Article Abstract
A two-step sequential phosphorescence harvesting system with ultralarge Stokes shift and near-infrared (NIR) emission at 825 nm is successfully constructed by racemic 1,2-diaminocyclohexan-derived 6-bromoisoquinoline (BQ), cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), and amphipathic sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4AD) via cascaded assembly strategy in aqueous solution. In virtue of the confinement effect of CB[8] with rigid cavity, BQ can generate an emerging phosphorescent emission at 555 nm. Subsequently, the binary BQ⊂CB[8] further assemblies with SC4AD to form close-packed spherical aggregate, which contributes to the dramatic enhancement of phosphorescence emission intensity ≈30 times with prolonged lifetime from 21.3 µs to 0.364 ms. Notably, the BQ⊂CB[8]@SC4AD assembly can serve as an energy donor to conduct stepwise phosphorescence harvesting process through successive introduction of primary acceptors, cyanine 5 (Cy5) or nile blue (NiB), and secondary acceptor, heptamethine cyanine (IR780). The final aggregate with remarkable ultralarge Stokes shift (≈525 nm) and long-lived NIR photoluminescence (PL) emission at 825 nm is further employed as imaging agent for NIR cell labeling.

Dynamic monitoring of hypochlorous acid (HClO) in mitochondria is crucial for elucidating the molecular pathogenesis of ferroptosis-related diseases. Super-resolution microscopy, which surpasses the optical diffraction limit, has emerged as a powerful tool for subcellular dynamic imaging. However, the lack of mitochondrial HClO fluorescent probes with high specificity, stable labeling, low environmental interference, and negligible spectral crosstalk presents a significant challenge for achieving dynamic super-resolution imaging.

Nano-supramolecules based on artificial macrocycles can not only regulate assembly morphology but also boost phosphorescence resonance energy transfer (PRET). Herein, a water-soluble phosphorescence supramolecule was constructed from the hyaluronic acid-modified bromophenylpyridinium (HAPY), cucurbit[]uril (CB[], = 7/8), and energy acceptor phenyl-bridged phenothiazine derivatives, displaying efficient PRET and achieving near-infrared (NIR) phosphorescence by macrocyclic CB[] and the assembly confinements. As compared with weak phosphorescent nanofibers of HAPY/CB[7], the spherical nanoparticles of HAPY/CB[8] not only gave strong green phosphorescence with extended lifetime to 1.

Aqueous room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have garnered considerable attention for their significant potential across various applications such as bioimaging, sensing, and encryption. However, establishing a universally applicable method for achieving aqueous RTP remains a substantial challenge. Herein, we present a versatile supramolecular strategy to transition RTP from solid states to aqueous phases.

As an important gaseous pollutant, SO derivatives generally exist and significantly threaten the environment and organism health. Meanwhile, polarity is a disease-related indicator in the organism's microenvironment, where an unregulated variation may disturb the physiological metabolisms. Hence, a superior FRET-based fluorescent sensor (TLA) is presented to track polarity and sulfur dioxide derivatives by dual emission channel, an elevated red emission at 633 nm with decreasing polarity as well as a reduced red emission at 633 nm and improved blue emission at 449 nm with increasing concentration of SO derivatives.

The excited-state tautomer equilibrium of the urea-fused single-benzene fluorophore was synthetically modulated to produce exceptionally large Stokes shifts (>12 400 cm). The key N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding motif utilizes an endogenous proton for long-wavelength emission or an exogenous proton for acid-base chemistry, the balance of which is exploited for fluorescence switching in the solid state.
