When designing photoresponsive materials, the impact of a polymer host matrix on the photophysical and photochemical properties of chromophores can be dramatic and advantageous for correlating macromolecular properties. Some compounds possess changes in their photophysical response with variation in the surrounding media (e.g., crystalline glass vs solution). This study demonstrates how changes in the excited state dynamics of [Cu(dmp)], where dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, are used to quantitatively probe the viscosity of the surrounding polymer matrix. A correlation of both excited state lifetime and photoluminescence emission wavelength on viscosity was observed in different supramolecular materials containing [Cu(dmp)]. These effects were attributed to restricted photoinduced structural distortion of the Cu(I) complex as the polymer matrix hardened. This photoluminescence sensor features a greater dynamic range for viscosity sensing (6 orders of magnitude) and displayed larger changes in lifetime response with respect to typical organometallic mechanosensitive probes.

Identification of disulfide-peptide-bond-containing glutathione (GSSG) over the monosulfide form (GSH) remains a very challenging task because of their identical chemical properties. Although GSH detection has been well documented, selective detection of GSSG has rarely been reported. Here, four cationic Ag-based coordination polymers (Ag CPs) were synthesized using newly synthesized monotriazole linker 3-amino-5-(4-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)pyridine to selectively screen GSSG over GSH.

New strategies for enhancing the fluorescence emission of metal nanoclusters (MNCs) are very crucial for the highly sensitive sensing of food hazards. In this work, we prepared MNC supraparticles (Sc-CB/AuNCs) by simultaneously introducing cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and Sc ions into ATT-AuNCs for the first time. The obtained supraparticles exhibited strong emission enhancement due to synergistic aggregation-induced emission enhancement and restriction of intramolecular motion effects.

Cancer immunotherapy remains a low immune response rate in clinic because of dominant immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and lack of effective drug to specifically remodel the TME. In this work, we introduced a tumor-seeking human serum albumin (HSA) based delivery platform by covalently conjugating with a tumor-targeting near-infrared (NIR) photosensitizer (IR-DBI) and non-covalently loading of immune modulator Resiquimod (R848). HSA exhibited tumor-preferential accumulation after covalent conjugation with IR-DBI.

Cyclopropane fragments, which widely exist in marketed drugs and natural products, can confer special pharmacological properties to small-molecule drugs. Therefore, developing methods to construct cyclopropanes is of great significance. Nevertheless, the introduction of cyclopropane primarily relies on already-formed cyclopropyl groups, which significantly restricts the diversity of cyclopropane skeletons.

The asymmetric dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes a radical relay process can provide routes to diverse hydrocarbon derivatives. Three-component carboalkynylation, limited to particular alkyl halides and using readily available cycloketone oxime esters as redox-active precursors, is restricted by the available pool of suitable chiral ligands for broadening the redox potential window of copper complexes and simultaneously creating the enantiocontrol environment. Herein, we report a new hybrid tridentate ligand bearing a guanidine-amide-pyridine unit for photoinduced copper-catalyzed cyanoalkylalkynylation of alkenes.
