Advances in the field of supramolecular chemistry have made it possible, in many situations,
to reliably engineer soft materials to address a specific technological problem. Particularly …

J‐aggregates are of significant interest for organic materials conceived by supramolecular
approaches. Their discovery in the 1930s represents one of the most important milestones in …

J‐Aggregate sind von Interesse für organische Materialen, die mithilfe supramolekularer
Ansätze konzipiert werden. Ihre Entdeckung in den 1930er Jahren war ein Meilenstein der …

The design and development of novel squaraine dyes as sensitisers for photodynamic
therapy (PDT) applications has grown tremendously in the last decade from the time when a …

In the search of novel strategies for the treatment of cancer, photodynamic therapy (PDT)
has emerged as an effective, safe for repeated use, and non-invasive method. This …

A broad series of more than 20 acceptor‐substituted squaraines was synthesized that
feature different acceptor functionalities at the central squaraine four‐membered ring. The …

Cyanine dyes are widely used in the field of tumor phototherapy due to their excellent
photophysical properties. To explore the heavy atoms effects on the photothermal and …

Squaraine dyes are promising chromophores to harvest visible and near-infrared (NIR)
photons. A series of indoline-based unsymmetrical squaraine (SQ) dyes that contain alkyl …

In this work several symmetrical indolenine squaraine dyes with different groups positioned
on the four-membered central ring, such as sulfur, barbituric acid, amino and methylamino …

New squaraine-based chemosensors SQ1 and SQ2 functionalized with 2-picolyl units were
first synthesized and used as highly selective and sensitive colorimetric and fluorometric …
