A mechanical bond presents a combination of the best features of covalent and
supramolecular chemistries (stability and structural integrity), plus a unique dynamic nature …

The history of isomeric types of organic molecules has passed through several important
stages:(1) Molecules that differ from each other with different numbers and types of atoms;(2) …

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

Squaraine dyes are a class of organic dyes with strong and narrow absorption bands in the
near-infrared. Despite high molar absorptivities and fluorescence quantum yields, these …

Molecular imaging often relies on the use of targeted and activatable reporters to quantitate
and visualize targets, biological processes, and cells in vivo. The use of optical probes with …

Squaraine dyes (SQs) are an important class of polymethine dyes with a unique reasonable‐
stabilized zwitterionic structure, in which electrons are highly delocalized over the …

Fluorescent dyes based on small organic molecules that function in the near infrared (NIR)
region are of great current interest in chemical biology. They allow for imaging with minimal …

Fluorescence imaging is one of the most powerful techniques for monitoring biomolecules in
living systems. Fluorescent sensors with absorption and emission in the near-infrared (NIR) …

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) doped with lanthanides have limited brightness due
to their small absorption cross section to light. However, using organic sensitizers can …
