Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) has attracted a great deal of interest with respect to diverse optoelectronic devices. However, the photophysical properties of the OIHP require further understanding because most of the investigations have been conducted with polycrystalline perovskites, which contain high-density structural defects. Here, diverse photophysical properties, including structural characterization, spectroscopic features, and photoexcited products, are studied in submicrometer CHNHPbBr ultrathin single-crystal (UTSC) films. Unlike polycrystalline films and large single crystals, the UTSC film provides a unique platform for studying spectroscopic characteristics of single-crystal perovskites. Compared with the polycrystalline film, the UTSC film presents an atomically flat morphology and near-perfect lattice with a lower defect density, leading to an isotropic system that can be applied in the construction of high-performance optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, a long lifetime emissive channel assigned to the trion is indicated, which is scarcely found in perovskite polycrystalline films. Our results profoundly improve our understanding of their photophysical properties and expand the horizons for perovskite materials in photonic applications.

We have employed a triazine-based conjugated polymer network (CPN) for the selective detection of hypochlorite in a semi-aqueous environment. CPNs have been widely employed in gas capture, separation, and adsorption, but the fluorescent properties of CPNs possessing extensive π-conjugated systems tend to be unexplored. Herein, we report the photophysical properties of the CPN and investigate its sensing capability towards hypochlorite.

Pendant organic chromophores have been used to improve the photocatalytic performance of many metal-based photosensitizers, particularly in first-row metals, by increasing π conjugation in ligands and lowering the energy of the photoactive absorption band. Using a combination of spectroscopic studies and computational modeling, we rationalize the excited state dynamics of a Co(III) complex containing pendant pyrene moieties, , where = 1,1'-(4-(pyren-1-yl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(3-methyl-1-imidazol-3-ium). displays higher visible absorptivity, and blue luminescence from pyrene singlet excited states compared with [ = 1,1'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(3-methyl-1-imidazol-3-ium)] in which the pyrene moiety is absent.

The development of small molecule-based drugs emerged as a cornerstone of modern drug discovery. Structural activity relationship (SAR) studies in medicinal chemistry are crucial for lead optimization, where a subtle change in the substituent can significantly alter its binding affinity with the biological target. Herein, a highly efficient single-atom substitution (SAS) approach has been developed, where sulfur for oxygen strategy is utilized as a powerful molecular editing technique to identify N-vinyl Indole-thiobarbituric acid (6a) as a novel small molecule-based scaffold with tunable photophysical and antiproliferative activities.

Designing the architecture of donor-acceptor (D-A) pairs is an effective strategy to tailor the electronic structure of conjugated macrocycles for optoelectronic devices. Herein, we present the synthesis of three D-A nanohoops ( = 7, 8, 9) containing a naphthalene diimide (NDI) unit as an acceptor and []cycloparaphenylenes ([]CPPs) moieties as donors. The D-A characteristics of were substantiated through absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies, electrochemical investigations, and computational analysis.
