Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable)
protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to …

The use of polymer photoreactions dates back some 4000 years to when ancient Egyptians
and Babylonians used sunlight to photo-cross-link linens during mummification and to …

The design of new molecules for photochemical studies typically requires knowledge of
spectral features of pertinent chromophores beginning with the absorption spectrum (λabs) …

A large basis set of α-oligothiophenes with two to seven rings (α2− α7), also including
thiophene, α1, have been investigated in five solvents regarding absorption, fluorescence …

Solvatochromic fluorophores possess emission properties that are sensitive to the nature of
the local microenvironment. These dyes have been exploited in applications ranging from …

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 …

The study of nonconventional luminescence is important for revealing the luminescence of
natural systems and has gradually drawn the attention of researchers in recent years …

Chemoselective ligation reactions represent a powerful approach for labeling of proteins or
small molecules in a biological environment. We report here a fluorogenic probe that is …

In 2003, we successfully created the first fluorescent polymeric thermometer by combining a
thermo-responsive polymer and an environment-sensitive (polarity and hydrogen bonding …

Solvent polarity and temperature effect on the photophysical properties of two 1, 2-
