The traditional development of dyes for biological applications typically begins with
synthesis, is followed by spectroscopic/photophysical characterization, and culminates in …

An efficient and Brønsted acid free one-pot protocol to directly generate structurally
sophisticated α-formylpyrrole derivatives in moderate to good yields has been …

An efficient copper‐catalyzed tandem oxidation/α‐formylation reaction of 2, 3‐dihydro‐1H‐
pyrroles in an oxygen atmosphere has been developed. The new reaction is conducted in …

The preparation of highly water‐soluble and strongly fluorescent diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)
dyes using an unusual taurine‐like sulfonated linker has been achieved. Exchanging a …

Background Although hyperthermia-based photothermal therapy (PTT) has achieved great
success in the battle against malignant tumors, various commonly used photothermal …

Six new bacteriochlorins expanding the range of the strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption

A novel synthesis of pyrrolidine-2-carbaldehydes or tetrahydropyridine-2-carbaldehydes
from the cascade reactions of N-arylpiperidines or N-arylazepanes is presented …

The design and synthesis of new near infrared (NIR) biocompatible dyes have been of great
interest over the last years. Herein, the synthesis of two new water soluble NIR dyes is …
