A photoswitchable arylazopyrazole (AAP) derivative binds with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and methylviologen (MV2+) to form a 1:1:1 heteroternary host–guest complex with a binding constant of Ka=2×103 m?1. The excellent photoswitching properties of AAP are preserved in the inclusion complex. Irradiation with light of a wavelength of 365 and 520 nm leads to quantitative E- to Z- isomerization and vice versa, respectively. Formation of the Z-isomer leads to dissociation of the complex as evidenced using 1H NMR spectroscopy. AAP derivatives are then used to immobilize bioactive molecules and photorelease them on demand. When Arg-Gly-Asp-AAP (AAP–RGD) peptides are attached to surface bound CB[8]/MV2+ complexes, cells adhere and can be released upon irradiation. The heteroternary host–guest system offers highly reversible binding properties due to efficient photoswitching and these properties are attractive for designing smart surfaces.

The invention discloses a supramolecular compound nano-carrier as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of polymer chemistry and biological detection engineering. According to the supramolecular compound nano-carrier disclosed by the invention, a two-dimensional nanosheet supramolecular structure system generated by self-assembly is driven by an anion induction effect, and a supramolecular compound nano-carrier is of a single-layer nanosheet supramolecular structure constructed by a highly-oriented one-dimensional nanorod. A hydrophobic perylene group part is used as a skeleton part for constructing the highly-oriented one-dimensional nanorod, and the charge density of a single-layer nanosheet can be regulated and controlled. The surface of the water-soluble multivalent hydrophilic part can be loaded with DNAzyme deoxyribozyme for specific detection of heavy metal ions through electrostatic interaction, and the water-soluble multivalent supramolecular compound nano sensor is constructed. Based on a fluorescence change mechanism caused by specific cutting of heavy metal ions, The fluorescence detection of the heavy metal ions in food and biological tissues is realized, and the detection effect of the heavy metal ions is greatly enhanced.

Bioorthogonal chemistry is bridging the divide between static chemical connectivity and the dynamic physiologic regulation of molecular state, enabling in situ transformations that drive multiple technologies. In spite of maturing mechanistic understanding and new bioorthogonal bond-cleavage reactions, the broader goal of molecular ON/OFF control has been limited by the inability of existing systems to achieve both fast (i.e., seconds to minutes, not hours) and complete (i.e., >99%) cleavage. To attain the stringent performance characteristics needed for high fidelity molecular inactivation, we have designed and synthesized a new C2-symmetric trans-cyclooctene linker (C2TCO) that exhibits excellent biological stability and can be rapidly and completely cleaved with functionalized alkyl-, aryl-, and H-tetrazines, irrespective of click orientation. By incorporation of C2TCO into fluorescent molecular probes, we demonstrate highly efficient extracellular and intracellular bioorthogonal disassembly via omnidirectional tetrazine-triggered cleavage.
