Mengdi Tian et al.

Summary: This study reports on multilevel supramolecular assemblies based on sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBE-beta CD) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), which can control the topological morphology and modulate multicolor luminescence. The formation of supramolecular assemblies is achieved through host-guest interactions and electrostatic interactions, resulting in enhanced fluorescence and bathochromic shift.

Dual-state emission: the compatible art of substantial rigidity and twisting conformation within a single molecule

G. Xia et al.

Summary: Dual-state emission refers to the phenomenon where organic molecules exhibit bright emission in both dilute solution and solid states. This concept has contributed to the understanding of photophysical areas and practical applications of mono-state emission. This review focuses on the structural features and working principles of dual-state emissive luminogens (DSEgens), highlighting the importance of intramolecular p-conjugated rigidity and twisted conformation in their efficient construction. The correlation between molecular configurations and emission properties of DSEgens is analyzed, with a focus on emission efficiency and wavelength variability. Preliminary applications and future perspectives of DSEgens are also discussed.

A Calix[3]acridan-Based Host-Guest Cocrystal Exhibiting Efficient Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence

He-Ye Zhou et al.

Summary: This study proposes a supramolecular strategy to construct thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials through host-guest charge transfer interactions. A new macrocycle named calix[3]acridan is synthesized with a yield of 90%. The host-guest cocrystal formed by calix[3]acridan and 1,2-dicyanobenzene exhibits efficient TADF properties due to strong intermolecular charge transfer interactions. The spatial separation of the highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital results in a small singlet-triplet energy gap, enabling efficient reverse intersystem crossing for TADF. Additionally, the material achieves a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 70%, the highest reported among intermolecular donor-acceptor TADF materials.
