This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the …

The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …

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 …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinical treatment in which a light‐absorbing drug called a
photosensitizer (PS) is combined with light and molecular oxygen to generate cytotoxic …

Highly versatile BODIPY dyes proved themselves to be very useful as photosensitizers.
These dyes can be derivatized to absorb essentially anywhere in the visible the near IR …

This minireview is devoted to honoring the memory of Dr. Thomas Dougherty, a pioneer of
modern photodynamic therapy (PDT). It compiles the most important inputs made by our …

Photoactivatable protecting groups (PPGs) or caged compounds are beneficial tools for
spatiotemporal controlled release of bioagents, fluorescent probes, polymerization initiators …

Singlet oxygen (1O2), as an important active reagent, has found wide applications in
photodynamic therapy (PDT), synthetic chemistry, and materials science. Organic …

Formation of singlet oxygen (1O2) was reported to accompany light stress in plants,
contributing to cell signaling or oxidative damage. So far, Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green …

Many natural oxidations are relevant to the origin and running of life but usually proceeded
under mild conditions using molecular oxygen (O2) in the air as the sole oxidant and …
