Highly efficient light-harvesting systems were successfully fabricated in aqueous solution based on the supramolecular self-assembly of a water-soluble pillar[6]arene (WP6), a salicylaldehyde azine derivative (G), and two different fluorescence dyes, Nile Red (NiR) or EosinY (ESY). The WP6-G supramolecular assembly exhibits remarkably improved aggregation-induced emission enhancement and acts as a donor for the artificial light-harvesting system, and NiR or ESY, which are loaded within the WP6-G assembly, act as acceptors. An efficient energy-transfer process takes place from the WP6-G assembly not only to NiR but also to ESY for these two different systems. Furthermore, both of the WP6-G-NiR and WP6-G-ESY systems show an ultrahigh antenna effect at a high donor/acceptor ratio.
