The coupling between energy-consuming molecular processes and the macroscopic dimension plays an important role in nature and in the development of active matter. Here, we study the temporal evolution of a macroscopic system upon the local activation of a dissipative self-assembly process. Injection of surfactant molecules in a substrate-containing hydrogel results in the local substrate-templated

Circularly Polarized Room Temperature Phosphorescence through Twisting-induced Helical Structures from Polyvinyl Alcohol-based Fibers Containing Hydrogen-bonded Dyes Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (IF 16.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-08 Qin Liu, Xiaoqing Liu, Xiaoxiao Yu, Xinhai Zhang, Meifang Zhu, Yanhua Cheng
Room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have garnered significant attention owing to its distinctive optical characteristics and broad range of potential applications. However, the challenge remains in producing RTP materials with more simplicity, versatility, and practicality on a large scale, particularly in achieving chiral signals within a single system. Herein, we show that a straightforward

Enzyme-Activatable Near-Infrared Hemicyanines as Modular Scaffolds for in vivo Photodynamic Therapy Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (IF 16.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-08 Zhiming Cheng, Sam Benson, Lorena Mendive-Tapia, Eleni Nestoros, Charles Lochenie, Deborah Seah, Kai Yee Chang, Yi Feng, Marc Vendrell
Photodynamic therapy is an anti-cancer treatment that requires illumination of photosensitizers to induce local cell death. Current near-infrared organic photosensitizers are built from large and non-modular structures that cannot be tuned to improve safety and minimize off-target toxicity. This work describes a novel chemical platform to generate enzyme-activatable near-infrared photosensitizers.

A Bioorthogonal Dual Fluorogenic Probe for the Live-Cell Monitoring of Nutrient Uptake by Mammalian Cells Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (IF 16.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-08 Yixuan Wang, Diana Torres-Garcia, Thijmen P. Mostert, Luuk Reinalda, Sander Izaak van Kasteren
Cells rely heavily on the uptake of exogenous nutrients for survival, growth, and differentiation. Yet quantifying the uptake of small molecule nutrients at the single cell level is difficult. Here we present a new approach to studying the nutrient uptake in live single cells using Inverse Electron-Demand Diels Alder (IEDDA) chemistry. We have modified carboxyfluorescein-diacetate-succinimidyl esters

Fluorescent imaging and biosensing in the near-infrared-II (NIR-II) window holds great promise for non-invasive, radiation-free, and rapid-response clinical diagnosis. However, it’s still challenging to develop bright NIR-II fluorophores. In this study, we report a new strategy to enhance the brightness of NIR-II aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophores through intramolecular electrostatic locking

Oxidative Addition of E-H (E = C, N) Bonds to Transient Uranium(II) Centers Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (IF 16.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-07 Wei Fang, Yafei Li, Tianze Zhang, Thayalan Rajeshkumar, Iker del Rosal, Yue Zhao, Tianwei Wang, Shuao Wang, Laurent Maron, Congqing Zhu
Two-electron oxidative addition is one of the most important elementary reactions for d-block transition metals but it is uncommon for f-block elements. Here, we report the first examples of intermolecular oxidative addition of E-H (E = C, N) bonds to uranium(II) centers. The transient U(II) species was formed in-situ by reducing a heterometallic cluster featuring U(IV)-Pd(0) bonds with potassium-graphite

In this work, we investigate trion dynamics occurring at the heterojunction between organometallic molecules and a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) with transient electronic sum frequency generation (tr-ESFG) spectroscopy. By pumping at 2.4 eV with laser pulses, we have observed an ultrafast hole transfer, succeeded by the emergence of charge-transfer trions. This observation is facilitated

Cascaded *CO-*COH Intermediates on a Nonmetallic Plasmonic Photocatalyst for CO2-to-C2H6 with 90.6% Selectivity Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (IF 16.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-07 Liteng Ren, Xiaonan Yang, Xin Sun, Yuling Wang, Huiquan Li, Yupeng Yuan
Oxygen vacancies (OV) in nonmetallic plasmonic photocatalysts can decrease the energy barrier for CO2 reduction, boosting C1 intermediate production for potential C2 formation. However, their susceptibility to oxidation weakens C1 intermediate adsorption. Herein we proposed a "photoelectron injection" strategy to safeguard OV in W18O49 by creating a W18O49/ZIS (W/Z) plasmonic photocatalyst. Moreover
