This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the …

Boron dipyrromethene (Bodipy) is one of the most extensively investigated organic
chromophores. Most of the investigations are focused on the singlet excited state of Bodipy …

This review article presents the most recent developments in the use of materials based on
dipyrromethene (DPM) and azadipyrromethenes (ADPM) for organic photovoltaic (OPV) …

As the world's population increases and substantial industrial growth continues, the energy
demands of society increase rapidly. Although the earth's oil, natural gas, and coal deposits …

Conspectus Cyanine derivatives, named from the Greek word kyanos meaning dark-blue,
were discovered more than 150 years ago and remain one of the most widely used classes …

In this perspective, we present an overview of the determination of excited-state properties of
“real-life” dyes, and notably of their optical absorption and emission spectra, performed …

Fluorescent compounds based on synthetic small molecules are powerful tools to visualize
biological events in living cells and organisms. Ever since the discovery of organic …

Transition metal complexes have been studied for decades due to their interesting
photophysical processes and their applications in photocatalysis, photodynamic therapy …

2-Thienyl and 2, 6-bisthienyl BODIPY derivatives (BS-SS and BS-DS) were prepared that
show intense absorption (ε= 65000 M–1 cm–1 at 507 nm) and a large Stokes shift (96 nm) …

Resonance energy transfer (RET) was used for the first time to enhance the visible light
absorption of triplet photosensitizers. The intramolecular energy donor (boron …
