Herein, we report the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of novel Near Infra-Red
(NIR) pentamethine cyanine dyes, as potential photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy …

Polyacrylonitrile fiber immobilized with iminodiacetic acid (IDA) was prepared under
microwave irradiation and was used to adsorb Cu (II) and Hg (II) in aqueous solution …

A microwave-assisted method for the preparation of a wide color range of 2, 3, 3-
trimethylindolenine-based squaraines and their intermediates is described. This practical …

Protein properties and interactions have been widely investigated by using external labels.
However, the micromolar sensitivity of the current dyes limits their applicability due to the …

We report the synthesis and characterization of a series of symmetrical indolenine-based
squaraine dyes along with the evaluation of their singlet oxygen generation efficiency. The …

A novel mitochondria-targeted ratiometric fluorescent probe was developed via
condensation of carbazole with two indolium units, which could realize the detection of …

Heptamethine cyanine dyes were synthesized in good yields by the reaction between
quaternary indoles and a pentamethinic salt, under mild reaction conditions minimizing …
