimposition effect.

Abstract
A series of electron-rich π-extended diindolotriazatruxene-based compounds DIT, 4Py-DIT (bearing pyrene units) and 4PyF-DIT (bearing fluorene units) have been explored and investigated as fluorescence chemosensors. Quantitative analysis through fluorescence titrations showed that the resulting DIT molecules exhibited highly selective response to electron-deficient nitroaromatic explosives. The calculated Stern-Volmer quenching constants (>4.0×103 M-1 ) revealed that these sensors were much more sensitive in solution compared to most of the existing small-molecule fluorescence chemosensors based on pyrene, triphenylene, triphenylamine, and triazatruxene skeletons. Fluorescence quenching showed that the sensors adsorbed on paper were sensitive to explosives in the solid, solution, and vapor phases, with fast response times of about 10 s. Moreover, these chemosensors are reusable for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds as they recover their fluorescence intensity after quenching.

Abstract
π-Expanded butterfly-like 2D fluorenes and 3D spirobifluorenes 1-5 were synthesized via a DDQ-mediated oxidative cyclization strategy with a high regioselectivity. Through structural modification via π-expansion, it was possible to achieve near-ultraviolet absorption, bright-blue emission, very high near-unity fluorescence quantum yields in solution as well as in film states, and deep-lying HOMO energy levels with excellent thermal stabilities. Furthermore, these electron-rich compounds displayed a notable behavior towards sensing of nitroaromatic explosives, such as picric acid, up to a detection limit of 0.2 ppb.

Abstract
Possessing a small size and C3-symmetrical rigid backbone, a coronene derivative was synthesized from β-cyclodextrins and hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene, and then a water-soluble and biocompatible nanographene/polysaccharide supramolecular assembly was successfully fabricated through noncovalent interactions between adamantly grafted hyaluronic acids and β-cyclodextrin-modified hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene. Moreover, the ternary supramolecular assembly showed not only a fluorescence imaging ability toward cancer cells but also good anticancer activity and low toxicity.

Abstract
The detection of explosives is one of the current pressing concerns in global security. In the past few decades, a large number of emissive sensing materials have been developed for the detection of explosives in vapor, solution, and solid states through fluorescence methods. In recent years, great efforts have been devoted to develop new fluorescent materials with various sensing mechanisms for detecting explosives in order to achieve super-sensitivity, ultra-selectivity, as well as fast response time. This review article starts with a brief introduction on various sensing mechanisms for fluorescence based explosive detection, and then summarizes in an exhaustive and systematic way the state-of-the-art of fluorescent materials for explosive detection with a focus on the research in the recent 5 years. A wide range of fluorescent materials, such as conjugated polymers, small fluorophores, supramolecular systems, bio-inspired materials and aggregation induced emission-active materials, and their sensing performance and sensing mechanism are the centerpiece of this review. Finally, conclusions and future outlook are presented and discussed.

Abstract
Carbon-based materials have been widely used in the biomedical fields including drug delivery and cancer therapies. In this paper, a recently synthesized three-dimensional nanographene (NG) based on triptycene self-assembles into nanoparticles which selectively kill human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells as compared to human normal liver HL7702 cells. Obvious differences in cellular accumulation, the endocytic pathway and intracellular trafficking of NG nanoparticles are observed in HepG2 cells and HL7702 cells. Further studies reveal that NG nanoparticles significantly increase the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HepG2 cells, but not in HL7702 cells. NG nanoparticle-induced ROS result in apoptosis induction and the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential in HepG2 cells. Moreover, IKK/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling is found to be activated by NG nanoparticle-induced ROS and serves to antagonize NG nanoparticle-induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Our studies show that the distinct behaviors of cellular uptake and ROS-mediated cytotoxicity are responsible for the selective killing of HepG2 cells. This study provides a foundation for understanding the mechanism of selective induction of apoptosis in cancer cells by NG nanoparticles and designing more effective chemotherapeutical agents.
