Abstract
The direct oxidations of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin using cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate (CTAP), RuCl3/Oxone/base or Ag+/oxalic acid each generate distinctive product mixtures that may contain, inter alia, porpho-mono-, di-, and trilactones. The CTAP and RuCl3/Oxone/base oxidations also generate a unique open chain tripyrrin derived from the degradation of a porpholactone oxazolone moiety. Thus, its formation and structure are distinctly different from all biological or nearly all other nonbiological biliverdin-like linear porphyrinoid degradation products that are derived from ring cleavages between the pyrrolic building blocks.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is widely recognized as an effective approach for treating cancer due to its ability to eliminate cancer cells using chemotherapeutic drugs. However, traditional chemotherapy suffers from various drawbacks, including limited solubility and stability of drugs, severe side effects, low bioavailability, drug resistance, and challenges in tracking treatment efficacy. These limitations greatly hinder its widespread clinical application. In contrast, supramolecular chemotherapy, which relies on host-guest interactions, presents a promising alternative by offering highly efficient and minimally toxic anticancer drug delivery. In this review, an overview of recent advancements in supramolecular chemotherapy based on host-guest interactions is provided. The significant role it plays in guiding cancer therapy is emphasized. Drawing on a wealth of cutting-edge research, herein, a timely and valuable resource for individuals interested in the field of supramolecular chemotherapy or cancer therapy, is presented. Furthermore, this review contributes to the progression of the field of supramolecular chemotherapy toward clinical application.

Abstract
Phototheranostics continues to flourish in cancer treatment. Due to the competitive relationships between these photophysical processes of fluorescence emission, photothermal conversion, and photodynamic action, it is critical to balance them through subtle photosensitizer designs. Herein, it is provided a useful guideline for constructing A-D-A photosensitizers with superior phototheranostics performance. Various cyanoacetate group-modified end groups containing ester side chains of different length are designed to construct a series of A-D-A photosensitizers (F8CA1 ∼ F8CA4) to study the structure-property relationships. It is surprising to find that the photophysical properties of A-D-A photosensitizers can be precisely regulated by these tiny structural changes. The results reveal that the increase in the steric hindrance of ester side chains has positive impacts on their photothermal conversion capabilities, but adverse impacts on the fluorescence emission and photodynamic activities. Notably, these tiny structural changes lead to their different aggregation behavior. The molecule mechanisms are detailedly explained by theoretical calculations. Finally, F8CA2 nanoparticles with more balanced photophysical properties perform well in fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal and type I&II photodynamic synergistic cancer therapy, even under hypoxic conditions. Therefore, this work provides a novel practicable construction strategy for desired A-D-A photosensitizers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer (CC) occupies a leading position in incidence among young women of reproductive age. In this connection, it is urgent to search for the most effective approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PDT method using Cе6 with the control of the photobleaching using video and spectral fluorescence diagnostic methods, to develop the method of fluorescence-assisted systemic photodynamic therapy mediated with chlorin e6 for treatment CIN 3 and CIS. MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized comparative clinical study was conducted involving 94 women aged 18 to 49 years with histologically verified severe intraepithelial squamous cell lesions of the cervix or preinvasive cervical cancer. The patients were included in 2 groups: in the first group conization of the cervix was performed with curettage of the remaining part of the cervical canal; patients in the second group underwent the chlorin e6-mediated fluorescence-assisted systemic photodynamic therapy. RESULTS The absolute majority of patients in the main group after the first course of chlorin e6-mediated fluorescence-assisted systemic photodynamic therapy showed normalization of cytological parameters and colposcopic picture, while women from the comparison group showed signs of cervical lesions statistically significantly more often. These changes corresponded to the dynamics of the proliferation markers expression in the cells of intraepithelial squamous cell lesions. Also, patients of the second group who were planning a pregnancy had better reproductive outcomes after treatment compared to those of the first group. CONCLUSION In general, higher clinical efficacy and safety of the use of the chlorin e6-mediated fluorescence-assisted systemic photodynamic therapy in the treatment of intraepithelial squamous cell lesions and preinvasive cervical cancer have been established compared to the use of standard treatment methods.

Abstract
The remarkable impact of photoredox catalytic chemistries has sparked a wave of innovation, opening doors to novel biotechnologies in the realm of catalytic antitumor therapy. Yet, the quest for novel photoredox catalysts (PCs) suitable for living systems, or the enhancement of catalytic efficacy in existing biocompatible PC systems, persists as a formidable challenge. Within this context, we introduce a readily applicable metal modulation strategy that significantly augments photoredox catalysis within living cells, exemplified by a set of metalloporphyrin complexes termed M-TCPPs (M = Zn, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu). Among these complexes, Zn-TCPP emerges as an exceptional catalyst, displaying remarkable photocatalytic activity in the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and specific amino acids. Notably, comprehensive investigations reveal that Zn-TCPP's superior catalytic prowess primarily arises from the establishment of an efficient oxidative cycle for PC, in contrast to previously reported PCs engaged in reductive cycles. Moreover, theoretical calculations illuminate that amplified intersystem crossing rates and geometry alterations in Zn-TCPP contribute to its heightened photocatalytic performance. In vitro studies demonstrated that Zn-TCPP exhibits therapeutic potential and is found to be effective for photocatalytic antitumor therapy in both glioblastoma G98T cells and 3D multicellular spheroids. This study underscores the transformative role of "metal modulation" in advancing high-performance PCs for catalytic antitumor therapy, marking a significant stride toward the realization of this innovative therapeutic approach.

Abstract
A series of cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes with morpholine and piperazine groups are designed as dual photosensitizers and photothermal agents for more efficient antitumor phototherapy via infrared low-power laser. Their ground and excited state properties, as well as the structural effect on their photophysical and biological properties, are investigated by spectroscopic, electrochemical, and quantum chemical theoretical calculations. They target mitochondria in human melanoma tumor cells and trigger apoptosis related to mitochondrial dysfunction upon irradiation. The Ir(III) complexes, particularly Ir6, demonstrate high phototherapy indexes to melanoma tumor cells and a manifest photothermal effect. Ir6, with minimal hepato-/nephrotoxicity in vitro, significantly inhibits the growth of melanoma tumors in vivo under 808 nm laser irradiation by dual photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy and can be efficiently eliminated from the body. These results may contribute to the development of highly efficient phototherapeutic drugs for large, deeply buried solid tumors.

Abstract
Phototheranostics have emerged as a promising subset of cancer theranostics owing to their potential to provide precise photoinduced diagnoses and therapeutic outcomes. However, the design of phototheranostics remains challenging due to the nature of tumors and their microenvironment, including limitations to the oxygen supply, high rates of recurrence and metastasis, and the immunosuppressive state of cancer cells. Here we report a dual-functional oxygen-independent phototheranostic agent, Ni-2, rationally designed to provide a near-infrared (NIR) photoactivated thermal- and hydroxyl radical (•OH)-enhanced photoimmunotherapeutic anticancer response. Under 880 nm laser irradiation, Ni-2 exhibited high photostability and excellent photoacoustic and photothermal effects with a photothermal conversion efficacy of 58.0%, as well as novel photoredox features that allowed the catalytic conversion of H2O2 to •OH upon photooxidation of Ni(II) to Ni(III). As a multifunctional photoagent, Ni-2 was found not only to inhibit tumor growth in a CT26 tumor-bearing mouse model but also to activate an immune response via a combination of photothermal- and H2O2-induced effects. When combined with an antiprogrammed death-ligand 1 (aPD-L1), Ni-2 treatment allowed for the suppression of distant tumor growth and cancer metastasis. Collectively, the present results provide support for the proposition that Ni-2 or its analogues could emerge as useful tools for photoimmunotherapy. They also highlight the potential of appropriately designed 3d transition metal complexes as "all- in-one" phototheranostics.

Abstract
Multifunctional nanoparticles integrating accurate multi-diagnosis and efficient therapy hold great prospects in tumor theranostics. However, it is still a challenging task to develop multifunctional nanoparticles for imaging-guided effective eradication of tumors. Herein, we developed a near-infrared (NIR) organic agent Aza/I-BDP by coupling 2,6-diiodo-dipyrromethene (2,6-diiodo-BODIPY) with aza-boron-dipyrromethene (Aza-BODIPY). Through encapsulating with an amphiphilic biocompatible copolymer DSPE-mPEG5000, well-distributed Aza/I-BDP nanoparticles (NPs) were developed, which exhibited high 1O2 generation, high photothermal conversion efficiency, and excellent photo-stability. Notably, coassembly of Aza/I-BDP and DSPE-mPEG5000 effectively inhibits H-aggregation of Aza/I-BDP in aqueous solution and enhances the brightness simultaneously up to 31-fold. More importantly, in vivo experiments demonstrated that Aza/I-BDP NPs might be used for NIR fluorescent and photoacoustic imaging-guided photodynamic and photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Metal agents have made incredible strides in preclinical research and clinical applications in recent years, but their short emission/absorption wavelengths continue to be a barrier to their distribution, therapeutic action, visual tracking, and efficacy evaluation. Nowadays, the near-infrared window (NIR, 650-1700 nm) provides a more accurate imaging and treatment option. Thus, there has been ongoing research focusing on developing multifunctional NIR metal agents for imaging and therapy that have deeper tissue penetration. The design, characteristics, bioimaging, and therapy of NIR metal agents are covered in this overview of papers and reports published to date. To start with, we focus on describing the structure, design strategies, and photophysical properties of metal agents from the NIR-I (650-1000 nm) to NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) region, in order of molecular metal complexes (MMCs), metal-organic complexes (MOCs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Next, the biomedical applications brought by these superior photophysical and chemical properties for more accurate imaging and therapy are discussed. Finally, we explore the challenges and prospects of each type of NIR metal agent for future biomedical research and clinical translation.

[PMID: 36794191 PMCID: PMC9906650 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc06435a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Photothermal agents (PTAs) represent a core component of photothermal therapy (PTT). However, the current photothermal dyes are almost derived from well-known chromophores such as porphyrins, cyanine, and BODIPYs, and the design of new chromophores as versatile building blocks for PTA is considerably challenging because of the complexity of the modulation of excited-states. Herein, we adopted the concept of photoinduced nonadiabatic decay (PIND) to develop a photothermal boron-containing indoline-3-one-pyridyl chromophore (viz. BOINPY) with a facile one-pot synthesis and high yields. BOINPY derivatives exhibited specific features that fully address the concerns related to the design of PTA. The behavior and mechanism of BOINPYs for generating heat through the conical intersection pathway, which is called PIND, have been well understood through theoretical calculations. After encapsulation into the F127 copolymer, BOINPY@F127 nanoparticles displayed efficient photothermal conversion and performed well in the treatment of solid tumors upon light irradiation with good biocompatibility. This study provides useful theoretical guidance and concrete photothermal chromophores, which offer a versatile strategy embedding tunable properties for the development of diverse high-performance PTA.

Abstract
Cancer remains as one of the most significant health problems, with approximately 19 million people diagnosed worldwide each year. Chemotherapy is a routinely used method to treat cancer patients. However, current treatment options lack the appropriate selectivity for cancer cells, are prone to resistance mechanisms, and are plagued with dose-limiting toxicities. As such, researchers have devoted their attention to developing prodrug-based strategies that have the potential to overcome these limitations. This tutorial review highlights recently developed prodrug strategies for cancer therapy. Prodrug examples that provide an integrated diagnostic (fluorescent, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging) response, which are referred to as theranostics, are also discussed. Owing to the non-invasive nature of light (and X-rays), we have discussed external excitation prodrug strategies as well as examples of activatable photosensitizers that enhance the precision of photodynamic therapy/photothermal therapy. Activatable photosensitizers/photothermal agents can be seen as analogous to prodrugs, with their phototherapeutic properties at a specific wavelength activated in the presence of disease-related biomarkers. We discuss each design strategy and illustrate the importance of targeting biomarkers specific to the tumour microenvironment and biomarkers that are known to be overexpressed within cancer cells. Moreover, we discuss the advantages of each approach and highlight their inherent limitations. We hope in doing so, the reader will appreciate the current challenges and available opportunities in the field and inspire subsequent generations to pursue this crucial area of cancer research.

Abstract
Triple OsO4-mediated dihydroxylation of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin formed a non-aromatic hexahydroxypyrrocorphin as a single stereo-isomer. A one-step oxidative conversion of all three diol functionalities to lactone moieties generated three out of the four possible porphotrilactone regioisomers that were spectroscopically and structurally characterized. This conversion recovered most of the porphyrinic macrocycle aromatic ring current, as seen in their 1H NMR spectra and modeled using DFT computations. Stepwise OsO4-mediated dihydroxylations of porpho-mono- and -di-lactones generated intermediate oxidation state compounds between the pyrrole-three pyrroline macrocycle of the pyrrocorphin and the pyrrole-three oxazolone chromophore of the trilactones. The aromaticity of these chromophores was reduced with increasing number of oxazolone to pyrroline replacements, showing the importance for the presence of three lactone moieties for the retention of the macrocycle aromaticity in the tris-β,β'-modified macrocycles. This work first describes hexahydoxypyrrocorphins, porphotrislactones, and the oxidation state intermediates between them; furthers the understanding of the roles of β-lactone moieties in the expression of porphyrinic macrocycle aromaticity; and generally broadens access to chemically stable pyrrocorphins and pyrrocorphin analogues.

Abstract
In recent years, lanthanide (Ln) porphyrinoids have received increasing attention as theranostics. Broadly speaking, the term 'theranostics' refers to agents designed to allow both disease diagnosis and therapeutic intervention. This Review summarises the history and the 'state-of-the-art' development of Ln porphyrinoids as theranostic agents. The emphasis is on the progress made within the past decade. Applications of Ln porphyrinoids in near-infrared (NIR, 650-1700 nm) fluorescence imaging (FL), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiotherapy, and chemotherapy will be discussed. The use of Ln porphyrinoids as photo-activated agents ('phototheranostics') will also be highlighted in the context of three promising strategies for regulation of porphyrinic triplet energy dissipation pathways, namely: regioisomeric effects, metal regulation, and the use of expanded porphyrinoids. The goal of this Review is to showcase some of the ongoing efforts being made to optimise Ln porphyrinoids as theranostics and as phototheranostics, in order to provide a platform for understanding likely future developments in the area, including those associated with structure-based innovations, functional improvements, and emerging biological activation strategies.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR, 700-1700 nm) luminescent imaging is an emerging bioimaging technology with low photon scattering, minimal autofluorescence, deep tissue penetration, and high spatiotemporal resolution that has shown fascinating promise for NIR imaging-guided theranostics. In recent progress, NIR luminescent metal complexes have attracted substantially increased research attention owing to their intrinsic merits, including small size, anti-photobleaching, long lifetime, and metal-centered NIR emission. In the past decade, scientists have contributed to the advancement of NIR metal complexes involving efforts to improve photophysical properties, biocompatibility, specificity, pharmacokinetics, in vivo visualization, and attempts to exploit new ligand platforms. Herein, we summarize recent progress and provide future perspectives for NIR metal complexes, including d-block transition metals and f-block lanthanides (Ln) as NIR optical molecular probes for bioassays.

Abstract
Earth-abundant metal-based theranostics, agents that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functions within the same molecule, may hold the key to the development of low-cost personalized medicines. Here, we report a set of O-linked nonaromatic benzitripyrrin (C^N^N^N) macrocyclic organonickel(II) complexes, Ni-1-4, containing strong σ-donating M-C bonds. Complexes Ni-1-4 are characterized by a square-planar coordination geometry as inferred from the structural studies of Ni-1. They integrate photothermal therapy, photothermal imaging, and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) within one system. This makes them attractive as potential phototheranostics. Relative to traditional Ni(II) porphyrins, such as F20TPP (tetrapentafluorophenylporphyrin), the lowest energy absorption of Ni-1 is shifted into the near infrared region, presumably as a consequence of Ni-C bonding. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy combined with theoretical calculations revealed that, upon photoexcitation, a higher population of ligand-centered and 3MLCT states is seen in Ni-1 relative to NiTPBP (TPBP = 6,11,16,21-tetraphenylbenziporphyrin). Encapsulating Ni-1 in 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG2000) afforded nanoparticles, Ni-1@DSPE, displaying red-shifted absorption features, as well as good photothermal conversion efficiency (∼45%) in aqueous media. Proof-of-principle experiments involving thrombus treatment were carried out both in vitro and in vivo. It was found that Ni-1@DSPE in combination with 785 nm photo-irradiation for 3 min (0.3 W/cm2) proved successful in removing blood clots from a mouse thrombus model as monitored by photoacoustic imaging (PAI). The present work highlights the promise of organonickel(II) complexes as potential theranostics and the benefits that can accrue from manipulating the excited-state features of early transition-metal complexes via, for example, interrupting π-conjugation pathways.

Abstract
The replacement of one or more pyrrolic building block(s) of a porphyrin by a nonpyrrolic heterocycle leads to the formation of so-called pyrrole-modified porphyrins (PMPs), porphyrinoids of broad structural variability. The wide range of coordination environments (type, number, charge, and architecture of the donor atoms) that the pyrrole-modified frameworks provide to the central metal ions, the frequent presence of donor atoms at their periphery, and their often observed nonplanarity or conformational flexibility distinguish the complexes of the PMPs clearly from those of the traditional square-planar, dianionic, N4-coordinating (hydro)porphyrins. Their different coordination properties suggest their utilization in areas beyond which regular metalloporphyrins are suitable. Following a general introduction to the synthetic methodologies available to generate pyrrole-modified porphyrins, their general structure, history, coordination chemistry, and optical properties, this Review highlights the chemical, electronic (optical), and structural differences of specific classes of metalloporphyrinoids containing nonpyrrolic heterocycles. The focus is on macrocycles with similar "tetrapyrrolic" architectures as porphyrins, thusly excluding the majority of expanded porphyrins. We highlight the relevance and application of these metal complexes in biological and technical fields as chemosensors, catalysts, photochemotherapeutics, or imaging agents. This Review provides an introduction to the field of metallo-PMPs as well as a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of the art of their synthesis, structures, and properties. It also aims to provide encouragement for the further study of these intriguing and structurally versatile metalloporphyrinoids.

Abstract
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging technology, a three-dimensional hybrid imaging modality that integrates the advantage of optical and acoustic imaging, has great application prospects in molecular imaging due to its high imaging depth and resolution. To endow PA imaging with the ability for real-time molecular visualization and precise biomedical diagnosis, numerous activatable molecular PA probes which can specifically alter their PA intensities upon reacting with the targets or biological events of interest have been developed. This review highlights the recent developments of activatable PA probes for precise biomedical applications including molecular detection of the biotargets and imaging of the biological events. First, the generation mechanism of PA signals will be given, followed by a brief introduction to contrast agents used for PA probe design. Then we will particularly summarize the general design principles for the alteration of PA signals and activatable strategies for developing precise PA probes. Furthermore, we will give a detailed discussion of activatable PA probes in molecular detection and biomedical imaging applications in living systems. At last, the current challenges and outlooks of future PA probes will be discussed. We hope that this review will stimulate new ideas to explore the potentials of activatable PA probes for precise biomedical applications in the future.

Abstract
Biological imaging and biosensing from subcellular/cellular level to whole body have enabled non-invasive visualisation of molecular events during various biological and pathological processes, giving great contributions to the rapid and impressive advances in chemical biology, drug discovery, disease diagnosis and prognosis. Optical imaging features a series of merits, including convenience, high resolution, good sensitivity, low cost and the absence of ionizing radiation. Among different luminescent probes, metal-based molecules offer unique promise in optical bioimaging and biosensing in vitro and in vivo, arising from their small sizes, strong luminescence, large Stokes shifts, long lifetimes, high photostability and tunable toxicity. In this review, we aim to highlight the design of metal-based molecular probes from the standpoint of synthetic chemistry in the last 2 years for optical imaging, covering d-block transition metal and lanthanide complexes and multimodal imaging agents.

Abstract
The salts {[Ln2 Ln*(Hhmq)3 (OAc)3 (hfac)2 ]+ [Ln*(hfac)3 (OAc)(MeOH)]- } (Hhmq=2-methanolquinolin-8-oxide, hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate; Ln, Ln*=Er, Gd, Yb) feature a discrete heteronuclear cation consisting of two types of lanthanide atoms. The quinolinoxy O-atom serves as a μ2 -bridge to two Ln atoms and as a μ3 -bridge to all three atoms, with metal⋅⋅⋅metal distances being around 3.7 Å. For 1 ([Yb2 Er]+ ), near-infrared downshifted luminescence is switched to competitive upconversion luminescence upon irradiation by a 980 nm laser under an extremely low excitation power (0.288 W cm-2 ) through introduction of fluoride ions. The stability of 1 after addition of fluoride was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and multistage mass spectrometry, associated with the 1 H NMR of 6 ([La2 Eu]+ ). More importantly, the at least 20-fold enhancement of the quantum yield in non-deuterated solvents at room temperature under low power densities (2 W cm-2 ) is the highest among the few molecular examples reported.

Abstract
In recent years tremendous effort has been invested in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment with an overall goal of improving cancer management, therapeutic outcome, patient survival, and quality of life. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), which works on the principle of light-induced activation of photosensitizers (PS) leading to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) mediated cancer cell killing has received increased attention as a promising alternative to overcome several limitations of conventional cancer therapies. Compared to conventional therapies, PDT offers the advantages of selectivity, minimal invasiveness, localized treatment, and spatio-temporal control which minimizes the overall therapeutic side effects and can be repeated as needed without interfering with other treatments and inducing treatment resistance. Overall PDT efficacy requires proper planning of various parameters like localization and concentration of PS at the tumor site, light dose, oxygen concentration and heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment, which can be achieved with advanced imaging techniques. Consequently, there has been tremendous interest in the rationale design of PS formulations to exploit their theranostic potential to unleash the imperative contribution of medical imaging in the context of successful PDT outcomes. Further, recent advances in PS formulations as activatable phototheranostic agents have shown promising potential for finely controlled imaging-guided PDT due to their propensity to specifically turning on diagnostic signals simultaneously with photodynamic effects in response to the tumor-specific stimuli. In this review, we have summarized the recent progress in the development of PS-based multifunctional theranostic agents for biomedical applications in multimodal imaging combined with PDT. We also present the role of different imaging modalities; magnetic resonance, optical, nuclear, acoustic, and photoacoustic in improving the pre-and post-PDT effects. We anticipate that the information presented in this review will encourage future development and design of PSs for improved image-guided PDT for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) relies on the use of contrast agents with high molar absorptivity in the NIR-I/NIR-II region. Expanded porphyrins, synthetic analogues of natural tetrapyrrolic pigments (e.g. heme and chlorophyll), constitute as potentially attractive platforms due to their NIR-II absorptivity and their ability to respond to stimuli. Here, we evaluate two expanded porphyrins, naphthorosarin (1) and octaphyrin (4), as stimuli responsive PA contrast agents for functional PAI. Both undergo proton-coupled electron transfer to produce species that absorb well in the NIR-II region. Octaphyrin (4) was successfully encapsulated into 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-poly(ethylene glycol) (DSPE-PEG2000) nanoparticles to afford OctaNPs. In combination with PAI, OctaNPs allowed changes in the acidic environment of the stomach to be visualized and cancerous versus healthy tissues to be discriminated.

Abstract
The development of a facile synthesis and controllable layer stacking approach for covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is an important issue for modulating their properties and realizing their application diversity. Herein, three COF isomers with different stacking models (eclipsed AA, staggered AB, and ABC stacking) were obtained by modulating the reaction temperature and solvent medium. Experimental and theoretical calculations show that the ABC stacking isomer obtained at room temperature is the kinetic product, while the AA stacking isomer prepared by the solvothermal method is a thermodynamic product. Owing to the tautomerism involved in the reaction process, these isomers possess different ratios of enol and keto forms. Thus, they exhibit different generation efficiencies of Type I and Type II reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ABC stacking isomers could be employed as metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysts for visible-light-induced oxidation of amines to imines, owing to the highest generation efficiency of Type I ROS.

Abstract
Multimodal therapy is attracting increasing attention to improve tumor treatment efficacy, but generally requires various complicated ingredients combined within one theranostic system to achieve multiple functions. Herein, a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform based on a single aggregation-induced-emission luminogen (AIEgen), DDTB, is designed to integrate near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, photothermal, photodynamic, and immunological effects. Intravenously injected AIEgen-based nanoparticles can efficiently accumulate in tumors with NIR fluorescence to provide preoperative diagnosis. Most of the tumors are excised under intraoperative fluorescence navigation, whereafter, some microscopic residual tumors are completely ablated by photodynamic and photothermal therapies for maximally killing the tumor cells and tissues. Up to 90% of the survival rate can be achieved by this synergistic image-guided surgery and photodynamic and photothermal therapies. Importantly, the nanoparticles-mediated photothermal/photodynamic therapy plus programmed death-ligand 1 antibody significantly induce tumor elimination by enhancing the effect of immunotherapy. This theranostic strategy on the basis of a single AIEgen significantly improves the survival of cancer mice with maximized therapeutic outcomes, and holds great promise for clinical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Phototheranostics constitute an emerging cancer treatment wherein the core diagnostic and therapeutic functions are integrated into a single photosensitizer (PS). Achieving the full potential of this modality requires being able to tune the photosensitizing properties of the PS in question. Structural modification of the organic framework represents a time-honored strategy for tuning the photophysical features of a given PS system. Here we report an easy-to-implement metal selection approach that allows for fine-tuning of excited-state energy dissipation and phototheranostics functions as exemplified by a set of lanthanide (Ln = Gd, Yb, Er) carbazole-containing porphyrinoid complexes. Femto- and nanosecond time-resolved spectroscopic studies, in conjunction with density functional theory calculations, revealed that the energy dissipation pathways for this set of PSs are highly dependent on the energy gap between the lowest triplet excited state of the ligand and the excited states of the coordinated Ln ions. The Yb complex displayed a balance of deactivation mechanisms that made it attractive as a potential combined photoacoustic imaging and photothermal/photodynamic therapy agent. It was encapsulated into mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) to provide a biocompatible construct, YbL@MSN, which displays a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 45%) and a decent singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ = 31%). Mouse model studies revealed that YbL@MSN allows for both photoacoustic imaging and synergistic photothermal- and photodynamic-therapy-based tumor reduction in vivo. Our results lead us to suggest that metal selection represents a promising approach to fine-tuning the excited state properties and functional features of phototheranostics.

Abstract
Dual phototherapy combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) is considered to be a more effective therapeutic method against cancer than single treatment. Therefore, the development of a single material with both near-infrared (NIR)-laser-triggered PDT and PTT abilities is highly desirable but remains a great challenge. A design philosophy for photosensitizers for integrated PDT and PTT treatment has been put forward: (1) a high molar extinction coefficient in the NIR region; (2) suitable LUMO and T1 energy levels to regulate intersystem crossing for effective singlet oxygen (1O2) generation for PDT; and (3) the suppression of fluorescence emission to enhance the process of nonradiative transition with appropriate chemical modifications. Herein, an "all-in-one" functional material, di-cyan substituted 5,12-dibutylquinacridone (DCN-4CQA), for diagnosis and therapy was obtained. DCN-4CQA possesses dual-functional phototherapeutic activity and NIR fluorescence and it was produced via a facile synthesis process from the classic organic photoelectric material quinacridone. We then prepared smart water-soluble nanoparticles (NPs), DCN-4CQA/F127, using Pluronic® 127 (F127) as a drug carrier. The NPs exhibited excellent biocompatibility, robust photostability, NIR fluorescence, a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 47.3%), and sufficient 1O2 generation (ΦΔ = 24.3%) under NIR laser irradiation. Remarkably, the DCN-4CQA/F127 NPs significantly inhibited tumor growth in mice subjected to NIR laser irradiation. This study provides a new route for the development of highly efficient, low-cytotoxicity photosensitizers for fluorescence-imaging-guided PTT/PDT.

Abstract
meso-Phenyl- and meso-pentafluorophenyl-porpholactones, their metal complexes, as well as porphyrinoids directly derived from them are useful in a number of technical and biomedical applications, and more uses are expected to be discovered. About a dozen competing and complementary pathways toward their synthesis were reported. The suitability of the methods changes with the meso-aryl group and whether the free base or metal derivatives are sought. These circumstances make it hard for anyone outside of the field of synthetic porphyrin chemistry to ascertain which pathway is the best to produce which specific derivative. We report here on what we experimentally evaluated to be the most efficient pathways to generate the six key compounds from the commercially available porphyrins, meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (TFPP): free base meso-tetraphenylporpholactone (TPL) and meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porpholactone (TFPL), and their platinum(II) and zinc(II) complexes TPLPt, TFPLPt, TPLZn, and TFPLZn, respectively. Detailed procedures are provided to make these intriguing molecules more readily available for their further study.

Abstract
The emergence of porpholactone chemistry, discovered over 30 years ago, has significantly stimulated the development of biomimetic tetrapyrrole chemistry. It offers an opportunity, through modifications of non-pyrrolic building blocks, to clarify the relationship between chemical structure and excited-state properties, deciphering the structural code for the biological functions of life pigments. With intriguing photophysical properties in the red to near-infrared (NIR) regions, facile modulation of their electronic nature by fine-tuning chemical structures, and coordination ability with diverse metal ions, these novel porphyrinoids have favorable prospects in the fields of optical materials, bioimaging and therapy, and catalysis. In this Minireview, we summarize the brief history of porpholactone chemistry, and focus on the studies carried out in our group, particularly on the regioisomeric effect, NIR lanthanide luminescence, and metal catalysis. We outline the perspectives of these compounds in the construction of porpholactone-related biomedical applications and optical and energy materials, in order to inspire more interest and further advance bioinspired inorganic chemistry and lanthanide chemical biology.
