The property of organic light-responsive materials is determined by their electronic excited
states to a large extent, for instance, the radiative decay rate constants, redox potentials, and …

In this Perspective, we discuss recent advances made to evaluate from first-principles the
excited-state decay rate constants of organic fluorophores, focusing on the so-called static …

Viscosity in the intracellular microenvironment shows a significant difference in various
organelles and is closely related to cellular processes. Such microviscosity in live cells is …

Defining a theoretical model systematically delivering accurate ab initio predictions of the
fluorescence quantum yields of organic dyes is highly desirable for designing improved …

Precise tuning of the fluorescence quantum yield, vital for countless applications of
fluorophores, remains exceptionally challenging due to numerous factors affecting energy …

Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) molecules are widely used as laser dyes and have
therefore become a popular research topic within recent years. Numerous studies have …

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 …

It is well-known that the fluorescence of a chromophore can be efficiently quenched by the
free rotor effect, sometimes called intramolecular rotation (IMR), ie by a large-amplitude …

A variety of fluorescent molecular viscosity probes have been widely used for mapping the
local viscosity in cells and for monitoring the microenvironments in materials. However, their …

Semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) have recently emerged as a new type of ultrabright
fluorescent probe that has been proved to be very useful for biomedical imaging. However …
