Phototherapies, in the form of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT),
are very promising treatment modalities for cancer since they provide locality and turn-on …

The interest in squaraine compounds, a relatively old class of dyes, has been recently
renewed due to their potential usefulness in a large number of technologically relevant fields …

Esters are one of the most common functional groups in natural and synthetic products, and
the one-step conversion of the ester group into other functional groups is an attractive …

Abstract (Hetero) Aryl amines, an important class of organic molecules in medicinal
chemistry, are most commonly synthesized from anilines, which are in turn synthesized by …

The design and development of novel squaraine dyes as sensitisers for photodynamic
