Abstract
Asymmetric catalysis is a major theme of research in contemporary synthetic organic chemistry. The discovery of general strategies for highly enantioselective photochemical reactions, however, has been a relatively recent development, and the variety of photoreactions that can be conducted in a stereocontrolled manner is consequently somewhat limited. Asymmetric photocatalysis is complicated by the short lifetimes and high reactivities characteristic of photogenerated reactive intermediates; the design of catalyst architectures that can provide effective enantiodifferentiating environments for these intermediates while minimizing the participation of uncontrolled racemic background processes has proven to be a key challenge for progress in this field. This review provides a summary of the chiral catalyst structures that have been studied for solution-phase asymmetric photochemistry, including chiral organic sensitizers, inorganic chromophores, and soluble macromolecules. While some of these photocatalysts are derived from privileged catalyst structures that are effective for both ground-state and photochemical transformations, others are structural designs unique to photocatalysis and offer insight into the logic required for highly effective stereocontrolled photocatalysis.

Abstract
Several sulfoxide- and sulfone-bridged β-cyclodextrin (CD) dimers were synthesized for mediating the enantiodifferentiating [4+4] photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC). The complexation behavior of these chiral hosts with AC was investigated by UV-vis, circular dichroism, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopies and certified the formation of 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 host-guest complexes. The product distribution and enantioselectivity of the photoreaction turned out to be a critical function of the chemical structure of bridged CDs. Comparing to the sulfur-bridged 2AX -3GX β-CD dimer 7, the conversion of the photolyzes with sulfoxide-bridged was significantly improved, and the ee of cyclodimer 2 was remarkably increased from -82.8% with 7 to -96.7% with the sulfoxide-bridged 2AX -3GX β-CD dimer 8. The relative yields and ee values of the slipped cyclodimers 5 and 6 were greatly enhanced in the presence of 6 M CsCl. The reaction selectivity is susceptible to the pH variation of the aqueous buffer solution, demonstrating that the supramolecular photochirogenesis is controlled by multidimensional factors, including the chemical structure of the chiral host, solvent, and pH conditions.

Abstract
Photochemical reactions are a powerful tool in (bio)materials design due to the spatial and temporal control light can provide. To extend their applications in biological setting, the use of low-energy, long wavelength light with high penetration propertiesis required. Further regulation of the photochemical process by additional stimuli, such as pH, will open the door for construction of highly regulated systems in nanotechnology- and biology-driven applications. Here we report the green light induced [2+2] cycloaddition of a halochromic system based on a styrylquinoxaline moiety, which allows for its photo-reactivity to be switched on and off by adjusting the pH of the system. Critically, the [2+2] photocycloaddition can be activated by green light (λ up to 550 nm), which is the longest wavelength employed to date in catalyst-free photocycloadditions in solution. Importantly, the pH-dependence of the photo-reactivity was mapped by constant photon action plots. The action plots further indicate that the choice of solvent strongly impacts the system's photo-reactivity. Indeed, higher conversion and longer activation wavelengths were observed in water compared to acetonitrile under identical reaction conditions. The wider applicability of the system was demonstrated in the crosslinking of an 8-arm PEG to form hydrogels (ca. 1 cm in thickness) with a range of mechanical properties and pH responsiveness, highlighting the potential of the system in materials science.

Abstract
Several γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CDx) derivatives were used as chiral hosts for the photocyclodimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC). The effect of pH on photoreactivity and stereochemical outcome of photoproducts was investigated. Upon changing the solution pH, the stereochemical outcome of HH cyclodimer 3 was inverted from 25.2% to -64.4% and 41.2% to -76.2%, respectively, in the photocyclodimerization of AC mediated by bis-quinoline-modified γ-CDx 7 and its N-methylated derivative 8.

Effects of Temperature and Host Concentration on the Supramolecular Enantiodifferentiating [4 + 4] Photodimerization of 2-Anthracenecarboxylate through Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Catalyzed by Pt-Modified Cyclodextrins.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven photocatalytic supramolecular enantiodifferentiating dimerization of 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid (AC) through triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA), mediated by the Schiff base Pt(II) complex (Pt-1, Pt-2, and Pt-3) was studied. The host concentration and the temperature effects on the stereoselectivity were comprehensively investigated. Increasing the concentration of sensitizers/hosts significantly enhanced the conversion of the photoreaction but led to reduced enantioselectivities of the chiral photodimers 2 and 3 when the photoreaction was triggered by a 532 nm laser, which was in contrast with the results obtained by direct irradiation of AC with a 365 nm light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, due to the aggregation of the sensitizer/host in water. The cyclization of AC through triplet-triplet annihilation displayed significant temperature dependency when Pt-3 was employed as the sensitizer/host. Increasing the temperature from 0 °C to 30 °C with 5% equiv. of Pt-3 led to a great increase of the ee of 2 from 2.1% to 31.6%. However, hardly any temperature dependency was observed when the photodimerization was mediated by other sensitizers and/or hosts, or the photoreaction was triggered directly with a 365 nm LED lamp.

Abstract
Supramolecular photochirogenesis is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary area of science at the boundary of photochemistry, asymmetric synthesis and supramolecular chemistry. The major advantage of supramolecular photochirogenesis over the conventional molecular one is entropic in origin, being achieved by preorganizing substrate(s) in the ground state and manipulating subsequent photochemical transformation by weak but non-transient interactions in chiral supramolecular media. The chirality transfer often becomes more efficient through the cooperative non-covalent interactions and the confinement by host in both ground and excited states. Thus, all of the ground- and excited-state events, including complexation stoichiometry and affinity, chiroptical properties, photophysical behaviour and photochemical reactivity, jointly play pivotal roles in supramolecular photochirogenesis. This may appear to cause complication but in reality expands the range of manipulable factors and available experimental/theoretical tools for elucidating the mechanism and controlling photochirogenic processes both thermodynamically and kinetically, from which some new concepts/methodologies unique to supramolecular photochemistry, such as non-sensitizing catalytic photochirogenesis and wavelength-controlled photochirogenesis, have already been developed. In this review, we will discuss the recent progress and future perspective of supramolecular photochirogenesis.

Abstract
Bisureido- and a bisthioureido-substituted dibenzobarrelene derivative were synthesized and the photoreactivity of two representative examples were studied. Direct irradiation of the ureido-substituted derivative induces a di-π-methane rearrangement to the corresponding dibenzosemibullvalene derivative, whereas the thioureido-substituted derivative is almost photoinert. Complexes of the latter derivative with chloride, carboxylates, or sulfonate anions, however, are efficiently transformed to the dibenzosemibullvalene product upon irradiation, presumably by suppressing the self-quenching of the thiourea units in the complex. The association of the ureido-substituted dibenzobarrelene derivative with (S)-mandelate and irradiation of this complex led to the formation of the dibenzosemibullvalene with moderate stereoselectivity (68:32 er). In contrast, the thioureido derivative showed no such effect upon complexation of chiral anions.
