Abstract
A supramolecular assembly was constructed based on the tetraphenylethylene derivatives (TPEs) and nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril (ns-Q[10]). Upon introduction of the dye Rhodamine B (RB) into the TPEs@ns-Q[10] assembly, an energy transfer process can occur from the TPEs@ns-Q[10] assembly to RB. Moreover, after the addition of Nile Red (NiR), a two-step sequential energy transfer process from the TPEs@ns-Q[10] assembly to RB and then to NiR can occur. Additionally, the dye Eosin Y (ESY) was introduced into the TPEs@ns-Q[10] assembly and an energy transfer process can take place from the TPEs@ns-Q[10] assembly to ESY. To utilize the harvested energy from the TPEs@ns-Q[10]-RB-NiR and TPEs@ns-Q[10]-ESY system, we applied the TPEs@ns-Q[10] assembly-based light-harvesting systems (LHSs) as a catalyst for the advancement of the photocatalytic dehalogenation reaction in aqueous solution. When promoted with 0.5 mol % catalyst, the reaction yield reached 78 and 68%, demonstrating the promising potential of TPEs@ns-Q[10] assembly-based LHSs in the promotion of the photocatalytic dehalogenation reaction.

Abstract
Dimeric cationic cyanostilbenes with peripheral alkyl chains demonstrated aggregation in aqueous media depending on the length of the hydrophobic segment and produced luminescent spherical nano-assemblies in the case of long alkyl chain derivatives. In the presence of heparin, a bio-polyanion that is routinely used as an anticoagulant, the self-assembled structures obtained from the amphiphilic dimers showed the formation of higher-order structures whereas the non-assembling dimers exhibited heparin-induced supramolecular structure formation. In both cases, a significant enhancement in the emission was observed. This led to the detection of heparin in aqueous buffer, serum and plasma with a "turn-on" fluorescence response. Interestingly, these derivatives also exhibited luminescence variation in the presence of ctDNA. However, the response towards DNA was opposite to that observed in the case of heparin i.e., "turn-off'' fluorescence response. Notably, depending on the length of the alkyl segment, divergent DNA binding modes of these derivatives were observed. Due to their enhanced luminescence, the heparin-based co-assemblies were further explored as artificial light-harvesting systems exhibiting an efficient energy transfer process to embedded acceptor dyes with a high antenna effect.

Abstract
Significant advances in nanoparticle-related research have been made in the past decade, and amelioration of properties is considered of utmost importance for improving nanoparticle bioavailability, specificity, and catalytic performance. Nanoparticle properties can be tuned through in-synthesis and post-synthesis functionalization operations, with thermodynamic and kinetic parameters playing a crucial role. In spite of robust functionalization techniques based on surface chemistry, scalable technologies have not been explored well. The coordination enhancement via surface functionalization through organic/inorganic/biomolecules material has attracted much attention with morphology modification and shape tuning, which are indispensable aspects in the colloidal phase during biomedical applications. It is envisioned that surface amelioration influences the anchoring properties of nano interfaces for the immobilization of functional groups and biomolecules. In this work, various nanostructure and anchoring methodologies have been discussed, aiming to exploit their full potential in precision engineering applications. Simultaneous discussions on emerging characterization strategies for functionalized assemblies have been made to gain insights into functionalization chemistry. An overview of current advances and prospects of functionalized nanoparticles has been presented, with an emphasis on controllable attributes such as size, shape, morphology, functionality, surface features, Debye and Casimir interactions.

Abstract
Artificial light-harvesting systems (ALHSs), which are closely related to Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), are among the most attractive scientific topics during the past few decades. Specifically, binary ALHSs that are composed of a fluid donor and acceptor have a simplified composition and high number density of the donor units. However, largely due to the difficulty in obtaining a fluid donor, investigation of these systems is still quite limited, especially for the ionic systems. Herein, we report a new type of binary ALHS using an ionic naphthalimide (NPI) derivative as a donor, which shows greatly improved photoluminescence for its bicontinuous liquid structure. When blending with an acceptor such as rhodamine 6G or trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)styryl]-methylpyridinium iodide, efficient FRET was confirmed by both experimental results and molecular dynamics simulations, with an energy transfer efficiency up to ∼90%. Tunable color, including white-light emission, was achieved by tuning the acceptor/donor ratio, opening the door for a variety of applications such as light-emitting diodes and photoluminescent inks.

Abstract
An artificial light-harvesting system with sequential energy-transfer process was fabricated based on a supramolecular strategy. Self-assembled from the host-guest complex formed by water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5), a bola-type tetraphenylethylene-functionalized dialkyl ammonium derivative (TPEDA), and two fluorescent dyes, Eosin Y (ESY) and Nile Red (NiR), the supramolecular vesicles achieve efficient energy transfer from the AIE guest TPEDA to ESY. ESY can function as a relay to further transfer the energy to the second acceptor NiR and realize a two-step sequential energy-transfer process with good efficiency. By tuning the donor/acceptor ratio, bright white light emission can be successfully achieved with a CIE coordinate of (0.33, 0.33). To better mimic natural photosynthesis and make full use of the harvested energy, the WP5⊃TPEDA-ESY-NiR system can be utilized as a nanoreactor: photocatalyzed dehalogenation of α-bromoacetophenone was realized with 96 % yield in aqueous medium.

Abstract
Organic triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) nanoparticles have emerged as exciting therapeutic agents and imaging probes in recent years due to their unique chemical and optical properties such as outstanding biocompatibility and low power excitation density. In this review, we focus on the latest breakthroughs in such new version of upconversion nanoparticle, including their design, preparation, and applications. First, we will discuss the key principles and design concept of these organic-based photon upconversion in regard to the methods of selection of the related triplet TTA dye pairs (photosensitizer and emitter). Then, we will discuss the recent approaches s to construct TTA-UCNPs including silica TTA-UCNPs, lipid-coated TTA-UCNPs, polymer encapsulated TTA-UCNPs, nano-droplet TTA-UCNPs and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed TTA-UCNPs.

Abstract
The characteristics of chloroplasts harvesting solar energy and conducting energy transfer have inspired chemists to mimic similar processes. However, accurate manipulation to gain regularly displayed antenna chromophores in mimicking chloroplasts is a great challenge. Herein, a rational design is presented that combines orderly arranged chromophores with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) to develop artificial light-harvesting systems. Tetraphenyl ethylene (TPE) molecules, which exhibited strong AIE properties, are considered as building blocks to fabricate high emissive 2D nanosheets and nanovesicles, respectively. Furthermore, the well-aligned TPE molecules are also developed as donor chromophores in light-harvesting processes. After subsequent surface modification by porphyrin molecules as acceptor chromophores, an efficient light-harvesting system has been integrally constructed. This study demonstrates a novel strategy to utilize AIE feature to mimic chloroplasts process in nature.

Abstract
Artificial light-harvesting nanoparticles were prepared from supramolecular polymers comprised of pillar[5]arene with anthracene-derived donors and acceptors through host-guest interactions. The resulting water-dispersible nanoparticles displayed efficient energy transfer and excellent light harvesting ability in part because the steric bulk of pillar[5]arene suppressed the self-quenching of the chromophores.

Abstract
Self-assembly of suitable molecular building blocks is an efficient and convenient approach to generate nanomaterials with various morphologies and functions. Moreover, understanding the nature of molecules and controlling factors of their self-assembly process is crucial in fundamental aspects of molecular self-assembly which provide insights into the design of new assemblies with functional nano-architectures. To this end, the present study reports water induced self-assembled multifaceted morphology formation and the plausible pathway of the morphology transformation of a single poly(aryl ether) dendron amphiphile 1(D). In THF, 1(D) self-assembles into helical fibers. However, with an increase in the water fraction in its THF solution, the morphology changes to nanorods through an intermediate scroll-up pathway of exfoliated fibers. The nanorod formation and transformation of 1(D) are investigated using various microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, which indicate that it has highly ordered multilayered arrays of 1(D) molecules. Finally, these multilayered arrays of 1(D) nanorods are exploited for constructing a model light-harvesting system via the incorporation of small quantities of two newly designed BODIPY based molecules as energy acceptors and 1(D) as an antenna chromophore.

Abstract
Here, we explore the enhancement of single molecule emission by polymeric nano-antenna that can harvest energy from thousands of donor dyes to a single acceptor. In this nano-antenna, the cationic dyes are brought together in very close proximity using bulky counterions, thus enabling ultrafast diffusion of excitation energy (≤30 fs) with minimal losses. Our 60-nm nanoparticles containing >10,000 rhodamine-based donor dyes can efficiently transfer energy to 1-2 acceptors resulting in an antenna effect of ~1,000. Therefore, single Cy5-based acceptors become 25-fold brighter than quantum dots QD655. This unprecedented amplification of the acceptor dye emission enables observation of single molecules at illumination powers (1-10 mW cm-2) that are >10,000-fold lower than typically required in single-molecule measurements. Finally, using a basic setup, which includes a 20X air objective and a sCMOS camera, we could detect single Cy5 molecules by simply shining divergent light on the sample at powers equivalent to sunlight.

Abstract
The design of new generation light-harvesting systems based on conjugated polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) is an emerging field of research to convert solar energy into renewable energy. In this Perspective, we focus on the understanding of the light harvesting processes like exciton dynamics, energy transfer, antenna effect, charge carrier dynamics, and other related processes of conjugated polymer-based functional nanomaterials. Spectroscopic investigations unveil the rotational dynamics of the dye molecules inside of PNPs and exciton dynamics of the self-assembled structures. A detailed understanding of the cascade energy transfer for white light and singlet oxygen generation in multiple fluorophores containing a PNP system by time-resolved spectroscopy is highlighted. Finally, ultrafast spectroscopic investigations provide direct insight into the impacts of electron and hole transfer at the interface in the hybrid materials for photocatalysis and photocurrent generation to construct efficient light-harvesting systems.

Abstract
An efficient artificial light-harvesting system is fabricated from a cyclic polysaccharide, sulfato-β-cyclodextrin (SCD); an aggregation-induced emission molecule, an oligo(phenylenevinylene) derivative (OPV-I); and a fluorescent dye, nile red (NiR), via noncovalent interactions in an aqueous solution. In this system, the OPV-I/SCD supramolecular assembly acts as a donor, and NiR that is loaded into the OPV-I/SCD assembly acts as an acceptor. Significantly, an efficient energy-transfer process occurs between the OPV-I/SCD assembly and the loaded NiR, leading to an extremely high antenna effect.
