Organic radicals are attracting increasing interest as a new class of molecular emitters. They
demonstrate electronic excitation and relaxation dynamics based on their doublet or higher …

Fluorophores based on the 4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene (aka boron dipyrromethene,
boron dipyrrin, or BODIPY) platform have found diverse applications in different fields of …

Small organic photothermal agents (SOPTAs) that absorb in the second near‐infrared (NIR‐
II, 1000–1700 nm) window are highly desirable in photothermal therapy for their good …

This work provides an overview of the recent advances in the field of two-photon absorbing
chromophores active in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectral range. Herein the …

Organic diradicaloids have unique open-shell structures and properties and promising
applications in organic electronics and spintronics. Incorporation of heteroatoms is an …

Spatial electronic communications of chromophores are both theoretically and practically
fascinating. Despite intramolecular or intermolecular exciton coupling was observed in …

A terrylenedicarboximide–anthraquinone dyad, FTQ, with absorption in the second near-
infrared region (NIR-II) is obtained as a high-performance chromophore for photothermal …

At present, BODIPY and its derivatives are a kind of multifunctional photosensitive organic
dyes, because of their small Stokes shift, strong absorption, narrow absorption and …

In this Feature Article, we highlight our recent efforts toward stable open-shell singlet
diradicaloids and polyradicaloids. A brief review on the historical works in the area is …

Molecular carbons (MCs) are molecular cutouts of carbon materials. Doping with
heteroatoms and constructing open‐shell structures are two powerful approaches to achieve …
