In this short review, we attempt to unfold various aspects of excited-state intramolecular
proton transfer (ESIPT) from the studies that are available up to date. Since Weller's …

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 …

Coordination chemistry plays an essential role in the design of photoluminescent probes for
metal ions. Metal coordination to organic dyes induces distinct optical responses which …

Recently, organic fluorescent molecules harnessing the excited‐state intramolecular proton
transfer (ESIPT) process are drawing great attention due to their unique photophysical …

Fluorescence imaging techniques involving chemical sensors are essential tools in many
fields of science and technology because they enable the visualization of parameters which …

The brain is a singular organ of unique biological complexity that serves as the command
center for cognitive and motor function. As such, this specialized system also possesses a …

It is still a significant challenge to develop a Zn2+-selective fluorescent sensor with the ability
to exclude the interference of some heavy and transition metal (HTM) ions such as Fe2+ …

Proton transfer involving site-specific hydrogen-bonding interactions is one of the most
fundamental and important reactions in chemistry and biology. Deliberately triggering this …

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 …

A short and efficient route to a broad range of imidazo [1, 2-a] pyridines from 2-
aminopyridines and acetophenones is achieved by a tandem, one-pot process starting with …
