Highly Emissive Multipurpose Organoplatinum(II) Metallacycles with Contrasting Mechanoresponsive Features

Ya Yin et al.

Summary: This study reported the synthesis of three supramolecular platinum(II) metallacycles through coordination-driven self-assembly, demonstrating properties of aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) and reversible mechanofluorochromism, which could be potentially applied in cell imaging and solid-state lighting.

Targeted photodynamic therapy using a water-soluble aggregation-Induced emission photosensitizer activated by an acidic tumor microenvironment

Xuehong Min et al.

Summary: This study presents an effective synthetic strategy for preparing water-soluble AIE photosensitizers with high targeted capacity mediated by supramolecular assembly. The reversible control of singlet oxygen generation and photodynamic targeting of cancer cells in an acidic environment is achieved.

Making Aggregation-Induced Emission Luminogen More Valuable by Gold: Enhancing Anticancer Efficacy by Suppressing Thioredoxin Reductase Activity

Hang Zou et al.

Summary: TBP-Au, a powerful aggregation-induced emission luminogen, combines an anticancer Au(I) moiety with an ME-active photosensitizer to enhance anticancer efficacy, enabling superior two-photon fluorescence imaging in tumor tissues and efficient facilitation of ROS-determined photodynamic therapy.

Ligand-Triggered Platinum(II) Metallacycle with Mechanochromic and Vapochromic Responses

Ya Yin et al.

Summary: This study successfully synthesized two coordination-driven metal-lacycles through subtle structure modifications, with the dianthracene-containing hexagon demonstrating mechanochromic and vapochromic characteristics while the monoanthracene-containing hexagon did not. Further investigation indicated that changes in the molecular stacking structure played a key role in the observed behavioral differences.
