Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are powerful toolkits to directly correlate structure-function relationships due to their well-defined structures. In this work, 5,15-di(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (DTPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetra(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (TTPP) are reacted with zirconium ions to afford two MOFs (Zr-DTPP and Zr-TTPP) with acid and base tolerance in the pH range of 1.0-14.0. Powder X-ray diffraction investigation combined with Rietveld refinement reveals the J-aggregated porphyrin building blocks confined by benzene-1,2,3-trisolate-zirconium chains in the newly prepared Zr-DTPP. Electron spin-resonance, singlet-oxygen determination, and sulfides oxidation experiments demonstrate a much better singlet-oxygen evolution of J-aggregated Zr-DTPP than that of unaggregated Zr-TTPP reported previously, in good contrast to the weaker photocatalytic capability disclosed for DTPP than that for TTPP in solution, consummating the theory of photosensitizer J-aggregation in boosting heterogeneous photoinduced singlet-oxygen generation.

Cancer recurrence and metastasis are two major challenges in the current clinical therapy. In this work, a novel diketopyrrolopyrrole-based photothermal reagent (DCN) with unique J-aggregation-induced redshift is synthesized to achieve efficient tumor thermal ablation under safe power (0.33 W cm ).

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as traditional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores have been widely applied in the analysis field. However, their ECL intensity and efficiency are still limited due to the aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) effect of PAHs. Hence, to overcome this limitation, we put forward a new strategy to increase the ECL intensity and efficiency by eliminating the ACQ effect of PAHs through the coordinative immobilization of PAHs within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been demonstrated to be effective for cancer treatment. Design of photosensitizers (PS) featuring tumor targeting, long excitation wavelengths, and high singlet oxygen quantum yields (Φ(O)) is the crucial point of highly efficient PDT. However, it is especially difficult to integrate above features into one photosensitizer.

Metal-free D-π-RS-π-A type sensitizers, consisting of triphenylamine as the electron donor, 2,3-bis(3-(2-ethylhexyl)-5-methylthiophen-2-yl)dithieno[3,2-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline (DTQT) as the rigidified conjugation spacer (RS), thiophene as the π-spacer, and 2-cyanoacrylic acid as the acceptor/anchor, have broad absorption spectra ranging from 350 to 550 nm and a high molar extinction coefficient up to >46 200 M(-1) cm(-1). Under simulated AM 1.5 G illumination, the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) fabricated from the dyes exhibited light-to-electricity conversions in the range of 6.
