Multilevel information encryption and anticounterfeiting is extremely important to information security. Herein, we employed a hexagonal pyrene-based organoplatinum (II) metallacycle (MPy1) as a platform to construct an artificial light-harvesting system...
Combination of platinum(II) metallacycles and photodynamic inactivation presents a promising antibacterial strategy. Herein, a cascaded artificial light‐capturing system is developed in which an aggregation‐induced emission‐active platinum(II) metallacycle (PtTPEM) is utilized as the antenna, sulforhodamine 101 (SR101) as a key conveyor, and the near‐infrared emissive photosensitizer Chlorin‐e6 (Ce6) as the final energy acceptor. The well‐dispersed Ce6 in the proximity of energy donors not only avoids self‐quenching in the physiological environment but also contributes to energy transfer from donor to acceptor, thereby significantly improving the 1O2 generation ability of the light‐harvesting system under white light irradiation. By integrating the platinum(II) metallacycle and 1O2, a more efficient synergistic antibacterial effect is achieved at low concentrations, along with a significant decrease in dark toxicity caused by PtTPEM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
