Metal agents have made incredible strides in preclinical research and clinical applications in
recent years, but their short emission/absorption wavelengths continue to be a barrier to …

As deaths from preventable diseases abate, cancer is becoming one of the leading causes
of death in the world. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive treatment for cancer …

Biomedical applications of porphyrins and related molecules have been extensively
pursued in the context of photodynamic therapy. Recent advances in nanoscale engineering …

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 …

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-porphyrin (TPP) nanohybrids (RGO-TPP 1 and RGO-TPP
2) were prepared by two synthetic routes that involve functionalization of the RGO using …

Due to the specially rigid, planar and zwitterionic structures, squaraine dyes have strong
absorption (ε≥ 105 L mol− 1 cm− 1) in the visible to near-infrared region. Therefore …

In this work, three new squaraine-based aggregation induced emission luminogens
(AIEgens), TPE-SQ1–3, have been successfully developed with different functions by using …
