[PMID: 39111032 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
A novel CB[6]-based supramolecular assembly [K(ANS)(CB[6])2(DMF)2(H2O)0.5] (1) (CB[6] = cucurbit[6]uril, ANS- = 8-amino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid ion) was successfully synthesized under solvothermal condition. Performance studies have shown that 1 exhibited excellent chemical stability and recycling performance. Meanwhile, 1 exhibited remarkable potential as a fluorescence sensor for the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and rifampicin (RFP) in both aqueous environments and practical samples. This sensing capability is achieved through fluorescence quenching, which offers fast response times and exceptional sensitivity, with detection limits of 0.19 μM for both TNP and 4-NP, and 0.21 μM for RFP. Even more remarkably, an anti-counterfeiting ink based on 1 and a portable test hydrogel were devised for encrypting information and visually detecting using a smartphone application. This work has the potential to expand the utilization of CB[6]-based materials in optical applications.

Tunable multicolor supramolecular assemblies based on phosphorescence cascade energy transfer for photocatalytic organic conversion and anti-counterfeiting. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 675:893-903. [PMID: 39002239 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.07.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Making full use of the captured energy by phosphorescence light-harvesting systems (PLHSs) and the tunable photoluminescence in energy transfer process to realize the multiple applications is still the challenge of PLHSs research. In this study, we have successfully constructed a highly effective PLHS with tunable multicolor luminescence and efficient conversion of photosensitizer types, which can further be used in photocatalytic organic conversion, information anti-counterfeiting and storage. The supramolecular polymer of BDBP-CB[8], which is generated by cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and 4-(4-bromophenyl)-pyridine derivative (BDBP), realizes a phosphorescence emission and a change in luminescence color. Notably, white light emission was achieved and the logic gate systems were constructed utilizing the application of adjustable luminescence color. More interestingly, PLHS can be constructed by employing BDBP-CB[8] as energy donors, Sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) and Cyanine5 (Cy5) as energy acceptors, which results in a remarkably tunable multicolor photoluminescence to achieve the information storage. Furthermore, we have also found that BDBP-CB[8] can serve as type II photosensitizer for the effective production of singlet oxygen (1O2) during the photooxidation process of styrene in aqueous environments, attaining a remarkable output rate reaching as high as 89 %. Particularly, compared with 1O2 produced by type II photosensitizer BDBP-CB[8], the construction of PLHS can effectively convert type II photosensitizer to type I photosensitizer and efficiently generate superoxide anion radical (O2•-), which can be used for photocatalytic cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction in the aqueous solution with a yield of 90 %. Thus, we have created a PLHS that not only achieves tunable multicolor emission for information anti-counterfeiting and storage, but also realizes the conversion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) for different types photocatalytic oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Chloramphenicol (CAP) poses a threat to human health due to its toxicity and bioaccumulation, and it is very important to measure it accurately and sensitively. This work explored a host-guest recognition strategy to mediate dual aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) of 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(4-(pyridin-4-yl) phenyl)-ethene (TPPE) for ratio detection of CAP, in which, cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) served as host to assemble guest TPPE. The resulting supramolecular complex CB[8]-TPPE exhibited excellent dual-AIECL-emission with signal strength approximately four times that of TPPE aggregates and black hole quencher-1 (BHQ1) could efficiently quench dual-AIECL signal. CB[8]-TPPE coupled dual-function quencher BHQ1 and high-efficiency DNA reactor to achieve ultra-sensitive detection of CAP, exhibiting a linearity range of 10 fmol·L-1-100 nmol·L-1 and limit of detection of 1.81 fmol·L-1. CB[8]-TPPE provides a novel way to improve the dual-emission of TPE derivatives and sets up a promising platform for CAP detection, demonstrating a good practical application potential.

Abstract
Photoresponsive multicolor luminescent systems offer interesting functions, which have led to applications in anticounterfeiting and biological imaging. However, expanding the color range of these materials remains a challenging task. Herein, a carbazole-modified dithienylethene derivative (DTE-CZ) that exhibits modulated fluorescence color changes through the photocyclization reaction and photolysis reaction is synthesized. DTE-CZ emits orange fluorescence, and it can release a fluorophore which emits blue fluorescence by the photolysis reaction, resulting in the color change. Upon complexation of DTE-CZ with cucurbit[10]uril (CB[10]), the fluorescence wavelength will have a blue shift and the photolysis reaction will be inhibited. Benefiting from the influence of CB[10] and the photolysis reaction of free guests, the color range of the photoresponsive system which is composed of free guests and host-guest complexes is further extended. White light emission along with a color shift from yellow-green to blue was achieved by adjusting the ratio of free guests to host-guest complexes. Finally, the photoresponsive multicolor systems are utilized to construct a photostimulated PVA film and an information encryption system. This work provides an alternative strategy for the preparing of photoresponsive multicolor luminescent system and modulation of its color range.

Abstract
Organic emitters with both thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have attracted widespread interest for their intriguing luminescent properties. Herein, a series of triphenylamine-substituted isoquinoline derivatives possessing monomeric TADF and aggregated RTP properties are reported. As the molecules exhibited various forms of π-π and charge transfer (CT) stacking with different intensities, inter/intramolecular CT can be meticulously modulated to achieve tunable TADF-RTP. Aggregated phosphorescence originates from intermolecular CT initiated by CT dimers, whereas monomeric TADF is facilitated by intramolecular CT enhanced by π-π dimers. Leveraging the properties of these molecules, luminescent materials with tunable TADF-RTP properties in multistates are obtained by molecular substitution position alignment, dealing with different solvents, grinding, adjusting concentration, changing polymer matrix, photoactivation, and heat treatment. This work is critical for a deeper understanding of construction and regulation of the TADF-RTP dual-channel emission, enabling the development of advanced optoelectronic devices with tailored emission properties.

Abstract
The properties and functions of chromophores utilized by nature are strongly affected by the environment formed by the protein structure in the cells surrounding them. This concept is transferred here to host-guest complexes with the encapsulated guests acting as an environmental stimulus. A new cyclophane host based on coronene bisimide is presented that can encapsulate a wide variety of planar guest molecules with binding constants up to (4.29 ± 0.32) × 1010 M-1 in chloroform. Depending on the properties of the chosen guest, the excited state deactivation of the coronene bisimide chromophore can be tuned by the formation of host-guest complexes toward fluorescence, exciplex formation, charge separation, room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The photophysical processes were investigated by UV/vis absorption, emission, and femto- and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. To enhance the TADF, two different strategies were used by employing suitable guests: the reduction of the singlet-triplet gap by exciplex formation and the external heavy atom effect. Altogether, by using supramolecular host-guest complexation, a versatile multimodal chromophore system is achieved with the coronene bisimide cyclophane.

Abstract
Efficient utilization of light energy is crucial for various technological applications ranging from solar energy conversion to optoelectronic devices. Supramolecular light-harvesting systems (LHS) have emerged as promising platforms for enhancing light absorption and energy transfer process. In this Feature Article, we highlight the utilization of tetraphenylethylene (TPE) chromophores as antennas in supramolecular assemblies for light harvesting applications. TPE, as an archetypal aggregation-induced emission (AIE) chromophore, offers unique advantages such as high photostability and efficient light-harvesting capabilities upon self-assembly. We discuss the design principles and synthetic strategies employed to construct supramolecular assemblies incorporating TPE chromophores, elucidating their roles as efficient light-harvesting antennas. Furthermore, we delve into the mechanisms governing energy transfer processes within these assemblies, such as Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). The potential applications of these TPE-based supramolecular systems in various fields, including photocatalysis, reactive oxygen species generation, optoelectronic devices and sensing, are explored. Finally, we provide insights into future directions and challenges in the development of next-generation supramolecular LHSs utilizing TPE chromophores.

Abstract
Host-guest complex has attracted much attention because of their fantastic capability. Accurate prediction of their binding affinity and enthalpy is essential to the rational design of guest molecules. The attach-pull-release (APR) method proposed by Henriksen et al. (J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2015, 11:4377.) shows good prediction capability of binding affinity especially for host-guest system. In order to further evaluate the performance of APR method in practice, we have conducted the calculations on the macrocycle cucurbit [7]urils (CB7) encapsulated with four structurally similar alkaloids (berberine, coptisine, epiberberine and palmatine) with two force fields (GAFF and GAFF2) and three water models (TIP3P, SPC/E and OPC). Compared to the experimental data, the calculation by the combination of GAFF2 and SPC/E force field presents the best performance, of which the Pearson correlation coefficients (R2) is 0.95, and the root-mean-square-deviation is 3.04 kcal/mol. While the predictions from GAFF force field all overestimated the binding affinity, suggesting a systematic error may be involved. Comparison of calculation also indicates that the accuracy of prediction was susceptible to the combination of force field. Therefore, it would be necessary to repeat the simulation with different combination of force fields in practice.

Abstract
The separation and purification of chemical raw materials, particularly neutral compounds with similar physical and chemical properties, represents an ongoing challenge. In this study, we introduce a class of water-soluble macrocycle compound, calix[2]azolium[2]benzimidazolone (H), comprising two azolium and two benzimidazolone subunits. The heterocycle subunits form a hydrophobic binding pocket that enables H1 to encapsulate a series of neutral guests in water with 1:1 or 2:1 stoichiometry, including aldehydes, ketones, and nitrile compounds. The host-guest complexation in the solid state was further confirmed through X-ray crystallography. Remarkably, H1 was shown to be a nonporous adaptive crystal material to separate valeraldehyde from the mixture of valeraldehyde/2-methylbutanal/pentanol with high selectivity and recyclability in the solid states. This work not only demonstrates that azolium-based macrocycles are promising candidates for the encapsulation of organic molecules but also shows the potential application in separation science.

Abstract
Self-inclusion complexes consisting of host-guest conjugates are one of the unique supramolecular structures because they form in-state and out-state depending on the external stimuli. Despite many reports of the stimuli-responsive self-inclusion complex formation, study of the structural relaxation from out-state to in-state by photoexcitation has been unexplored. Herein, we report that an electron-donating host and an electron-accepting guest conjugate exhibits the structural relaxation from out-state to in-state by photoexcitation. Formation of the in-state in the excited state resulted in exciplex emission along with the locally excited emission from the out-state. Moreover, this structural relaxation by photoexcitation was suppressed not only by temperature, but also by the presence of guest molecules, resulting in changes in the ratio of the dual emission intensities.

Abstract
H2 is one of the most attractive fuel alternatives to the existing fossil fuels that cause detrimental environmental issues. Thus, there has been an upsurge in the research on the production of green hydrogen. In this view, cucurbit[7]uril (CB7)-functionalized Co:Ni alloy nanocomposites with different compositions, reported here for the first time, were synthesized to synergise the catalytic activities of a nanoalloy and CB7 and screened for hydrogen generation via hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB). The (Co85:Ni15)50:(CB7)50 nanocomposite exhibited enhanced catalytic performance for AB hydrolysis even at room temperature as compared to the nanoalloy without CB7. Efficient release of ammonia-free green H2 is ensured by the retention of NH3 by the surface functionalized CB7 macrocycles. For sustained release, a novel and cost-effective procedure was used to regenerate AB from the by-product, and the H2 release activity was verified to be on par with commercial AB. The used nanocomposite magnetically separated from the by-product solution was shown to be an efficient electrochemical catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The cucurbit[7]uril-functionalized Co:Ni nanocomposite demonstrates remarkable dual catalytic performance to generate clean hydrogen from both the hydrolysis of AB at room temperature and the electrochemical HER, thus opening new avenues in supramolecular chemistry for developing noble metal-free catalysts with high activity and long-term stability.

Abstract
Over the past decades, supramolecular luminescent materials (SLMs) have attracted considerable attention due to their dynamic noncovalent interactions, versatile functions, and intriguing applications in many research fields. From construction to application, great efforts and progress have been made in color-tunable SLMs in recent years. In order to realize multicolor luminescence, various design strategies have been proposed. Macrocyclic chemistry, one of the brightest jewels in the field of supramolecular chemistry, has played a crucial role in the construction of stimuli-responsive and emission-tunable SLMs. Moreover, the flexible and tunable conformation and multiple noncovalent complexation sites of the macrocyclic arenes (MAs) afford a new opportunity to create such dynamic smart luminescent materials. Inspired by our reported work on the color-tunable supramolecular crystalline assemblies modulated by the conformation of naphth[4]arene, this Concept provides a summary of the latest developments in the construction of color-tunable MA-based SLMs, accompanied by the various construction strategies. The aim is to provide researchers with a new perspective to construct color-tunable SLMs with fascinating functions.

Abstract
Tunable-lifetime room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have been widely studied due to their broad applications. However, only few reports have achieved wide-range lifetime modulation. In this work, ultra-wide range tunable-lifetime efficient dark blue RTP materials were realized by doping methyl benzoate derivatives into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. The phosphorescence lifetimes of the doped films can be increased from 32.8 ms to 1925.8 ms. Such wide range of phosphorescence lifetime modulation is extremely rare in current reports. Moreover, the phosphorescence emission of the methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate-doped film is located in the dark blue region and the phosphorescence quantum yield reaches as high as 15.4 %, which broadens their applications in organic optoelectronic information. Further studies demonstrated that the reason for the tunable lifetime was that the magnitude of the electron-donating ability of the substituent group modulates the HOMO-LUMO and singlet-triplet energy gap of methyl benzoate derivatives, as well as the ability to non-covalent interactions with PVA. Moreover, the potential applications of luminescent displays and optical anti-counterfeiting of these high-performance dark blue RTP materials have been conducted.

Abstract
Narrowband afterglow materials display interesting functions in high-quality anti-counterfeiting and multiplexed bioimaging. However, there is still a limited exploration of these afterglow materials, especially for those with a full width at half maxima (FWHM) around 30 nm. Here, we report the fabrication of narrowband organic/inorganic hybrid afterglow materials via energy transfer technology. Coronene (Cor) with a long phosphorescence feature and broad phosphorescence band is selected as the donor for energy transfer, and inorganic quantum dots (QDs) of CdSe/ZnS with a narrowband emission are used as acceptors. Upon doping into the organic matrix, the resultant three-component materials exhibit a narrowband afterglow with an afterglow lifetime of approximately 3.4 s and an FWHM of 31 nm. The afterglow wavelength of the afterglow materials can be controlled by the QDs. This work based on organic/inorganic hybrids provides a facile approach for developing multicolor and narrowband afterglow materials, as well as opens a new way for expanding the features of organic afterglow for multifunctional applications. It is expected to rely on narrowband afterglow emitters to solve the "spectrum congestion" problem of high-density information storage in optical anti-counterfeiting and information encryption.

Abstract
The use of single-molecule microscopy is introduced as a method to quantify the photophysical properties of supramolecular complexes rapidly at ultra low concentrations (<1 nM), previously inaccessible. Using a model supramolecular system based on the host-guest complexation of cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) macrocycles together with a fluorescent guest (Ant910Me), we probe fluorescent CB[n] host-guest complexes in the single molecule regime. We show quantification and differentiation of host-guest photophysics and stoichiometries, both in aqueous media and noninvasively in hydrogel, by thresholding detected photons. This methodology has wide reaching implications in aiding the design of next-generation materials with programmed and controlled properties.

Abstract
Different from most of the conventional platforms with dissatisfactory theranostic capabilities, supramolecular nanotheranostic systems have unparalleled advantages via the artful combination of supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology. Benefiting from the tunable stimuli-responsiveness and compatible hierarchical organization, host-guest interactions have developed into the most popular mainstay for constructing supramolecular nanoplatforms. Characterized by the strong and diverse complexation property, cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) shows great potential as important building blocks for supramolecular theranostic systems. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of CB[8]-based supramolecular theranostics regarding the design, manufacture and theranostic mechanism. Meanwhile, the current limitations and corresponding reasonable solutions as well as the potential future development are also discussed.

Abstract
Long-lived and highly efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials are in high demand for practical applications in lighting and display, security signboards, and anti-counterfeiting. Achieving RTP in aqueous solutions, near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescence emission, and NIR-excited RTP are crucial for applications in bio-imaging, but these goals pose significant challenges. Supramolecular self-assembly provides an effective strategy to address the above problems. This review focuses on the recent advances in the enhancement of RTP via supramolecular self-assembly, covering four key aspects: small molecular self-assembly, cocrystals, the self-assembly of macrocyclic hosts and guests, and multi-stage supramolecular self-assembly. This review not only highlights progress in these areas but also underscores the prominent challenges associated with developing supramolecular RTP materials. The resulting strategies for the development of high-performance supramolecular RTP materials are discussed, aiming to satisfy the practical applications of RTP materials in biomedical science.

Abstract
Host-guest supramolecular self-assembly has become one facile but efficient way to regulate the optical properties of conjugated oligomers and construct promising photofunctional materials. Herein, we design two linear conjugated oligomers terminated with two or four pyridinium moieties, which show different 1:1 'head-to-tail' binding patterns with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) to form host-guest supramolecules. After being encapsulated in the hydrophobic cavity of the CB[8] host, the fluorescence emission of the conjugated oligomers undergoes significant changes, resulting in tunable fluorescence color with enhanced quantum yields. Triggered by the aggregation of supramolecules, the regular or rigid binding modes lead to the formation of cuboids and spheroids in nanoscale, respectively. Due to the macrocyclic-confinement effect, the light-driven reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of the host-guest complex is increased significantly, thereby improving the photodynamic antibacterial performance toward Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2308175.

Abstract
The safe and efficient management of hazardous radioactive iodine is significant for nuclear waste reprocessing and environmental industries. A novel supramolecular framework compound based on cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) and 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) is reported in this paper. In the single crystal structure of Q[8]-(4-AP), two 4-AP molecules interact with the outer surface of Q[8] and the two other 4-AP molecules are encapsulated into the Q[8] cavity to form the self-assembly Q[8]-(4-AP). Iodine adsorption experiments show that the as-prepared Q[8]-(4-AP) not only has a high adsorption capacity (1.74 g· g-1) for iodine vapor but also can remove the iodine in the organic solvent and the aqueous solution with the removal efficiencies of 95% and 91%, respectively. The presence of a large number of hydrogen bonds between the iodine molecule and the absorbent, as seen in the single crystal structure of iodine-loaded Q[8]-(4-AP) (I2@Q[8]-(4-AP)), is thought to be responsible for the exceptional iodine adsorption capacity of the material. In addition, the adsorption-desorption tests reveal that the self-assembly material has no significant loss of iodine capture capacity after five cycles, indicating that it has sufficient reusability.

Abstract
The complexation behaviour of Diphenyl viologens (DPVs) with Cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]) was evaluated in detail and the results were reported. In this work, we present the synthesis of various DPVs functionalised with electron withdrawing and electron donating groups (EWGs & EDGs) and investigate their complexation behaviour with CB[7] and CB [8]. Carboxylic acid functionalized DPV's (DPV-COOH) complexation with CB[8] gives additional insights, i.e., indicates hydrogen bonding plays an effective role in the complexation. The formation of a 2:2 quaternary complex of DPV-COOH/CB[8] under neutral pH conditions was supported by various analytical techniques. The complexation of DPVs with CB[7] specifies that irrespective of the functional group attached, they all form a 1:2 ternary complex, but the findings elaborate that the pattern followed in the complexation depends on the EW or EDG attached to the DPVs. The competition experiments conducted between functionalized DPVs and CB[7], CB[8] shows that they have more affinity towards CB[8] than CB[7] because of the better macrocyclic confinement effect of CB[8], as confirmed using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The binding affinity among EWG and EDG functionalised DPVs with CB[8] concludes EDG functionalised DPVs show better affinity towards CB[8], because they can form a charge transfer complex inside the CB[8] cavity. Exploring these host-guest interactions in more complex biological or environmental settings and studying their impact on the functionality of DPVs could be an exciting avenue for future research.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline, often attributed to the deficiency of acetylcholine, which can undergo hydrolysis by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) within the biological milieu. Here, we report a supramolecular strategy that takes advantage of confinement effects to inhibit such a hydrolysis process, shedding some light on AD therapy. A water-soluble and bowl-shaped molecule, hexacarboxylated tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ-C6), was employed to shield acetylcholine (G1) from enzymatic degradation through host-guest binding interactions. Our study revealed highly efficient host-guest interactions with a binding ratio of 1 : 3, resulting in a significant reduction in acetylcholine hydrolysis from 91.1% to 7.4% in the presence of AChE under otherwise identical conditions. Furthermore, TBTQ-C6 showed potential for attenuating the degradation of butyrylcholine (G2) by butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). The broader implications of this study extend to the potential use of molecular containers in various biochemical and pharmacological applications, opening new avenues for research in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Adamantane, a staple in medicinal chemistry, recently became a cornerstone of a supramolecular host-guest drug delivery system, ADA/CB[n]. Owing to a good fit between the adamantane cage and the host cavity of the cucurbit[n]uril macrocycle, formed strong inclusion complexes find applications in drug delivery and controlled drug release. Note that the cucurbit[n]uril host is not solely a delivery vehicle of the ADA/CB[n] system but rather influences the bioactivity and bioavailability of drug molecules and can tune drug properties. Namely, as host-guest interactions are capable of changing the intrinsic properties of the guest molecule, inclusion complexes can become more soluble, bioavailable and more resistant to metabolic conditions compared to individual non-complexed molecules. Such synergistic effects have implications for practical bioapplicability of this complex system and provide a new viewpoint to therapy, beyond the traditional single drug molecule approach. By achieving a balance between guest encapsulation and release, the ADA/CB[n] system has also found use beyond just drug delivery, in fields like bioanalytics, sensing assays, bioimaging, etc. Thus, chemosensing in physiological conditions, indicator displacement assays, in vivo diagnostics and hybrid nanostructures are just some recent examples of the ADA/CB[n] applicability, be it for displacements purposes or as cargo vehicles.

Abstract
Although multiple forms of dimers have been described for GPCR, their dynamics and function are still controversially discussed field. Fluorescence microscopy allows GPCR to be imaged within their native context; however, a key challenge is to site-specifically incorporate reporter moieties that can produce high-quality signals upon formation of GPCR dimers. To this end, we propose a supramolecular sensor approach to detect agonist-induced dimer formation of μ-opioid receptors (μORs) at the surface of intact cells. With the macrocyclic host cucurbit[7]uril and its guest hemicyanine dye tethered to aptamer strands directed against the histidine residues, the sensing module is assembled by host-guest complexation once the histidine-tagged μORs dimerize and bring the discrete supramolecular units into close proximity. With the enhanced sensitivity attributed by the "turn-on" fluorescence emission and high specificity afforded by the intermolecular recognition, in situ visualization of dynamic GPCR dimerization was realized with high precision, thereby validating the supramolecular sensing entity as a sophisticated and versatile strategy to investigate GPCR dimers, which represent an obvious therapeutic target.

Abstract
The biomarker 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) is widely recognized as an indicator of renal oxidative stress injury, making its detection crucial for the early identification of renal insufficiency. This study presents the design and synthesis of a tetraphenylstyrene imidazole derivative (TIPE-MI), which is utilized to create a supramolecular probe in conjunction with cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) through host-guest interactions. The resulting supramolecular self-assembly exhibits excellent optical properties and has been employed for the specific detection of 3-NT through fluorescence quenching. The introduction of 3-NT resulted in a decreased fluorescence intensity of the yellow fluorescent probe, which gradually transitioned from bright yellow to light yellow and then became colorless as the 3-NT concentration was increased. A portable detection platform was devised to augment the efficiency of detection. In order to facilitate biological applications, we have substantiated the probe's exceptional precision in detecting 3-NT in biological samples, encompassing human serum and plasma. The probe also exhibited negligible cytotoxicity. The accumulation of the probe in renal cells elicited a fluorescence signal, thereby indicating the prospective viability of this system for visual detection with renal cytocompatibility.

Abstract
Two supramolecular complexes were prepared using cucurbiturils [CBs] as mediators and a four-armed p-xylene derivative (M1) as a guest molecule. The single crystals of these two complexes were obtained and successfully analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). An unexpected and intriguing 1 : 2 self-assembly arrangement between M1 and CB[8] was notably uncovered, marking its first observation. These host-guest complexes exhibit distinctive photophysical properties, especially emission behaviors. Invaluable insights can be derived from these single-crystal structures. The precious single-crystal structures provide both precise structural information regarding the supramolecular complexes and a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms governing their photophysical properties.

Abstract
Light-driven multicolor supramolecular systems mainly rely on the doping of dyes or a photo-reaction to produce unidirectional luminescence. Herein, we use visible light to drive the bidirectional reversible multicolor supramolecular shuttle from blue to green, white, yellow, up to orange by simple encapsulation of spiropyran-modified cyanostilbene (BCNMC) by the macrocyclic cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) monomer. The resultant host-guest complex displayed enhanced fluorescence properties, i.e. the multicolor fluorescence shuttle changed from blue to orange in the dark within 2 hours and reverted to the original state upon visible light irradiation for 30 s. Benefiting from the sensitivity of the spiropyran moiety to light, it can spontaneously isomerize from the ring-opened state to a ring-closed isomer in aqueous solution, and this photo-isomerization reaction is a reversible process under visible light irradiation, leading to the multicolor luminescence supramolecular shuttle as a result of intramolecular energy transfer. In addition, the light also drove the reversible conversion of the topological morphology of the host-guest complex from two-dimensional nanoplatelets to nanospheres. Different from the widely reported molecular rotaxane "shuttle", the spiropyran supramolecular shuttle confined in the macrocyclic host CB[8] not only modulated a reversible topological morphology by light but also exhibited multicolor luminescence, which was successfully applied in programmed and rewritable information encryption.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a notable surge of interest in the fields of organic and pharmaceutical research about photocatalysts (PCs) and photosensitizers (PSs). In this study, a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) molecule adorned with quaternary ammonium (TMB) functionality was meticulously designed and synthesized. This compound has remarkable characteristics such as exceptional water solubility, great optical qualities, and commendable photostability. It can form a 1:1 complex (TMB-CB[7]) with cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) through host-guest interactions in the aqueous solution and shows obvious fluorescence enhancement. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide anion radical (O2·-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability of TMB-CB[7] were promoted compared with that of TMB in the aqueous solution. More interestingly, the ROS generated from TMB-CB[7] can be used as PCs for aerobic cross dehydrogenation coupling reactions and photooxidation reactions in water with high yields of 89 and 95%, respectively. Therefore, the utilization of a host-guest PS presents a novel and environmentally friendly approach for conducting photocatalyzed organic processes under ambient conditions using visible light.

Abstract
Thiophenol and its derivatives are compounds with high toxicity to organisms and environmental pollution, so it is necessary to detect the level of thiophenols in the environment and biological samples. The probes 1a-b were obtained by introducing the 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether group into diethylcoumarin-salicylaldehyde based compounds. And they can form host-guest compounds with methylated β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD), the association constants of inclusion complexes are 49.2 M-1, 125 M-1 respectively. The fluorescence intensities of probes 1a-b at 600 nm (1a) and 670 nm (1b) increased significantly in thiophenols detection. Meanwhile, with the addition of M-β-CD, the hydrophobic cavity of M-β-CD significantly increased the fluorescence intensity of probes 1a-b, thus the detection limits of probes 1a-b to thiophenols were reduced from 410 nM, 365 nM to 62 nM, 33 nM respectively. Whereas, the good selectivity and short response time of probes 1a-b towards thiophenols was not affected in the presence of M-β-CD. Moreover, probes 1a-b were used for further water sample detection and HeLa cell imaging experiments due to their good response to thiophenols and the results suggested that probes 1a-b had the potential to detect the content of thiophenols in water samples and living cells.

Abstract
Phosphorescence energy transfer systems have been applied in encryption, biomedical imaging and chemical sensing. These systems exhibit ultra-large Stokes shifts, high quantum yields and are colour-tuneable with long-wavelength afterglow fluorescence (particularly in the near-infrared) under ambient conditions. This review discusses triplet-to-singlet PRET or triplet-to-singlet-to-singlet cascaded PRET systems based on macrocyclic or assembly-confined purely organic phosphorescence introducing the critical toles of supramolecular noncovalent interactions in the process. These interactions promote intersystem crossing, restricting the motion of phosphors, minimizing non-radiative decay and organizing donor-acceptor pairs in close proximity. We discuss the applications of these systems and focus on the challenges ahead in facilitating their further development.

Abstract
A photo-responsive host-guest molecular recognition between a cationic pillar[6]arene host and an arylazopyrazole derived guest was established. Based on this novel recognition motif, a photo-controllable supra-amphiphile was constructed. The spontaneous aggregation can be reversibly controlled by irradiation with UV (365 nm) and green light (520 nm), leading to a switch between spherical nanoparticles and vesicle-like aggregates.

Abstract
Fluorescent materials with high brightness play a crucial role in the advancement of various technologies such as bioimaging, photonics, and OLEDs. While significant efforts are dedicated to designing new organic dyes with improved performance, enhancing the brightness of existing dyes holds equal importance. In this study, we present a simple supramolecular strategy to develop ultrabright cyanine-based fluorescent materials by addressing long-standing challenges associated with cyanine dyes, including undesired cis-trans photoisomerization and aggregation-caused quenching. Supra-cyanines are obtained by incorporating cyanine moieties in a cyclic peptide-based supramolecular scaffold, and exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields (up to 50 %) in both solution and in the solid state. These findings offer a versatile approach for constructing highly emissive cyanine-based supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Traditional water-soluble organic macrocyclic receptors generally lack photofunctionality, thus monitoring the drug delivery and the phototheranostic applications of these host-guest macrocyclic systems has been greatly restricted. To address this issue, incorporating π-conjugated dye chromophores as building blocks into macrocyclic molecules is a straightforward and promising strategy. This approach not only imparts intrinsic optical features to the macrocycles themselves but also enhances the host-guest binding ability due to the large planar structures of the dyes. In this feature article, we focus on recent advances in water-soluble macrocyclic compounds based on organic dye chromophores, such as naphthalimide (NDI), perylene diimides (PDI), azobenzene (azo), tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and anthracene, and provide an overview of their various applications including molecular recognition, drug release, biological imaging, photothermal therapy, etc. We hope that this article could be helpful and instructive for the design of water-soluble dye-based macrocycles and the further development of their biomedical applications, particularly in combination with drug therapy and phototheranostics.

Abstract
Afterglow materials are attracting widespread attention owing to their distinctive and long-lived optical emission properties which create exciting opportunities in various fields. Recent research has led to the discovery of many new afterglow materials featuring high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY) and lifetimes of up to several hours under ambient conditions. Afterglow materials are typically categorized according to their luminescence mechanism, such as long-persistent luminescence (LPL), room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Through rational design and novel synthetic strategies to modulate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and populate triplet exciton states (T1), luminophores with long lifetimes and bright afterglow characteristics can be realized. Initial research towards afterglow materials focused mainly on pure inorganic materials, many of which possessed inherent disadvantages such as metal toxicity or low energy emissions. In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials (OIHAMs) have been developed with high PLQY and long lifetimes. These hybrid materials exploit the tunable structure and easy processing of organic molecules, as well as enhanced SOC and intersystem crossing (ISC) processes involving heavy atom dopants, to achieve excellent afterglow performance. In this review, we begin by briefly discussing the structure and composition of inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials, including strategies for regulating their lifetime, PLQY and luminescence wavelength. The specific advantages of organic-inorganic hybrid afterglow materials, including low manufacturing costs, diverse molecular/electronic structures, tunable structures and optical properties, and compatibility with a variety of substrates, are emphasized. Subsequently, we discuss in detail the fundamental mechanisms used by afterglow materials, their classification, design principles, and end applications (including sensing, anticounterfeiting, and photoelectric devices, among others). Finally, existing challenges and promising future directions are discussed, laying a platform for the design of afterglow materials for specific applications.

Abstract
Room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials have enormous potential in many different areas. Additionally, the conversion of natural resources to RTP materials has attracted considerable attention. Owing to their inherent luminescent properties, natural materials can be efficiently converted into sustainable RTP materials. However, to date, only a few reviews have focused on this area of endeavour. Motivated by this lack of coverage, in this Review, we address this shortcoming and introduce the types of natural resource available for the preparation of RTP materials. We mainly focus on the inherent advantages of natural resources for RTP materials, strategies for activating and enhancing the RTP properties of the natural resources as well as the potential applications of these RTP materials. In addition, we discuss future challenges and opportunities in this area of research.

Abstract
Macrocyclic molecules have been used in various fields owing to their guest binding properties. Macrocycle-based host-guest chemistry in solution can allow for precise control of complex formation. Although solution-phase host-guest complexes are easily prepared, their limited stability and processability prevent widespread application. Extending host-guest chemistry from solution to the solid state results in complexes that are generally more robust, enabling easier processing and broadened applications. Macrocyclic compounds in the solid state can encapsulate guests with larger affinities than their soluble counterparts. This is crucial for use in applications such as separation science and devices. In this Review, we summarize recent progress in macrocycle-based solid-state host-guest chemistry and discuss the basic physical chemistry of these complexes. Representative macrocycles and their solid-state complexes are explored, as well as potential applications. Finally, perspectives and challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Supramolecular luminescent material with switchable behavior and photo-induced aggregation with emission enhancement is a current research hot spot. Herein, a size-tunable nano-supramolecular assembly with reversible photoluminescent behavior was constructed by noncovalent polymerization of diarylethene-bridged bis(coumarin) derivative (DAE-CO), cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), and β-cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid (HACD). Benefiting from the macrocyclic confinement effect, the guest molecule DAE-CO was included into the cavity of CB[7] to give enhanced fluorescence emission of the resulting DAE-CO⊂CB[7]2 with longer lifetime at 432 nm to 1.43 ns, thereby further enhancing fluorescence output and lifetime (1.46 ns) when further assembled with HACD, compared with the free DAE-CO (0.95 ns). In addition, DAE-CO, DAE-CO⊂CB[7]2, and DAE-CO⊂CB[7]2&HACD all possessed characteristics of aggregation-induced emission and reversible photo-switched structural interconversion, exhibiting an obvious photophysical activation phenomenon of self-aggregation into larger nanoparticles with increase in fluorescence emission intensity, lifetime, and size after irradiation, which could be increased step by step with the alternating irradiation of 254 nm (5 min) or >600 nm (30 s) repeated 7 times. These supramolecular assemblies were successfully used in the tumor cells' targeted imaging and anti-counterfeiting because of the capability of HACD for recognizing specific receptors overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells and the excellent photo-regulated switch ability of DAE-CO, providing an approach of constructing photo-induced emission-enhanced luminescent materials.

Abstract
Anions play an indispensable role in the balance and regulation of the ecological environment and human health; however, excess anions can cause serious ecological and environment problems. Therefore, the detection and removal of excess anions in aqueous solution is not only a technological problem but also crucial for environmental protection. Herein, a set of water-soluble pyrene-based cationic fluorophores were synthesized, which exhibit high sensitivity for the detection of the anions BF4-, PF6-, and ClO4- via electrostatic interactions. Such fluorescent probes exhibit "turn-on" emission characteristics even at low concentrations of anions due to anion-π+ interactions. Moreover, these fluorescence probes act as efficient precipitating agents for the removal of the BF4-, PF6-, and ClO4- anions from an aqueous environment. This work opens up new avenues for future research on pyrene-based fluorophores as turn-on fluorescence probes for anion detection and as excellent precipitating agents in environmental settings.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry has received much attention for decades. Macrocyclic architectures as representative receptors play a vital role in supramolecular chemistry and are applied in many fields such as supramolecular assembly and host-guest recognition. However, the classical macrocycles generally lack functional groups in the scaffolds, which limit their further applications, especially in optoelectronic materials. Therefore, developing a new design principle is not only essential to better understand macrocyclic chemistry and the supramolecular behaviors, but also further expand their applications in many research fields. In recent years, the doping compounds with main-group heteroatoms (B, N, S, O, P) into the carbon-based π-conjugated macrocycles offered a new strategy to build macrocyclic architectures with unique optoelectronic properties. In particular, the energy gaps and redox behavior can be effectively tuned by incorporating heteroatoms into the macrocyclic scaffolds. In this Minireview, we briefly summarize the design and synthesis of new macrocycles, and further discuss the related applications in optoelectronic materials and supramolecular chemistry.

Abstract
A series of naphthalimide derivatives are synthesized and their binding behavior upon complexation with cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s) has been investigated. With a heavy atom (bromine) on the naphthalimide core, 4-bromo-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives 1-4 show short room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) lifetimes with low quantum yields. Their RTP properties are significantly enhanced in the presence of CB[8] or CB[10] both in aqueous solution and solid state owing to the efficient suppression of nonradiative decay and isolation of quenching factors by the rigid cavity of CB[n]. Without the bromine atom, 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives 5 and 6 show strong excimer emission upon complexation with CB[10] accompanied by fluorescence transition from blue to cyan. The fluorescence colors of 4-(dimethylamino)-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives 7 and 8 change from blue to white to yellow with the addition of CB[n]. This host-guest complexation strategy to modulate the luminescence of the luminophore would further broaden the application of luminescent materials.

Abstract
Hydrocarbon separation is an important process in the field of petrochemical industry, which provides a variety of raw materials for industrial production and a strong support for the development of national economy. However, traditional separation processes involve huge energy consumption. Adsorptive separation based on nonporous adaptive crystal (NAC) materials is considered as an attractive green alternative to traditional energy-intensive separation technologies due to its advantages of low energy consumption, high chemical and thermal stability, excellent selective adsorption and separation performance, and outstanding recyclability. Considering the exceptional potential of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in various supramolecular host-based NACs. Moreover, the current challenges and future directions are illustrated in detail. It is expected that this review will provide useful and timely references for researchers in this area. Based on a large number of state-of-the-art studies, the review will definitely advance the development of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation and stimulate more interesting studies in related fields.

Abstract
In the past half-century, macrocycles with different structures and functions, have played a critical role in supramolecular chemistry. Two macrocyclic moieties can be linked to form bismacrocycle molecules. Compared with monomacrocycle, the unique structures of bismacrocycles led to their specific recognition and assembly properties, also a wide range of applications, including molecular recognition, supramolecular self-assembly, advanced optical material construction, etc. In this review, we focus on the structure of bismacrocycle and their applications. Our goal is to summarize and outline the possible future development directions of bismacrocycle research.

Abstract
Herein, a triphenylamine derivative (TP-3PY) possessing 4-(4-bromophenyl)pyridine (PY) as an electron-accepting group and tris[p-(4-pyridylvinyl)phenyl]amine (TPA) with large two-photon absorption cross-sections as an electron-donating group was obtained, and showed intense absorption in the visible light region (λmax = 509 nm) and weak near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence emission at 750 nm. After complexation with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), TP-3PY showed bright NIR fluorescence emission at 727 nm and phosphorescence emission at 800 nm. When the supramolecular assembly (TP-3PY⊂CB[8]) further interacted with dodecyl-modified sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4AD), the fluorescence and phosphorescence emissions were further enhanced at 710 and 734 nm, respectively. However, only the fluorescence emission of TP-3PY was enhanced in the presence of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and SC4AD. More interestingly, the photoluminescence of TP-3PY⊂CB[8]@SC4AD and TP-3PY⊂CB[7]@SC4AD assemblies could be excited by both visible (510 nm) and NIR light (930 nm). Finally, these ternary supramolecular assemblies with bright NIR light emission were applied to lysosome imaging of tumor cells and real-time biological imaging of mice.

Abstract
The understanding of interactions between organic chromophores and biocompatible luminescent noble metal nanoclusters (NCs) leading to an energy transfer process that has applications in light-harvesting materials is still in its nascent stage. This work describes a photoluminescent supramolecular assembly, made in two stages, employing an energy transfer process between silver (Ag) NCs as the donor and a host-guest system as the acceptor that can find potential applications in diverse fields. Initially, we explored the host-guest chemistry between a cationic guest ethidium bromide and cucurbit[8]uril host to modulate the fluorescence property of the acceptor. The host-guest interactions were characterized by using UV-vis absorption, steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, molecular docking, proton 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and isothermal calorimetry studies. Next, we prepared a series of blue-emitting AgNCs using different templates such as proteins and peptides. We have found that these AgNCs can be employed as a donor in the energy transfer process upon mixing with the above acceptor for emission color tuning. Our in-depth studies also revealed that surface ligands could play a key role in modulating the energy transfer efficiency. Overall, by employing a noncovalent strategy, we have tried to develop Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) pairs using blue-emitting NCs and a host-guest complex that could find potential applications in constructing advanced sustainable light-harvesting, white light-emitting, and anti-counterfeiting materials.

Abstract
Developing more extensive methods to understand the underlying structure-property relationship of mechanochromic luminescent molecules is demanding but remains challenging. Herein, the effect of host-guest interaction on the mechanochromic properties of organic molecules is illustrated. A series of pyridinium-functionalized triphenylamine derivatives show bathochromic-shifted emission upon mechanical stimulation. These derivatives bind to cucurbit[8]uril to form homoternary host-guest inclusion complexes through host-stabilized intermolecular charge transfer interactions. Remarkably, the homoternary complexes exhibit longer emission than that of free guests in the solid state (even longer than ground guests), and a further bathochromic-shifted emission is observed upon grinding. Additionally, a heteroternary complex constructed through the encapsulation of pyrene (donor) and pyridinium (acceptor) guest pair in cucurbit[8]uril also displays the mechanochromic luminescent property. This work not only discloses the effect of host-guest inclusion on the mechanochromic property of organic molecules, but also provides a principle and a facile way to design the sequentially red-shifted mechanochromic materials.

Abstract
Molecular recognition of guest molecules in a confined cavity is one of the important phenomena in biological and artificial molecular systems. When the guest is trapped within an artificial nano-space, its conformation is fixed in an unusual fashion by noncovalent interactions with host frameworks, and also the guest is kept away from the bulk solvent by the steric effect of the host. Therefore, host-guest formations lead to the effective modulation of the chemical and physical properties of guests via noncovalent interactions. In contrast to the many examples of organic guests, the examples of host-guest formation using coordination complex guests have been less explored. This is simply due to the size and shape complementarity problem between small hosts and large coordination complex guests. Resorcin[4]arene-based supramolecular hosts have been shown to provide internal cavities that are large enough to fully accommodate coordination complexes within the internal spaces via effective molecular interactions. In this article, we focus on supramolecular strategies to control the chemical and physical properties of the coordination complex guests within resorcin[4]arene-based supramolecular hosts. By the careful selection of the host and guest complexes, these combinations can produce a new supramolecular system, showing unusual structures, redox, catalytic, and photophysical properties derived from the entrapped coordination complexes.

Abstract
Protein mutations alter protein-protein interactions that can lead to a number of illnesses. Mutations in lamin A (LMNA) have been reported to cause laminopathies. However, the proteins associated with the LMNA mutation have mostly remained unexplored. Herein, a new chemical tool for proximal proteomics is reported, developed by a combination of proximity chemical tagging and a bio-orthogonal supramolecular latching based on cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7])-based host-guest interactions. As this host-guest interaction acts as a noncovalent clickable motif that can be unclicked on-demand, this new chemical tool is exploited for reliable detection of the proximal proteins of LMNA and its mutant that causes laminopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Most importantly, a comparison study reveals, for the first time, mutant-dependent alteration in LMNA proteomic environments, which allows to identify putative laminopathic DCM-linked proteins including FOXJ3 and CELF2. This study demonstrates the feasibility of this chemical tool for reliable proximal proteomics, and its immense potential as a new research platform for discovering biomarkers associated with protein mutation-linked diseases.
