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
At present, mainstream room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission relies on organic materials with long-range charge-transfer effects; therefore, exploring new forms of charge transfer to generate RTP is worth studying. In this work, indole-carbazole was used as the core to ensure the narrowband fluorescence emission of the material based on its characteristic short-range charge-transfer effect. In addition, halogenated carbazoles were introduced into the periphery to construct long-range charge transfer, resulting in VTCzNL-Cl and VTCzNL-Br. By encapsulating these phosphors into a robust host (TPP), two host-guest crystalline systems were further developed, achieving efficient RTP performance with phosphorescence quantum yields of 26% and phosphorescence lifetimes of 3.2 and 39.2 ms, respectively.

Abstract
Organic materials that can emit ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) have attracted a great deal of interest. Whether the pure boric acid (BA) solid can emit RTP and the origin of the RTP in BA caused a debate recently. Herein, our first-principles calculations and experimental measurements suggest that RTP of BA originates from the B-O-O-B group in a (H2BO3)2 species, which can be formed by polymerization of two dehydrogenated BA molecules under light irradiation. The calculated absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence spectra of B-O-O-B match well with the experiments. Experimental X-ray photoelectron and X-ray absorption spectra evidence the existence of B-O-O-B in BA. The O-O bond in B-O-O-B can break upon optical excitation, creating two B-O radicals. Radiative transition from localized dangling orbitals of the B-O radicals to the delocalized orbitals of the crystal bulk leads to the observed RTP. Our calculated phosphorescence lifetime is ∼1 s, which agrees well with the experiment.

Abstract
Luminescent materials typically emit their fluorescence or phosphorescence at a specific wavelength with different excitation energies via the so-called Kasha's rule. If fluorescence or phosphorescence emission via anti-Kasha's rule could be achieved, it will hold great promise for applications in many fields. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of new metal-organic halide materials with dual emission of efficient room-temperature phosphorescence and fluorescence, which obey anti-Kasha's rule. Here, three emitting metal-organic halides with formula [ZnX2(bidpe)] (X = Cl for 1, X = Br for 2, X = I for 3, bidpe = 4,4'-bis(imidazol-1-yl)diphenyl ether) were prepared and their photophysical properties were investigated. The complexes exhibit dual emission of fluorescence and phosphorescence via anti-Kasha's rule, and their RTP properties of resultant products are modulated by halide substitution synthesis. DFT calculations indicate that the singlet states exhibit a halide-ligand charge transfer (XLCT) character while the triplet states are dominated by the intraligand π-π* transitions. Furthermore, the multilevel information encryption and anticounterfeiting applications are developed by virtue of anti-Kasha's rule emission.

Abstract
Developing materials with dynamic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) properties is crucial for expanding the applications of organic light-emitting materials. In this study, we designed and synthesized two novel RTP molecules by combining functional units, incorporating the folded unit thianthrene into the classic luminescent cores thioxanthone or anthraquinone to construct TASO and TA2O. In this combination, the TA unit contributes to the enhancement of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), while the luminescent core governs the triplet energy level. After the strategic manipulation of SOC using the thianthrene unit, the target molecules exhibited a remarkable enhancement in RTP performance. This strategy led to the successful development of TASO and TA2O molecules with outstanding dynamic RTP properties when exposed to continuous ultraviolet irradiation, a result that can be ascribed to their efficient RTP, improved absorption ability, and oxygen-sensitive RTP properties. Leveraging the oxygen-mediated ultraviolet-radiation-induced RTP enhancement in TASO-doped polymer films, we developed a novel time-resolved detection technique for identifying phase separation in polymers with varying oxygen permeability. This research offers a promising approach for constructing materials with dynamic RTP properties.

Abstract
The development of bright and long-lived aqueous room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials holds paramount importance in broadening the application scope of RTP material system. However, the conventional RTP materials usually exhibit low efficiency and short lifetime in aqueous solution. Herein, an in situ host-guest strategy is proposed to achieve cyanuric acid (CA)-derived phosphorescent carbon nitrogen dots (CNDs) composite (CNDs@CA) that demonstrates a significant enhancement of both quantum yield (QY) and lifetime mediated by water. Detailed investigations reveal that the robust hydrogen bonding networks between CNDs@CA and water effectively stabilize triplet excitons and suppress nonradiative decays, as well as facilitate efficient energy transfer from CA to CNDs, thereby prolonging the lifetime and enhancing the efficiency of RTP. The phosphorescent QY and lifetime of CNDs@CA can be increased to 26.89% (3.9-fold increase) and 951.25 ms (5.5-fold increase), respectively, with the incorporation of 50 wt% water under ambient conditions. Even in fully aqueous environments (with up to 400 wt% water added), CNDs@CA exhibits persistent water-boosted RTP properties, demonstrating exceptional stability. The robust water-boosted RTP property of CNDs@CA in aqueous solutions presents significant potential for high signal-to-noise ratio afterglow bioimaging as well as advanced information encryption.

Abstract
Metal-free room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials are attracting attention in such applications as organic light-emitting diodes and bioimaging. However, the chemical structures of RTP materials reported thus far are mostly predominantly based on π-conjugated systems incorporating heavy atoms such as bromine atoms or carbonyl groups, resulting in limited structural diversity. On the other hand, triarylboranes are known for their strong Lewis acidity and deep LUMO energy levels, but few studies have reported on their RTP properties. In this study, we discovered that compounds based on a tetracyclic structure containing boron, referred to as benzo[d]dithieno[b,f]borepins, exhibit strong solid-state reddish phosphorescence even in air. Quantum chemical calculations, including those for model compounds, revealed that the loss of planarity of the tetracyclic structure increases spin-orbit coupling matrix elements, thereby accelerating the intersystem crossing process. Moreover, single-crystal X-ray structural analysis and natural energy decomposition analysis suggested that the borepin compounds without bromine or oxygen atoms, unlike typical RTP materials, exhibit red-shifted phosphorescence in the crystalline state owing to structural relaxation in the T1 state. Additionally, the borepin compounds showed potential application as bioimaging dyes.

Abstract
Endowing the widely-used synthetic polymer nylon with high-performance organic room-temperature phosphorescence would produce advanced materials with a great potential for applications in daily life and industry. One key to achieving this goal is to find a suitable organic luminophore that can access the triplet excited state with the aid of the nylon matrix by controlling the matrix-luminophore interaction. Herein we report highly-efficient room-temperature phosphorescence nylons by doping cyano-substituted benzimidazole derivatives into the nylon 6 matrix. These homogeneously doped materials show ultralong phosphorescence lifetimes of up to 1.5 s and high phosphorescence quantum efficiency of up to 48.3% at the same time. The synergistic effect of the homogeneous dopant distribution via hydrogen bonding interaction, the rigid environment of the matrix polymer, and the potential energy transfer between doped luminophores and nylon is important for achieving the high-performance room-temperature phosphorescence, as supported by combined experimental and theoretical results with control compounds and various polymeric matrices. One-dimensional optical fibers are prepared from these doped room-temperature phosphorescence nylons that can transport both blue fluorescent and green afterglow photonic signals across the millimeter distance without significant optical attenuation. The potential applications of these phosphorescent materials in dual information encryption and rewritable recording are illustrated.

Abstract
It is of practical significance to develop polymer-based room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials with ultralong lifetime and multicolor afterglow. Herein, the benzocarbazole derivatives were selected and combined with a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix by a coassembly strategy. Owing to the hydrogen-bonding interactions between benzocarbazole derivatives and the PVA matrix, the nonradiative transition and the quenching of triplet excitons are effectively inhibited. Therefore, the maximum phosphorescence emission lifetime of 2202.17 ms from ABfCz-PVA and the maximum phosphorescence quantum efficiency of 34.97% from ABtCz-PVA were obtained, respectively. In addition, commercially available dye molecules were selected to construct phosphorescent resonance energy transfer (PRET) systems for energy acceptors, enabling full-color afterglow emission in blue, green, yellow, red, and even white. Based on the characteristics of prepared RTP materials, multifunctional applications to flexibility, information encryption, and erasable drawing were deeply explored.

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
Macromolecular contrast agents (CAs) usually possess excellent contrast ability and tumor-targeting ability in comparison with small-molecule CAs, especially for early tumor detection. Herein, cyclodextrin-conjugated low-molecular-weight polyethyleneimine was synthesized as a macromolecular backbone. Afterward, a linear polymer with adamantane terminal and Gd chelates was synthesized, followed by conjugating with the backbone via host-guest interaction. Finally, folic acid was conjugated onto the as-prepared CAs through bioorthogonal chemistry, which endowed the CAs with the capability to accumulate into the tumor region. Compared to Magnevist (r1 = 4.25 mM-1 s-1) used in clinic, the PC/Ad-PEG2000-PLL(DTPA-Gd)-FA exhibited higher longitudinal relaxivity (r1 = 11.62 mM-1 s-1) with excellent biocompatibility. Furthermore, in vivo experiments demonstrated that PC/Ad-PEG2000-PLL(DTPA-Gd)-FA could effectively accumulate in the tumor region and produce a brighter image than that of Magnevist. The H&E staining and metabolic data further illustrated that this CA possessed excellent biocompatibility in vivo. Finally, these results above suggest that this macromolecular CA could be a potential candidate as a MRI CA for tumor-targeted diagnosis.

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
Phosphorescence, characterized by luminescent lifetimes significantly longer than that of biological autofluorescence under ambient environment, is of great value for biomedical applications. Academic evidence of fluorescence imaging indicates that virtually all imaging metrics (sensitivity, resolution, and penetration depths) are improved when progressing into longer wavelength regions, especially the recently reported second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window. Although the emission wavelength of probes does matter, it is not clear whether the guideline of "the longer the wavelength, the better the imaging effect" is still suitable for developing phosphorescent probes. For tissue-specific bioimaging, long-lived probes, even if they emit visible phosphorescence, enable accurate visualization of large deep tissues. For studies dealing with bioimaging of tiny biological architectures or dynamic physiopathological activities, the prerequisite is rigorous planning of long-wavelength phosphorescence, being aware of the cooperative contribution of long wavelengths and long lifetimes for improving the spatiotemporal resolution, penetration depth, and sensitivity of bioimaging. In this Review, emerging molecular engineering methods of room-temperature phosphorescence are discussed through the lens of photophysical mechanisms. We highlight the roles of phosphorescence with emission from visible to NIR-II windows toward bioapplications. To appreciate such advances, challenges and prospects in rapidly growing studies of room-temperature phosphorescence are described.

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
This minireview focuses on recent advancements in organic molecular-to-supramolecular self-assembled room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials and their prospective biomedical applications. RTP materials, having their unique capacity to emit long-lasting phosphorescence at ambient temperature, have piqued researchers' interest in various biological applications, including biosensing, bioimaging, drug delivery, and photodynamic therapy (PDT). These materials have several benefits, including high sensitivity, remarkable photostability, and low cytotoxicity. RTP materials' self-assembly into supramolecular structures improves their performance and broadens their uses. Researchers have built organic RTP systems with long-lasting phosphorescence by leveraging weak noncovalent interactions in aquatic conditions. These materials have demonstrated incredible promise as biosensors that enable sensitive analyte detection and as photosensitizers in PDT that target and sensitize specific cell types. The review also outlines future directions and challenges in developing and utilizing pure organic RTP materials for biological imaging purposes, providing valuable guidelines for their future design and application.

Abstract
Simple and efficient designs that enable a wide range of phosphorescence emission in organic materials have ignited scientific interest across diverse fields. One particularly promising approach is the cocrystallization strategy, where organic cocrystals are ingeniously formed through relatively weaker and dynamic non-covalent interactions. In our present study, we push the boundaries further by extending this cocrystal strategy to incorporate donor-acceptor components, stabilized by various halogen bonding interactions. This non-covalent complexation triggers ambient, charge-transfer phosphorescence (3CT), which can be precisely tuned across a broad spectrum by a modular selection of components with distinct electronic characteristics. At the core of our investigation lies the electron-deficient phosphor, pyromellitic diimide, which, upon complexation with different donors based on their electron-donating strength, manifests a striking array of phosphorescence emission from CT triplet states, spanning from green to yellow to reddish orange accompanied by noteworthy quantum yields. Through a systematic exploration of the electronic properties using spectroscopic studies and molecular organization through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, we decisively establish the molecular origin of the observed phosphorescence. Notably, our work presents, for the first time, an elegant demonstration of tunable 3CT phosphorescence emission in intermolecular donor-acceptor systems, highlighting their immense significance in the quest for efficient organic phosphors.

Abstract
Macrocyclic confinement-induced supramolecular luminescence materials have important application value in the fields of bio-sensing, cell imaging, and information anti-counterfeiting. Herein, a tunable multicolor lanthanide supramolecular assembly with white light emission is reported, which is constructed by co-assembly of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) encapsulating naphthylimidazolium dicarboxylic acid (G1 )/Ln (Eu3+ /Tb3+ ) complex and carbon quantum dots (CD). Benefiting from the macrocyclic confinement effect of CB[7], the supramolecular assembly not only extends the fluorescence intensity of the lanthanide complex G1 /Tb3+ by 36 times, but also increases the quantum yield by 28 times and the fluorescence lifetime by 12 times. Furthermore, the CB[7]/G1 /Ln assembly can further co-assemble with CD and diarylethene derivatives (DAE) to realize the intelligently-regulated full-color spectrum including white light, which results from the competitive encapsulation of adamantylamine and CB[7], the change of pH, and photochromic DAE. The multi-level logic gate based on lanthanide supramolecular assembly is successfully applied in anti-counterfeiting system and information storage, providing an effective method for the research of new luminescent intelligent materials.

Abstract
New acyclic cucurbit[n]urils (ACBs) with eight carboxylate groups were synthesized. These hosts are highly soluble in water, and can form stable inclusion complexes with cationic bitter compounds. ACBs are confirmed to be non-toxic and biocompatible. Two-bottle preference (TBP) tests on mice show that all ACBs are tasteless to mammals. ACBs are discovered to mask the bitterness of berberine and denatonium benzoate, but not quinine hydrochloride, due to different binding modes.

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
The advent of enzyme-facilitated cascade events in which endogenous substrates within the human body are used to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) has spawned novel cancer treatment possibilities. In this study, a supramolecular cascade catalytic nanozyme system was successfully developed, exhibiting photothermal-enhanced multienzyme cascade catalytic and glutathione (GSH) depletion activities and ultimately triggering the apoptosis-ferroptosis synergistic tumor therapy. The nanozyme system was fabricated using β-cyclodextrin-functionalized polydopamine (PDA) as the substrate, which was then entangled with polyoxometalate (POM) via electrostatic forces and assembled with adamantane-grafted hyaluronic acid and glucose oxidase (GOx) via host-guest supramolecular interaction for tumor targeting and GOx loading. The catalytic function of GOx facilitates the conversion of glucose to H2O2 and gluconic acid. In turn, this process affirms the propitious generation of hydroxyl radical (•OH) through the POM-mediated cascade catalysis. Additionally, the POM species actively deplete the intracellular GSH pool, initiating a cascade catalytic tumor therapy. In addition, the PDA-POM-mediated photothermal hyperthermia boosted the cascade catalytic effect and increased ROS production. This confers considerable promise for photothermal therapy (PTT)/nanocatalytic cancer therapy on supramolecular nanozyme systems. The in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy studies demonstrated that the supramolecular cascade catalytic nanozyme system was effective at reducing tumor development while maintaining an acceptable level of biocompatibility. Henceforth, this study is to widen the scope of cascade catalytic nanoenzyme production using supramolecular techniques, as well as endeavor to delineate a prospective pathway for the application of PTT-enhanced nanocatalytic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Due to the unclear mechanism and lack of effective design for color-tunable ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) in a single-component molecule, the development of new types of single-component UOP materials with color-tunable property remains challenging. Herein, commercially available triphenylmethylamine-based single-component phosphors featuring color-tunablity and ultralong lifetime (0.56 s) are reported. The changed afterglow colors from cyan to orange were observed after different wavelengths of UV excitation. Crystal structure and calculation studies show that multiple emission centers in the aggregated states may be responsible for the color-tunablity. In addition, visual probing of UV light (from 260 to 370 nm) and colorful anti-counterfeiting were conducted. More importantly, UV light ranging from 350 to 370 nm could be detected with the minimal interval of 2 nm.

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
Boronate assemblies, derived from benzene-1,4-diboronic acid, showed room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in both the solid-state and dispersions, being quite sensitive to the preparation conditions. Our chemometrics-assisted quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) analysis between the nanostructure and RTP behavior of boronate assemblies led us not only to understand their RTP mechanism but also to predict the RTP properties of unknown assemblies from the PXRD patterns.

Abstract
In this work, an efficient polymer-based organic afterglow system, which shows reversible photochromism, switchable ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP), and prominent water and chemical resistance simultaneously, has been developed for the first time. By doping phenoxazine (PXZ) and 10-ethyl-10H-phenoxazine (PXZEt) into epoxy polymers, the resulting PXZ@EP-0.25 % and PXZEt@EP-0.25 % films show unique photoactivated UOP properties, with phosphorescence quantum yields and lifetimes up to 10.8 % and 845 ms, respectively. It is found that the steady-state luminescence and UOP of PXZ@EP-0.25 % are switchable by light irradiation and thermal annealing. Moreover, the doped films can still produce conspicuous UOP after soaking in water, strong acid and base, and organic solvents for more than two weeks, exhibiting outstanding water and chemical resistance. Inspired by these exciting results, the PXZ@EP-0.25 % has been successfully exploited as an erasable transparent film for light printing.

Abstract
Herein, a series of carbon dot composites (CDC) with full-color and long-lived room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) are prepared by a simple solid-phase one-step method from a single non-conjugated and non-aromatic carbon source. The RTP emission wavelength can be adjusted from 462 to 623 nm by changing the feeding ratio and reaction temperature. The luminescent lifetime and quantum yield of a green emissive CDC (AB-CDC-3) reach 1.1 s and 39%, respectively, because of the close interaction between carbon dots and inorganic matrix. Due to the existence of multiple luminescent centers, these CDC exhibit excitation wavelength-dependent RTP and a white emission when excited at a specific wavelength. A single-component afterglow luminescent diode based on AB-CDC-4 shows a high-quality white emission with CIE of (0.30, 0.33) and color-rendering index of 88. Based on the unique photophysical properties of the composites, they exhibit huge application potential in the field of multilevel anti-counterfeiting, fingerprint identification, and optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The pursuit of high molecular binding affinity using conventional crown ethers in water remains a challenging task in the field of supramolecular chemistry and may hold great promise in the creation of advanced biocompatible nanoconstructs. In this work, the molecular binding strength toward a series of structurally relevant cationic guests has been greatly enhanced by tetrasulfonated 1,5-dianthracenyl-42-crown-10 and as investigated by means of 1H NMR, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy, the host-guest association constants can reach up to 108 M-1 order of magnitude in aqueous solution. X-ray crystal diffraction analysis further demonstrates that the aromatic dication can be tightly encapsulated in the ring of anthracene-derived crown ether via multiple π-stacking and electrostatic interactions. Meanwhile, the obtained association constants are remarkably higher than the ones in the cases of the known benzene- and naphthalene-derived sulfonated crown ethers, substantiating that the appropriate extension of π-conjugation in the molecular skeleton of crown ether is a feasible method in attaining a highly affiliative host-guest complex. Taken together, our results indicate that the anthracene-based sulfonated crown ether can be developed as a new family of water-soluble macrocyclic receptors in the fabrication of functional nanoarchitectures.

Abstract
Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have widespread applications in biological imaging, anticounterfeiting, and optoelectronic devices. Because of the predesignability of metal-organic complexes (MOCs), the RTP materials based on MOC systems have received huge attention from researchers. The coordinate anchoring of luminophores to enhance the rigidity of organic molecules and restrict the nonradiative transition offers opportunities for generating MOC materials with captivating RTP performance. Hitherto, most of the MOC-based RTP materials feature a single luminophore ligand. The development of new MOC systems with RTP functionality is still challenging. Herein, we use the mixed-ligand synthetic strategy to produce isostructural MOCs, [Zn(TIMB)(X2-TPA)]·H2O (1, X = Cl; 2, X = Br; TIMB = 1,3,5-tris(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene; H2-X2-TPA = 2,5-dichloroterephthalic and 2,5-dibromoterephthalic acid), and modulate the RTP properties of resultant products via the synergy of coordinate anchoring and substitution synthesis. 1 and 2 feature similar coordination layers composed of neutral TIMB and anionic X2-TPA2- ligands, which provide a good structural model to tune the RTP performances of final products via substitution synthesis. Different from the reported RTP materials based on MOC systems, our study provides a general way to build and modulate MOC-based RTP materials with the assistance of coordinate anchoring and substitution synthesis strategies.

Abstract
Traditional drugs have the disadvantages of poor permeability and low solubility, which makes the utilization of pesticides lower and brings many side effects. With the continuous development of supramolecular chemistry in recent years, it has also played an irreplaceable role in the field of pharmaceutical science. Supramolecular macrocycles, such as crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, pillararenes and cucurbiturils, are potentially good candidates for drug carriers due to their biocompatibility, hydrophobic cavity and ease of derivatization. The encapsulation of drugs based on host-guest interaction has the advantage of being adjustable and reversible as well as improving the low availability of drugs. Here, the recent advances in methods and strategies for drug encapsulation and release based on supramolecular macrocycles with host-guest interactions have been systematically summarized, laying a bright foundation for the development of novel nanopesticide preparations in the future and pointing out future directions of novel biopesticide research.

Abstract
Early detection of cancer can effectively improve the survival rate of cancer patients. Fluorescence imaging has the advantages of high sensitivity and rapid imaging, and is widely used in the precise imaging detection of tumors. In this study, five kinds of Au-rare earth bimetallic
nanoclusters (Au/Ln NCs) were prepared by template method using five representative rare earth elements doped with gold. The morphologies, surface charges, sizes, fluorescence quantum yields and maximum fluorescence emission wavelengths of these five kinds of Au/Ln NCs were characterized and
contrasted. The findings indicated that the Au/Ce nanoclusters (Au/Ce NCs) prepared by Ce doping have the longest fluorescence emission wavelength (695 nm) and higher quantum yield, which could effectively avoid the interference of autofluorescence, and was suitable for fluorescence imaging
of tumor cells. In order to improve the specific accumulation of nanoclusters in tumor cells, Au/Ce NCs were coated with folic acid modified liposomes (lip-FA) to constructed a targeted fluorescent imaging probe with near-infrared response (Au/Ce@lip-FA), which was successfully used for fluorescence
imaging of tumor cells. The probe has the characteristics of stable fluorescence signal, good targeting, easy internalization, and safe metabolism, and can provide high-resolution and high-brightness imaging information, which is expected to play an important role in the clinical diagnosis
and surgical treatment of tumors.
