The design and construction of an artificial light-harvesting system in water by mimicking the energy transfer cascade in natural photosynthesis are of significant importance. Herein, we report an efficient two-step sequential energy transfer system based on quadruple hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymeric nanoparticles. By loading two types of hydrophobic dyes as energy acceptors, excitation energy from the supramolecular polymer could be funneled efficiently to the final acceptor through the relay acceptor. The system exhibits tunable multicolor emission from blue through yellow to red, as well as white light emission.
