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 …

With their versatile absorption, fluorescence, n-type semiconducting and (photo-) stability
properties, perylene bisimides have evolved as the most investigated compounds among …

This comprehensive review surveys developments over the past decade in the field of
naphthalene diimides (NDIs). It explores their application toward: supramolecular chemistry; …

When many of the currently largest chemical companies were founded about 150 years ago,
textile dyes constituted their first products. Interestingly, while most of the utilized colorants …

Near infrared (NIR) light (700–1400 nm) can be used in numerous biological/medical as
well as technological applications. In this work we review the most recent examples of highly …

We report a supramolecular naphthalene diimide (NDI) radical anion with efficient NIR‐II
photothermal conversion for E. coli‐responsive photothermal therapy. The supramolecular …

Photochromism is defined as a reversible transformation of a chemical species between two
isomers having different absorption spectra induced in one or both directions by …

Speed, resolution and sensitivity of today's fluorescence bioimaging can be drastically
improved by fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) that are many‐fold brighter than organic dyes …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

We report a novel small molecule acceptor (SMA) named FTTB-PDI4 obtained via ring-
fusion between the thiophene and perylene diimide (PDI) units of a PDI-tetramer with a …
