The exploration of photocatalysts (PCs) for efficient singlet oxygen (O)-based photocatalytic oxidation is critical and challenging. Herein, a new series of donor-acceptor metal-organic frameworks (D-A MOFs) are constructed through the engineering of the D-A system, and investigated as PCs for the O oxidation reaction. By regulating the intersystem crossing and reversed intersystem crossing features of the D-A system, D-A MOFs could reveal highly tunable triplet-exciton generation. Via the synergy of the enhanced electron transfer properties and the effective energy transfer to ground-state O, the optimized D-A MOF () could reveal remarkable activity toward O generation under appropriate irradiation, which is fully proven by the highly efficient oxidation and detoxification of mustard simulant 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide into 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (conversion and selectivity >99% within 15 min). Moreover, the application of for the photocatalytic oxidation of dihydroartemisinic acid to artemisinin results in the highest selectivity and yield (selectivity 88% and conversion >99% at 25°C) among all reported homo- or heterogeneous PCs.

Quantum chemical methods and time-resolved laser spectroscopy are employed to elucidate ultrafast charge-separation processes in triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives upon photoexcitation. When changing the ambient solvent from non-electron-accepting to electron-acceptor solvents, such as chloroform, a vastly extended and multifaceted photochemistry of TPA derivatives is observed. Following initial excitation, two concurrent charge-transfer processes are identified.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are emerging as potent tools for the selective regulation of active species, offering substantial promise for green and sustainable Fenton catalysis. However, current SACs face limitations due to the specificity of their supports, which only allow selective regulation within certain oxidant systems. This constraint makes targeted regulation across different systems challenging.

The tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl radical (TTM) has inspired the synthesis of several luminescent diradicaloids, providing an extraordinary opportunity to control the nature of the low-lying excited states by fine-tuning the diradical character. However, the photophysical properties of TTM-derived diradicals remain not fully understood yet. Here we present a combined theoretical and experimental investigation to elucidate the origin of their luminescence.

In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and gas therapy (GT) have emerged as research hotspots due to their excellent cancer treatment efficacy. By combining the advantages of both, the simultaneous and controllable release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) has become a possibility. This paper describes the design of two Ru(II) complexes, [Ru(bpy)(NFIP)](PF) (Ru1, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, NFIP = 4-nitro-3-trifluoromethylaniline-1-imidazo[4,5-][1,10]phenanthroline) and [Ru(phen)(NFIP)](PF) (Ru2, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), through the integration of the polypyridyl ruthenium structure and a photoresponsive NO donor.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) materials have emerged as a revolutionary class of functional compounds, driven by their unique ability to utilize excitons from both singlet and triplet states for efficient fluorescence emission. This manuscript provides an overview of recent innovations in TADF material design, focusing on molecular strategies to achieve optimal TADF properties, including small singlet-triplet energy gaps (Δ ) and high photoluminescence quantum yields. We explore the diverse applications of TADF materials, spanning OLEDs, biomedical imaging, photosensitizers, photocatalysis, UV photodetectors (UVOPDs), electrogenerated chemiluminescence, triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) sensitizers, organic hybrid microwire radial heterojunctions, multicolor luminescent micelles, mechano-luminescence (ML), light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEECs), and fluorescent probes.
