After host\u2013guest interaction, WPP5 integrated with PBN to form WPP5-PBN amphiphiles, which self-assembled to WPP5-PBN nanoparticles. Based on the aggregate state of PBN in WPP5-PBN nanoparticles, WPP5-PBN nanoparticles emitted a significant yellow fluorescence as energy donors. Due to the yellow fluorescence fully covering the absorption of sulforhodamine 101 (SR101), SR101 was used as energy acceptors and loaded in WPP5-PBN nanoparticles for constructing the WPP5-PBN-SR101 LHS, whose energy transfer efficiency and antenna effect were 66.32% and 22.34. Notably, after the energy of the WPP5-PBN antenna transferred to SR101, more singlet oxygen (1O2) production was observed in the WPP5-PBN-SR101 LHS, which was successfully used as a photocatalyst to catalyze the oxidation reaction of 4-methoxythioanisole to 1-methoxy-4-(methylsulfinyl)benzene, imitating the solar energy conversion to chemical energy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules30224424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,18]],"date-time":"2025-11-18T12:33:04Z","timestamp":1763469184000},"page":"4424","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Phenyl-Bis-Naphthyl Derivative-Based Artificial Light-Harvesting System for Singlet Oxygen Oxidation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Liangtao","family":"Pu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Urban Construction, Changzhou University, Changzhou 213164, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yonglei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Urban Construction, Changzhou University, Changzhou 213164, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guangping","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"eaay2058","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aay2058","article-title":"Light harvesting in oxygenic photosynthesis: Structural biology meets spectroscopy","volume":"369","author":"Croce","year":"2020","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1038\/nature18020","article-title":"Structure of spinach photosystem II\u2013LHCII supercomplex at 3.2\u2009\u00c5 resolution","volume":"534","author":"Wei","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2504993","DOI":"10.1002\/advs.202504993","article-title":"Bionic artificial leaves based on AIE-active supramolecular hydrogel for efficient photocatalysis","volume":"12","author":"Zhang","year":"2025","journal-title":"Adv.
