Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) has attracted considerable interest over the last twenty
years. In contrast to the large number of available reviews focusing specifically on AIE, this …

Luminescent small, all‐organic molecules are of tremendous interest in materials and life
science applications. Nevertheless, targeted design requires a basic understanding of the …

Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores absorbing maximally in the region beyond 800 nm, ie,
deep-NIR spectral region, are actively sought for biomedical applications. Ideal dyes are …

Recently, molecularly fluorophores for nanotheranostics, bridging in vivo imaging and
therapeutic capability within unimolecular system, has attracted increasing attention …

Proximity effect, which refers to the low-lying (n, π*) and (π, π*) states with close energy
levels, usually plays a negative role in the luminescent behaviors of heterocyclic …

Internal conversion (IC) often is the dominating relaxation pathway in NIR emitters, lowering
their fluorescence quantum yield. Here, we investigate dibenzoterrylene (DBT) by bulk and …

J‐aggregates are highly desired dye aggregates but so far there has been no general
concept how to accomplish the required slip‐stacked packing arrangement for dipolar …

The bioorthogonal nature of perfluorocarbons provides a unique platform for introducing
dynamic nano-and microdroplets into cells and organisms. To monitor the localization and …

Hybrid nanomaterials (HNs), the combination of organic semiconductor ligands attached to
nanocrystal semiconductor quantum dots, have applications that span a range of practical …

Herein we present a systematic study demonstrating to which extent exciton formation can
amplify fluorescence based on a series of ethylene‐bridged oligo‐BODIPYs. A set of non …
