Purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and fluorescence dual-emission materials in aqueous solution have attracted growing attention. Herein, we report a fluorescence-phosphorescence dual emission host-guest complex by simple assembly of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and 4-(4-bromophenyl)pyridinium derivative in water. Macrocyclic confinement and unique 1:2 host-guest structure could effectively inhibit non-radiative transition of the guest and the quenching of water molecule, thus induce effective RTP emission in water (τ_RTP = 0.472 ms, Φ_RTP = 1.37%). Specifically, based on competitive binding, this host-guest complex exhibits rapid ratiometric luminescent detection behavior to 3-nitrotyrosine, a specific biomarker of kidney injury, with a low limit of detection of 10.7 nmol/L. This work highlights the great potential of macrocyclic-confinement-derived RTP materials in biomarker detection, and will undoubtedly broaden the utilization scope of RTP.
