A dibenzo-24-crown-8 derivative bearing two cholesterol groups is either insoluble in or precipitates from most organic solvents, but its pseudo-rotaxane complex with a diammonium guest acts as a good gelator of aromatic solvents.

Pathogenic intracellular bacteria pose a significant threat to global public health due to the barriers presented by host cells hindering the timely detection of hidden bacteria and the effective delivery of therapeutic agents. To address these challenges, we propose a tandem diagnosis-guided treatment paradigm. A supramolecular sensor array is developed for simple, rapid, accurate, and high-throughput identification of intracellular bacteria.

This study reports a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensor based on a tetraphenylethylene-bipyridine covalent organic framework (TPE-Bpy-COF) for the sensitive detection of Cu, leveraging the unique coordination properties of the bipyridine moieties. The interaction between Cu and the nitrogen atoms in the bipyridine units induces fluorescence quenching at 500 nm through an efficient host-guest electron transfer mechanism, where excited-state electrons from the COF framework are transferred to the vacant orbitals of Cu. Upon excitation at 410 nm, the sensor exhibits a primary emission peak at 500 nm, which is quenched in the presence of Cu, while an overtone peak at 820 nm remains stable, serving as an internal reference for ratiometric measurements and significantly enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the sensor.

Supramolecular fluorescent materials with switchable behavior and induced luminescence enhancement are a new class of special materials for constructing fluorescence anti-counterfeiting materials. Since these materials are constructed by self-assembly through supramolecular host-guest interactions of non-covalent bonds, such fluorescent materials can regulate their optical properties through a reversible assembly-disassembly process. Inspired by the role of the β-barrel scaffold in activating strong fluorescence of a green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore, we designed a supramolecular system based on a novel GFP analogue (CA) and cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]).

Fluorescent macrocyclic arenes have attracted increasing interest in macrocyclic and supramolecular chemistry due to their exceptional photophysical properties and versatile applications. Classical macrocyclic arenes modified with fluorescent groups at the upper or bottom rims have long provided valuable platforms across various fields. Recently, a large number of novel fluorescent macrocyclic arenes directly composed of polycyclic aromatic or heteroaromatic building blocks including naphthalene, anthracene, tetraphenylethene, pyrene, fluorene, carbazole, acridan, phenothiazine, coumarin, triphenylamine, benzothiadiazole and so on, have been reported, and they have shown specific fluorescent property, and also exhibited broad applications in molecular recognition, sensing, bioimaging and functional materials.
