Article Abstract
Immobilizing organic chromophores within the rigid framework of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) augments fluorescence by effectively curtailing molecular motions. Yet, the substantial interspaces and free volumes inherent to MOFs can undermine photoluminescence efficiency, as they partially constrain intramolecular dynamics. In this study, we achieved optimization of both one- and two-photon excited fluorescence by incorporating linkers into an interpenetrated tetraphenylethene-based MOF (TPE-MOF). This linker installation strategy enables fine-tuning of both crystal packing density and ligand conformations. Strikingly, the desolvated MOFs exhibit remarkable two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-sections, reaching an impressive 8801 GM. Consequently, these materials demonstrate exceptional performance in one- and two-photon excited cellular imaging of HepG2 cells. Our work introduces an innovative approach to enhancing two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) and broadens the scope of research into one- and two-photon excited fluorescence (1/2 PEF).

Computer simulations play an essential role in the interpretation of experimental multiphoton absorption spectra. In addition, models derived from theory allow for the establishment of "structure-property" relationships. This work contributes to these efforts and presents the results of an analysis of two- and three-photon absorptions for a set comprising 450 conjugated molecules performed at the CAM-B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level.

Here, 0D metal halides RbBiCl have achieved a transition from nonluminescence to effective self-trapped excitons (STEs) emission after Sb ion doping at room temperature. The femtosecond transient absorption spectrum reveals the nonradiative recombination was suppressed, whose lifetimes change from 93.

Ionization of alkanes to form radical cations activates their otherwise unreactive C-H bonds, facilitating important chemical processes such as hydrocarbon cracking. This work investigates the radical cation dissociation dynamics of hexane (CH) structural isomers by using femtosecond time-resolved mass spectrometry and quantum chemical calculations. All five isomers exhibit competition between the yields of fragment ions arising from direct C-C bond cleavage or dissociative rearrangement with hydrogen migration on dynamical time scales of ∼50-300 fs, suggesting that hydrogen migration in the metastable cations operates on such short time scales.

Background: The visual pathway, consisting of the eye, optic nerve, and brain, serves as a valuable model for studying neural regeneration. The exceptional regenerative capacity of the zebrafish visual system enables detailed investigation of neural repair mechanisms in vivo. Although the transparency of zebrafish larvae permits real-time imaging of axonal regeneration following transection, previous methodological limitations such as pigment interference and suboptimal imaging protocols have hindered high-resolution analyses of structural recovery and cellular interaction throughout the entire visual pathway after optic nerve injury.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a highly promising approach for tumor treatment, owing to its remarkable spatiotemporal precision and non-invasive characteristics. Nevertheless, the clinical translation of conventional organic photosensitizers remains constrained by inherent limitations, including a low photosensitization effect, limited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in a hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME), restricted tissue penetration depth, and inefficient tumor-targeting. To address these challenges, this review examines molecular engineering strategies through rational structure design, focusing on five critical aspects: (i) to promote the intersystem crossing (ISC) process by introducing heavy atoms, designing photosensitizers with a twisted conformation structure or polymerization for amplified ROS generation; (ii) to conquer tumor hypoxia construction of type I photosensitizers, fractional photosensitizers and other radical-generating photosensitizers; (iii) to excite with near-infrared light constructing a D-A structure, fabricating -aggregates, or utilizing two-photon excitation to improve the penetration depth; (iv) to target tumor tissues through conjugating photosensitizers with tumor-specific ligands or gene-encoded fragments to achieve tumor-targeted therapy; and (v) to reduce the off-target effect designing TME-activatable photosensitizers.
