Abstract
A novel artificial light-harvesting system, featuring sequential energy transfer processes, has been successfully constructed, which demonstrated white light emission through a precise adjustment of the donor-acceptor ratio. To better mimic natural photosynthesis, the system is employed as a nanoreactor for the photocatalysis of a cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction in aqueous solution.
