Optical imaging is an indispensable tool in clinical diagnostics and fundamental biomedical
research. Autofluorescence-free optical imaging, which eliminates real-time optical …

In this Review article, we systematically summarize the design and applications of various
kinds of long-lived emissive probes for bioimaging and biosensing via time-resolved …

In the preceding decade, the metal complexes of lanthanide ions with light harvesting
organic chromophores have garnered intensive and greater attention due to their marvelous …

Single-atom catalysts (SACs), in which the metal active sites are isolated on the support and
stabilized by coordinated atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, etc., represent the …

The trivalent europium ion (Eu 3+) is well known for its strong luminescence in the red
spectral region, but this ion is also interesting from a theoretical point of view. Due to the …

Bioconjugates are multifunctional constructs in which biomolecules like peptides, proteins,
vitamins and nucleic acids are endowed with the properties of specific payloads. These …

The chemistry of the less familiar elements is a fascinating topic especially for the inorganic
minded. The lanthanides, or rare earths, comprise the 5d block of the periodic table and …

Emerging from the origins of supramolecular chemistry and the development of selective
chemical receptors that rely on lock‐and‐key binding, activity‐based sensing (ABS)—which …

Luminescence bioimaging offers a unique approach for visualizing morphological details of
tissues with subcellular resolution and has become a powerful tool for the manipulation and …

The dynamic chemical diversity of elements, ions and molecules that form the basis of life
offers both a challenge and an opportunity for study. Small-molecule fluorescent probes can …
