Summary: A novel one-dimensional supramolecular polymer was successfully constructed from 4-(4-(1-benzyl-pyridinium)styryl)-1-methyl-pyridinium chloride guest molecule and a host CB[8], characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. Interestingly, the supramolecular polymers can transform into synergistic covalent and supramolecular polymers when irradiated with visible light, due to irreversible polymerization induced by [2+2] photodimerization controlled by cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]).

Summary: Chiral supramolecular polymers were successfully constructed through the host-guest complexation of an octaphosphonate biscavitand and a chiral diammonium guest. The complexation was found to be enthalpy-and entropy-favored with high binding constants. Various experimental techniques confirmed the occurrence of supramolecular polymerization, most likely through a ring-chain mechanism. Atomic force microscopy visualized the cyclic oligomers and supramolecular polymer chains. Circular dichroism was observed, indicating the formation of chirally twisted supramolecular polymers.

Summary: This study successfully prepared a TiO2/graphene (TiO2/G) composite photocatalytic material via the hydrothermal method. The TiO2/G nanocomposites showed a large specific surface area, small pore size, and low electron-hole pair complexation rate, resulting in efficient degradation of pollutants. By anchoring TiO2 on graphene oxide (GO), the photoresponse range of TiO2/G was broadened and its photocatalytic efficiency was significantly improved. This work is important for the development of photocatalytic systems for the treatment of mineral processing wastewater.

Summary: A supramolecular organic framework (SOF) was constructed by encapsulation-enhanced donor-acceptor interaction using tetraphenylethylene derivative MV-TPE, tetraphenylethylene derivative NA-TPE, and cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). Efficient energy transfer processes were observed from SOF to hydrophobic dye 4,7-bis(thien-2-yl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (DBT) and then to amphoteric sulforhodamine 101 (SR101). In addition, white emission with CIE coordinate (0.31, 0.32) was achieved by direct addition of SR101 to SOF. Furthermore, SOF-based light-harvesting systems (LHSs) showed promising potential as catalysts for the promotion of the aerobic cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction in water, with a yield of 87% under 0.45 mol% catalyst.

Summary: In this study, a cationic cyano-substituted p-phenylenevinylene derivative (PPTA) was synthesized and used to form supramolecular assemblies with anionic guar gum (GP5A) through electrostatic interaction. A polyelectrolyte-based artificial light harvesting system (LHS) was constructed using a fluorescent dye (SR101) as an energy acceptor. The energy harvested by the acceptor was utilized in a cross dehydrogenation coupling (CDC) reaction in the aqueous phase, achieving a yield of up to 87%. The general applicability of polyelectrolyte materials in constructing artificial LHSs was demonstrated using three other polyelectrolyte materials (RSS, CMC, and PAAS), which also achieved high yields in the CDC reaction. This work not only presents a new method for constructing LHSs using polyelectrolyte materials, but also explores the potential application of harvested energy in LHSs for aqueous photocatalysis.
