Heptamethine indocyanines are invaluable probes for near-infrared (NIR) imaging. Despite
broad use, there are only a few synthetic methods to assemble these molecules, and each …

Abstract Near‐infrared light (NIR; 650–900 nm) offers unparalleled advantages as a
biocompatible stimulus. The development of photocages that operate in this region …

Photocages enable scientists to take full control over the activity of molecules using light as
a biocompatible stimulus. Their emerging applications in photoactivated therapies call for …

Fluorescent molecular probes that report nitroreductase activity have promise as imaging
tools to elucidate the biology of hypoxic cells and report the past hypoxic history of …

Elevated level of hypochlorous acid (HClO) is closely associated with cancer development.
Identifying HClO level in cancer cells would provide important evidence in either early-stage …

Pathophysiological micro-environments such as viscosity, polarity and hypoxia are tightly
correlated with regulating diffusion, transportation, and intermolecular interactions in living …

Spin–orbit coupling between electronic states of different multiplicity can be strongly coupled
to molecular vibrations, and this interaction is becoming recognized as an important …

We designed and developed the probe P-1 for detecting H 2 O 2. The probe can selectively
detect H 2 O 2 with colorimetric change. In addition, the combination of portable test strips …

Two new azobenzene heptamethine cyanine conjugates exist as dispersed monomeric
molecules in methanol solution and exhibit near-infrared (NIR) cyanine absorption and …

Mercury toxicity and its environmental impact are significant concerns for public health and
environmental protection. Therefore, the development of effective, rapid, and reliable …
