A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based artificial light-harvesting system (LHS) is successfully assembled via the host-guest interaction of bis-naphthylacrylonitrile derivative (BND), water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5), and sulforhodamine 101 (SR101). After host-guest assembly, the formed WP5⊃BND complexes spontaneously self-aggregated into WP5⊃BND nanoparticles (donors) and SR101 (acceptors) is introduced into WP5⊃BND to fabricate WP5⊃BND-SR101 LHS. Through the investigation of energy transfer between donors and acceptors, the artificial light-harvesting processes are certified in WP5⊃BND-SR101 LHS and the absolute fluorescence quantum yields (Φ) are significantly improved from 8.9% (for WP5⊃BND) to 31.1% (for WP5⊃BND-SR101), exhibiting the excellent light-harvesting capabilities. Notably, by tuning the donor/acceptor (D:A) molar ratio to 250:1, a conspicuous white light emission (CIE coordinate is (0.32, 0.32)) is realized and the fluorescence quantum yield of white light emission (Φ ) is 29.2%. Moreover, the antenna effect of white fluorescence emission (AE ) can reach 36.2, which is higher than that of recent artificial LHSs in water environments, suggesting vast potential applications in aqueous LHSs.

Achieving superior circularly polarized luminescence brightness () is an important subject and continuous challenge for chiroptical materials. Herein, by applying a binary molecular design for the synthesis of chiral organo-Tb molecules, a novel pair of mononuclear chiral -pyrazolate-Tb enantiomers, [Tb(PMIP)(,-Ph-PyBox)] () and [Tb(PMIP)(,-Ph-PyBox)] (), have been synthesized and characterized. The three 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(isobutyryl)-5-pyrazolone () ligands play the role of efficient luminescence sensitizers and strong light-harvesting antennas, while the enantiopure 2,6-bis(4-phenyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl) pyridine ligand (/) is employed as the strong point-chiral inducer.

Boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based zirconium metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) possess strong light-harvesting capabilities and great potential for artificial photosynthesis without the use of sacrificial reagents. However, their direct preparation has not yet been achieved due to challenges in synthesizing suitable ligands. Herein, we reported the first successful direct synthesis of BODIPY-based Zr-MOFs, utilizing CO₂ as a feedstock.

Amphiphilic dimeric cyanostilbenes with two donor-acceptor moieties connected through variable aliphatic linkers displayed aggregation in aqueous media to produce red emissive nano-assemblies. In the presence of anionic biopolymers such as ctDNA and heparin, they formed electrostatically driven co-assemblies with enhanced luminescence. Moreover, due to the chiral nature of the bio-templates DNA and heparin, the co-assemblies demonstrated induced chirality features.

The development of efficient artificial photosynthesis systems is crucial for sustainable chemical production, as they mimic natural processes to convert solar energy into chemical products, thereby addressing both energy and environmental challenges. The main bottlenecks in current research include fabricating highly selective, stable, and scalable catalysts, as well as effectively harnessing the full spectrum of light, particularly the low-energy, long-wavelength portion. Herein, we report a novel composite photocatalyst system based on lead halide perovskites embedded in functionalized MOF glass.
