Diarylethene (DAE) photoswitches, known for their reversible photoinduced cyclization and
cycloreversion reactions, have shown great promise in various fields such as optical data …

Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a chemical species between two
isomers having different absorption spectra induced in one or both directions by …

Sulfoxide-bridged dimeric BODIPYs were developed as a new class of long-wavelength
photoconvertible fluorophores. Upon visible-light irradiation, a sulfoxide moiety was …

Fluorophores and probes are invaluable for the visualization of the location and dynamics of
gene expression, protein expression, and molecular interactions in complex living systems …

Photoswitchable fluorophores─ proteins and synthetic dyes─ whose emission is reversibly
switched on and off upon illumination, are powerful probes for bioimaging, protein tracking …

Rhodamine dyes are widely used as fluorescent probes owing to their high absorption
coefficient and broad fluorescence in the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum, high …

Decoding cellular processes requires visualization of the spatial distribution and dynamic
interactions of biomolecules. It is therefore not surprising that innovations in imaging …

Fluorescent molecules and materials are widely used in many areas in physics, chemistry,
and biology as emitters, tags, or sensors. The possibility of controlling their fluorescence …
