The novel selenoviologen-based tetracationic cyclophanes (green boxes 3 and 5) with rigid
electron-deficient cavities are synthesized via SN2 reactions in two steps. The green boxes …

Motion-induced change in emission (MICE) is a phenomenon that can be employed to
develop various types of probes, including temperature and viscosity sensors. Although …

Energy transfer and exciplex emission are not only crucial photophysical processes in many
living organisms but also important for the development of smart photonic materials. We …

The photosensitizers (PSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) mostly possess conjugated
skeletons that are over-sized and poorly water-soluble to be encapsulated by conventional …

Here, we report an approach to the synthesis of highly charged enantiopure cyclophanes by
the insertion of axially chiral enantiomeric binaphthyl fluorophores into the constitutions of …

Polar and polarizable π-conjugated organic molecules containing push–pull chromophores
have been investigated extensively in the past. Identifying unique backbones and building …
