Abstract
The establishment of active sites as the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) has recently attracted much attention ranging from homogeneous to heterogeneous systems in the field of catalysis. Their unquenched reactivity of Lewis acid and base pairs in close proximity that are unable to form stable adducts has been shown to activate small molecules such as dihydrogen heterolytically. Herein, we show that grafted Ru metal-organic framework-based catalysts prepared via N-containing linkers are rather catalytically inactive for H2 activation despite the application of elevated temperatures. However, upon light illumination, charge polarization of the anchored Ru bipyridine complex can form a transient Lewis acid-base pair, Ru+-N- via metal-to-ligand charge transfer, as confirmed by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations to carry out effective H2-D2 exchange. FTIR and 2-D NMR endorse the formation of such reactive intermediate(s) upon light irradiation.

Abstract
The property of organic light-responsive materials is determined by their electronic excited states to a large extent, for instance, the radiative decay rate constants, redox potentials, and lifetimes. Tuning the excited state properties with external stimuli will lead to versatile functional materials; a representative example is the fluorescence molecular probes, in which the singlet excited states are controlled by the external stimuli, i.e., by interaction with the analytes. In comparison, controlling the triplet excited state with external stimuli has been rarely reported, although it is also crucial for the development of novel materials for targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) reagents and phosphorescent molecular probes. The reported results show that the principles used in singlet excited state tuning are unable to be simply applied to the triplet excited state. In this review article, we summarized the recent results on controlling the triplet excited states by the external stimuli (chemical or light), and the application of the triplet state tuning in the chemical/light controllable triplet-triplet-annihilation upconversion (TTA UC). We discussed the methods for the control of the triplet states, as well as singlet excited state, for the purpose of controlling the TTA UC. Both successful and unsuccessful methods are discussed. This information is helpful for understanding the photophysical processes in which the triplet excited state is involved, and the development of novel external stimuli-responsive triplet photosensitizers.

Abstract
Four novel transition metal-carborane photosensitisers were prepared by Sonogashira cross-coupling of 1-(4-ethynylbenzyl)-2-methyl-o-carborane (A-CB) with halogenated Ru(ii)- or Ir(iii)-phenanthroline complexes. The resulting boron-rich complexes with one (RuCB and IrCB) or two carborane cages (RuCB2 and IrCB2) were spectroscopically characterised, and their photophysical properties investigated. RuCB displayed the most attractive photophysical properties in solution (λem 635 nm, τT 2.53 μs, and φp 20.4%). Nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption studies were used to explore the 3MLCT nature of the triplet excited states, and the highest singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ) were obtained for the mono-carborane-phenanthroline complexes (RuCB: 52% and IrCB: 25%). None of the complexes produce dark toxicity in SKBR-3 cells after incubation under photodynamic therapy (PDT) conditions. Remarkably, mono-carboranes RuCB and IrCB were the best internalised by the SKBR-3 cells, demonstrating the first examples of tris-bidentate transition metal-carborane complexes acting as triplet photosensitisers for PDT with a high photoactivity; RuCB or IrCB killed ∼50% of SKBR-3 cells at 10 μM after irradiation. Therefore, the high-boron content and the photoactive properties of these photosensitisers make them potential candidates as dual anti-cancer agents for PDT and Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT).

Abstract
Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a powerful tool for mapping surface reactivity. Electrochemical mapping of electrocatalytic processes at the nanoscale is, however, challenging because the surface of a nanoelectrode tip is easily fouled by impurities and/or deactivated by products and intermediates of innersphere surface reactions. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce new types of SECM nanotips based on bimolecular electron transfer between the dissolved electroactive species and a redox mediator attached to the surface of a carbon nanoelectrode. A tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium complex, Ru(bpy)3, that undergoes reversible oxidation/reduction reactions at both positive and negative potentials was used to prepare the SECM nanoprobes for mapping a wide range of electrocatalytic processes through oxidation of H2, reduction of O2, and both oxidation and reduction of H2O2 at the tip. In addition to high-resolution reactivity mapping and localized kinetic measurements, chemically modified nanoelectrodes can serve as nanosensors for a number of important analytes such as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and neurotransmitters.

Abstract
Activatable triplet photosensitization refers to a photosentization process which can be turned on/off easily by external stimulus. Activatable triplet photosensitizations are normally achieved by interfering with the singlet excited state before the intersystem cross process (ISC), i.e., the formation process of triplet states of sensitizer. To achieve novel activatable triplet photosensitization, a disulfide-bridged porphyrin zinc(II) dyad (ZnPor-S-S-ZnPor) is prepared. Although fast ISC can be conducted in this dyad, an extremely low efficiency is obtained when employing this dyad as a triplet donor in triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) for sensitizing perylene. This is because of the presence of electron transfer from the triplet state of the porphyrin zinc(II) unit to the disulfide bond, which quickly quenches the triplet state of the porphyrin zinc(II) unit. This electron transfer process can be stopped by the cleavage of the disulfide bond in the presence of thiol, and TTA-UC efficiency can be enhanced significantly. Our result demonstrates for the first time that the disulfide bond can act as not only an easy cleavage linker but also a triplet electron acceptor. Furthermore, quenching the triplet states of sensitizer by triplet electron transfer provides an alternative protocol for designing activatable triplet sensitizers except controlling the singlet excited state before the ISC process.
