Article Abstract

The exploration of deactivation mechanisms for near-infrared(NIR)-emissive organic molecules has been a key issue in chemistry, materials science and molecular biology. In this study, based on transient absorption spectroscopy and transient grating photoluminescence spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the aggregated Pt complex 4H (efficient NIR emitter) exhibits collective out-of-plane motions with a frequency of 32 cm (0.96 THz) in the excited states. Importantly, similar THz characteristics were also observed in analogous Pt complexes with prominent NIR emission efficiency. The conservation of THz motions enables excited-state deactivation to proceed along low-frequency vibrational coordinates, contributing to the suppression of nonradiative decay and remarkable NIR emission. These novel results highlight the significance of excited-state vibrations in nonradiative processes, which serve as a benchmark for improving device performance.

Understanding the excited-state dynamics of atomically precise coinage metal nanoclusters (CMNCs) is pivotal for elucidating their photoluminescence (PL) mechanisms and rationally tuning emission properties-particularly in the near-infrared (NIR) region, where CMNC-based nanomaterials have tremendous potential for biomedical and optoelectronic applications. This review presents a systematic and comprehensive account of recent advances in investigating the excited-state dynamics and PL mechanisms of NIR-emitting CMNCs with atomic precision, leveraging the synergistic integration of time-resolved spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Distinct from previous reviews that offer a broad survey of CMNC properties, the present review focuses specifically on intrinsic factors, highlighting molecular vibrational features and electronic structure modulation as key determinants of NIR emission.

A series of unsymmetrically substituted BODIPY dyes featuring fused benzo- or naphtho-fragments on one pyrrolic unit were synthesized from the corresponding pyrrolic precursors. The synthetic route was optimized using a modular approach based on the condensation of formylpyrroles with alkylpyrroles, enabling the identification of precursor combinations that minimize byproduct formation and improve preparative yields. The resulting benzo- and naphtho-fused BODIPYs display intense fluorescence in the red region, with emission maxima spanning 590-680 nm and fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 0.

Real-time monitoring of senescent cells is of great significance for understanding and intervening in aging. Since overexpression of endogenous β-galactosidase (β-gal) is not unique to senescent cells, probes relying solely on β-gal activity could yield inaccurate senescent cell detection. Herein, we designed a dual-mode sequential response AND logic NIR probe MFB-βgal, which contains a β-gal-cleavable unit and a morpholine unit, serving as an enzymatic activity trigger and a lysosomal targeting moiety, respectively.

Multimodal phototheranostics has been recognized as one of the most momentous advances in cancer treatment. Of particular interest is a single molecular species simultaneously featuring in multiple imaging and synergistic phototherapies; the development of such a molecular species is nevertheless a formidably challenging task. Herein, we innovatively designed and synthesized three aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active molecules with emission in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window, by employing 10-indeno[1,2-][1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-]quinoxalin-10-one as the electron acceptor, 4-(-butyl)--(4-(-butyl)phenyl)--phenylaniline as the electron donor, and different π-bridge moieties.
