Article Abstract
Development of new second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) luminophores is highly desirable, and d square-planar metal complexes with NIR-II phosphorescence have been rarely reported. Herein, we explore an asymmetric coordination paradigm to achieve the first creation of NIR-II phosphorescent isocyanorhodium(i) zwitterions. They show a strong tendency for aggregation in solution, arising from close Rh(i)⋯Rh(i) contacts that are further intensified by π-π stacking interactions and the hydrophilic-hydrophobic effect. Based on such supramolecular aggregation, zwitterions 2 and 5 are found to yield NIR-II phosphorescence emissions centered at 1005 and 1120 (1210, shoulder) nm in methanol-water mixed solvents, respectively. These two bands show red shifts to 1070 and 1130 (1230, shoulder) nm in the corresponding polymer nanoparticles in water. The resulting polymer nanoparticles can brighten tumor issues in the NIR-II region with a long-circulating time. In view of the synthetic diversity established by the asymmetric coordination paradigm, this work provides an extraordinary opportunity to explore NIR-II luminophores.

Following the successful synthesis of rhenium-oxido, rhenium-imido, and rhenium-sulfido corroles, a series of -X-substituted rhenium-selenido triarylcorroles (X = OCH, CH, H, F, CF) have been prepared in 70-76% yields. A one-pot, two-step procedure was used, analogous to that used for ReS corroles, involving rhenium insertion via high-temperature reaction of Re(CO) and free-base corroles in refluxing decalin, followed by exposure to PCl (which is thought to deoxygenate ReO corroles formed under the reaction) and elemental selenium. An analogous procedure, however, failed to yield rhenium-tellurido corroles, presumably reflecting, according to DFT calculations, the limited stability of these species.

Luminescent mechanochromic compounds that cover the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 950-1700 nm) window would provide an interesting type of mechanoresponsive materials and can be applicable in various fields. In this work, we report the synthesis of amino acid-functionalized tetrakis(phenylisocyano)rhodium(I) complexes and their phosphorescent mechanochromism in the entire NIR-II region. Grinding the pristine yellow polycrystalline complexes leads to the formation of green amorphous phases, and correspondingly, the emission wavelength was redshifted from 976 to 1220-1290 nm.

Three-photon phosphorescence microscopic bioimaging holds promise for deep-tissue time-resolved brain imaging with high spatial resolution and contrast. However, developing probes with bright phosphorescence and strong second near-infrared (NIR-II) three-photon absorption suitable for biological applications remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a kind of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based nanoparticles (NPFA-PorPt NPs) is proposed by co-encapsulation of a three-photon absorbing aggregation-induced emission luminogen (NPFA), and a phosphorescent platinum octaethylporphyrin (PorPt) using 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] as the encapsulation matrix.

The increasing demands for modern information communication and storage necessitate the development of near-infrared (NIR) active optical waveguides. However, achieving efficient NIR emission with minimal optical loss remains a critical challenge. Herein, we present a new class of rare earth single-atomic hybrid glasses, synthesized via bottom-up self-assembly, as a solution to these limitations.

Due to the significant relationships between structure and properties, the controlled construction of atomically precise metal clusters presents both a formidable challenge and great importance. The innovative synthesis of well-defined silver nanoclusters with near-infrared II (NIR-II) luminescent properties may inspire further exploration of functional metal nanoclusters for bioimaging applications. In this study, we employed the multidentate chelating nitrogen ligand 3,5-di(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (Hbpypz) to construct three unprecedented silver nanoclusters: [Ag(bpypz)] (), [Ag(bpypz)] (), and [Ag(bpypz)] ().
