The past two decades have witnessed significant advances in the field of aggregation-
induced emission (AIE). Luminescent materials with AIE characteristics (AIEgens) are of …

Chromogenic and fluorogenic probes may be described as the reagents that can interact
with analytes (targets) accompanied by the changes of their spectroscopic (chromogenic, or …

This critical review covers the advances made using the 4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene
(BODIPY) scaffold as a fluorophore in the design, synthesis and application of fluorescent …

Coordination chemistry plays an essential role in the design of photoluminescent probes for
metal ions. Metal coordination to organic dyes induces distinct optical responses which …

When a molecule absorbs a photon of appropriate energy, a chain of photophysical events
ensues, such as internal conversion or vibrational relaxation (loss of energy in the absence …

Porphyrinic molecules have a unique theranostic role in disease therapy; they have been
used to image, detect and treat different forms of diseased tissue including age-related …

Our desire to understand how the individual molecules that make up cells organize, interact,
and communicate to form living systems has led to the burgeoning field of chemical biology …

The brain is a singular organ of unique biological complexity that serves as the command
center for cognitive and motor function. As such, this specialized system also possesses a …

Small-molecule fluorescent probes embody an essential facet of chemical biology. Although
numerous compounds are known, the ensemble of fluorescent probes is based on a modest …

The potential use of circularly polarized luminescence for object identification in a sensor
application is demonstrated. New luminescence probes using pyrene derivatives as sensor …
