Here, we introduce a topological confinement strategy that generates a previously inaccessible class of open‑shell species: neutral soliton‑type radicals, within amidine‑linked oligoacetylene networks. In chemical terms, these species are characterized by a delocalized spin density over the conjugated backbone, distinguishing them from conventional localized radicals. These materials exhibit a distinct axial <jats:italic>g</jats:italic> ‑tensor, Curie behavior, and broad near‑infrared absorption extending to 1000 nm. Unlike conventional photothermal systems, where heat originates from exciton transfer energy to the lattice via nonradiative processes, our system stores light energy in long‐lived soliton states that dissipate via lattice vibrations, producing no ground‑state bleach yet enabling efficient heat generation. Using this mechanism, the materials drive aldehyde‑indole coupling under mild light irradiation through a photothermal catalytic pathway. More broadly, this work translates soliton physics into a synthetic materials platform for spin‑functional materials.","PeriodicalId":125,"journal":{"name":"Angewandte Chemie International Edition","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

H‑aggregates promote triplet formation and charge transfer, but often suffer from substantial absorption blueshifts and excessive thermal deactivation that compromise photosensitization efficacy. Herein, a hierarchically molecular programming strategy is proposed to construct minimal‐blueshift H‐aggregates as robust NIR type I photosensitizers. Primary engineering via π‐bridge extension and acceptor strengthening within a twisted–planar donor–π–acceptor scaffold endows the antiparallel H‐packed TNCF3‐C6‐C2 aggregates with strong NIR absorption (749 nm) and predominant type I ROS generation. Secondary side‐chain programming further regulates the H‐packing and intermolecular electronic interactions to enhance type I ROS generation. Structural, photochemical and theoretical investigations revealed that the branched side chains promote molecular planarization and robust H‑packing, thereby enhancing intersystem crossing and intermolecular charge transfer. The optimized TNCF3‐2C6 with symmetric branched side chain exhibited minimal absorption blueshift (20 nm) upon H‐aggregation, enhanced NIR harvesting ability and a further ∼2‐fold enhancement in ROS generation over the initial TNCF3‐C6‐C2 H‐aggregates, thereby delivering potent tumor inhibition both in vitro and in vivo. Built upon the hierarchical programming of H‐aggregates, this work establishes a supramolecular design paradigm toward modulating excitonic coupling and excited‐state dynamics for high‐performance photo‐functional materials.","PeriodicalId":125,"journal":{"name":"Angewandte Chemie International Edition","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
