Photoswitchable fluorescent self-assemblies exhibiting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties have garnered widespread attention. Due to their great adaptiveness and responsiveness towards different wavelengths required by photoreaction, photo-isomerization, and photoluminescence excitation, these fluorescent self-assemblies show diverse emission behavior in a spatial, temporal, and polychromatic manner. Integrating organic photoswitches and AIE fluorophores, these photoluminescent nano-assemblies has been proven to be an effective approach, allowing the development of sophisticated systems for drug release and cell regulation that can be precisely manipulated through light or other stimuli. This review systematically encapsulates recent advances in photoswitchable fluorescent self-assemblies under multi-scenario biological applications. The construction of photoswitchable AIE fluorophores through covalent and non-covalent interactions and their multimodal regulation are detailed, along with their biological applications in biosensing, bioimaging, and drug therapy.

5,15-Porphyrinquinone is a non-aromatic and electron-deficient porphyrinoid that acts as an important framework for the synthesis of porphyrinoid derivatives. Generally, meso-functionalized A2-porphyrinquinone is synthesized via the oxidation of A2-porphyrin. Herein, we present the stereoselective synthesis of AB-porphyrinquinone Pt(II) complexes using the corresponding dipyrrinato-Pt complexes and bisformyldipyrrins. The reaction involves cyclization and oxidative aromatization induced by the Pt template, followed by oxidation using a mild MnO2 oxidant.

A Rh(III)‐catalyzed annulation reaction of 2‐(2‐nitrovinyl)phenols and disubstituted alkynes is developed to complete the first synthesis of biologically important 4‐nitro substituted benzo[b]oxepines. The same reaction conditions are also applied for the efficient synthesis of 4‐cyano substituted benzo[b]oxepines which have high biological significance. Some of the synthesized 4‐nitrobenzo[b]oxepines are easily transformed to triazole fused dibenzo[b]oxepines.

Catalysis plays a crucial role in modern chemistry, with macrocyclic compounds like calixarenes serving as key players in organic transformations through supramolecular chemistry. These macrocycles, synthesized from phenol and formaldehyde condensation, exhibit a variety of conformations, such as cone and partial-cone, due to their flexible structures. Their effectiveness as catalysts arises from their lipophilic cavities and the ease of functionalization on both the upper and lower rims. Water-soluble calixarenes, in particular, have gained attention for their ability to interact with hydrophobic cavities, facilitating molecular recognition in aqueous environments. A landmark achievement in this field was Shinkai's synthesis of water-soluble calix[4]arene in 1984, which involved sulphonation using tert-butyl groups, resulting in compounds known for their low toxicity and encapsulation capabilities. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in sulphonated calixarenes as catalysts, emphasizing their diverse applications and potential for future development. Key catalytic reactions and their substrate scopes are discussed, along with future perspectives on how these compounds can further revolutionize catalytic processes.

A convenient, direct, one‐pot highly efficient microwave‐assisted synthesis of biomass‐derived D‐glucose‐based hydroxide ionic liquid via a simple three‐step approach has been described. The key features of the method include rapidness, eco‐friendliness, and excellent yields. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first methodology for synthesizing D‐Glucose‐based sugar ionic liquid (GSIL) under microwave irradiation. The developed catalyst allowed us to synthesize diverse dihydropyrano[3,2‐c]‐chromenes upto 95% yield in 30‐90 min stirring at 80 ̊C under mild conditions. The scope of the study was investigated using 30 instances. Developed GSILs exhibited excellent catalytic activity as well as good recyclability. Overall, the catalyst showed excellent value in green chemistry parameters such as atom economy (95%), E‐factor (0.05), carbon efficiency (100%), process mass intensity (1.62), and reaction mass efficiency (0.860).

In article number e202400188, Cheng-Kun Lin and co-workers present a method to convert epoxy carbamates to oxazolidinones by combining intermolecular nucleophilic epoxide ring opening with intramolecular acyl substitution in a single step, enabling rapid conversion. It demonstrates favourable reactivity across various aryl groups, benzyl, or tert-butyl carbamates, consistently yielding satisfactory results, with oxazolidinone formation ranging from 55% to 99% across over 24 examples.
