This is the first comprehensive review on methods and materials for use in optical sensing of
pH values and on applications of such sensors. The Review starts with an introduction that …

The review considers the results of research by scientists from different countries in the field
of synthesis and photophysical property study of known BODIPY. We focus on describing the …

The microenvironment is indispensable for functionality of various biomacromolecules,
subcellular compartments, living cells, and organisms. In particular, physical properties …

Chromogenic and fluorogenic probes may be described as the reagents that can interact
with analytes (targets) accompanied by the changes of their spectroscopic (chromogenic, or …

The long wavelength (far-red to NIR) analyte-responsive fluorescent probes are
advantageous for in vivo bioimaging because of minimum photo-damage to biological …

Far-red and near infrared (NIR) emissive dyes have advantages in the development of
fluorescent probes and labelling for bio-imaging in living systems since fluorescence in the …

There has been a consistent increase in output related to the development and application
of optical chemical sensors since∼ 1980. The rise of activity was linked to the major …

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dyes have emerged as promising modalities for monitoring
the levels of various biologically relevant species in cells and organisms. The use of NIR …

Azadipyrromethenes were first described over 70 years ago as blue pigments, but now are
rapidly emerging as a compound class with highly desirable near infrared photophysical …

Fiber-optics enable direct optical spectroscopy (from the infared to the ultraviolet; in
absorption, emission and plasmonic resonance) to be performed at inaccessible sites, over …
