Article Abstract
Six polypyridyl Ru(II) complexes were designed for single-molecule photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy (PDT/SDT) synergistic multimodal anticancer toward cisplatin-resistant NSCLC. They demonstrated lowest 3ES with distinct intraligand transition nature, which is beneficial for singlet oxygen generation. Remarkable quantum yields of both singlet oxygen and superoxide anion under either 808 nm laser irradiation or ultrasonic treatment and could induce apoptosis and ferroptosis of A549R cells. Cytotoxicity experiments clearly demonstrated a synergistic effect between PDT and SDT. The relationship between the structures of these complexes and their cellular biological mechanisms has been explored in detail. Using a single-molecule sensitizer to achieve synergistic PDT/SDT may provide valuable insights for the treatment of drug-resistant tumors that located deeply and in hypoxic microenvironment.

Light-harvesting complex IIs (LHCIIs) are the major antenna in higher plants, balancing light capture through photoprotection. While it naturally forms trimers, stress conditions can induce monomerization, altering pigment interactions. Here, we explored how molecular oxygen affects triplet excited-state dynamics in LHCII monomers using time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Antibacterial photodynamic therapy offers a promising approach for combating both susceptible and multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, conventional photosensitizers have limitations in terms of poor binding specificity and weak penetration for pathogens. In this study, we developed synergistic photobactericidal polymers that integrate hydrophilic toluidine blue O (TBO) with the lipophilic penetration enhancer citronellol (CT).

The efficient and sustainable remediation of contaminated water calls for catalytic systems that must clean broadly, endure widely, and last repeatedly. In this regard, we report the development of sulfonate-functionalized core-shell hydrogel beads embedded with synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that exhibit intrinsic oxidase-like activity without requiring external light or chemical oxidants. The sulfonate ligands modulate the surface electronic environment of the AuNPs, facilitating singlet oxygen generation via a nonplasmonic, radiationless mechanism.

Photo-Fenton oxidation, as a promising wastewater treatment technology, suffers from double barriers: the sluggish Fenton catalytic rate of transition metal ions and inefficient visible light absorption, both of which severely constrain the performance enhancement of catalytic systems. Therefore, accelerating electron transfer processes and broadening optical absorption spectra have become critical scientific challenges for practical implementation. Herein, a composite catalyst system based on Au-Ag-Cu trimetallic species codoped on hydroxyapatite (HAp) was reported via an ion/ligand impregnation method.

Singlet oxygen (O) plays a crucial role in cancer chemotherapy and ROS biology, driving the need for highly specific probes to monitor its dynamics in real time. Herein, we developed the ratiometric fluorescent probe NAP-t-PY, utilizing a 2-pyridone recognition unit. The probe's 1-methyl-3-benzyl-2-pyridone moiety reacts specifically with O [4 + 2] cycloaddition, forming the endoperoxide NAP-t-PY-EP.
