Abstract
Integrating aggregation-induced emission (AIE) into thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters holds great promise for the advancement of highly efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Despite recent advancements, a thorough comprehension of the underlying mechanisms remains imperative for the practical application of such materials. In this work, we introduce a novel approach aimed at modulating the TADF process by manipulating dynamic processes in excited states through aggregation effect. Our findings reveal that aggregation not only enhances both prompt and delayed fluorescence simultaneously but also imposes constraints on molecular reorientation. This constraint reinforces spin-orbit coupling and reduces the energy gap between singlets and triplets. These insights deepen our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms governing the aggregation effect on TADF materials and provide valuable guidance for the design of high-efficiency photoluminescent materials.

Abstract
NIR-II imaging-guided phototherapy is an attractive, yet challenging, tumor treatment strategy. By monitoring the accumulation of phototherapy reagents at the tumor site through imaging and determining the appropriate therapy window, the therapeutic effect could be significantly improved. Probes with NIR-II (1000-1700 nm) fluorescence emission and a large Stokes shift hold great promise for fluorescence imaging with deep penetration, minimized self-quenching, and high spatiotemporal resolution. However, due to the lack of a suitable molecular framework, the design of a simple small-molecule dye with a large Stokes shift and NIR-II fluorescence emission has rarely been reported. Herein, we prepare an asymmetric D-π-A type NIR-II fluorescence probe (TBy). The probe is incapsulated in an amphiphilic polymer and modified with a fibronectin targeting peptide CREKA, which could recognize the fibrin-fibronectin complex overexpressed in multiple malignant tumors. The nanoparticles thus constructed (TByC-NPs) have maximum fluorescence emission at 1037 nm with a large Stokes shift of 426 nm, which is the largest Stokes shift among organic NIR-II fluorescent dyes reported in the literature. The TByC-NPs exhibit a good NIR-II imaging performance, active tumor targeting, and good photothermal and photodynamic capabilities. In vitro and in vivo studies verify that the TByC nanoplatform shows outstanding biocompatibility for NIR-II imaging-guided phototherapy and provides an excellent antitumor effect.

Abstract
The interactive flexible device, which monitors the human motion in optical and electrical synergistic modes, has attracted growing attention recently. The incorporation of information attribute within the optical signal is deemed advantageous for improving the interactive efficiency. Therefore, the development of wearable optical information-electronic strain sensors holds substantial promise, but integrating and synergizing various functions and realizing strain-mediated information transformation keep challenging. Herein, an amylopectin (AP) modified nanoclay/polyacrylamide-based nanocomposite (NC) hydrogel and an aggregation-induced-emission-active ink are fabricated. Through the fluorescence-transfer printing of the ink onto the hydrogel film in different strains with nested multiple symbolic information, a wearable interactive fluorescent information-electronic strain sensor is developed. In the sensor, the nanoclay plays a synergistic "one-stone-three-birds" role, contributing to "lightening" fluorescence (≈80 times emission intensity enhancement), ionic conductivity, and excellent stretchability (>1000%). The sensor has high biocompatibility, resilience (elastic recovery ratio: 97.8%), and strain sensitivity (gauge factor (GF): 10.9). Additionally, the AP endows the sensor with skin adhesiveness. The sensor can achieve electrical monitoring of human joint movements while displaying interactive fluorescent information transformation. This research poses an efficient strategy to develop multifunctional materials and provides a general platform for achieving next-generation interactive devices with prospective applications in wearable devices, human-machine interfaces, and artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Fluorescent materials and technologies have become widely used in scientific research, and due to the ability to convert light wavelengths, their application to photosynthetic organisms can affect their development by altering light quality. However, the impacts of fluorescent materials on aquatic plants and their environmental risks remain unclear. To assess the effects of luminescent materials on floating aquatic macrophytes and their rhizosphere microorganisms, 4-(di-p-tolylamino)benzaldehyde-A (DTB-A) and 4-(di-p-tolylamino)benzaldehyde-M (DTB-M) (emitting blue-green and orange-red light, respectively) were added individually and jointly to Spirodela polyrhiza cultures and set at different concentrations (1, 10, and 100 μM). Both DTB-A and DTB-M exhibited phytotoxicity, which increased with concentration under separate treatment. Moreover, the combined group exhibited obvious stress relief at 10 μM compared to the individually treated group. Fluorescence imaging showed that DTB-A and DTB-M were able to enter the cell matrix and organelles of plant leaves and roots. Peroxidation induced cellular damage, contributing to a decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation. Decomposition of organelle structures, starch accumulation in chloroplasts, and plasmolysis were observed under the ultrastructure, disrupting photosynthetic pigment content and photosynthesis. DTB-A and DTB-M exposure resulted in growth inhibition, dry weight loss, and leaf yellowing in S. polyrhiza. A total of 3519 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were identified in the rhizosphere microbiome. The microbial communities were dominated by Alphaproteobacteria, Oxyphotobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria, with the abundance and diversity varied significantly among treatment groups according to Shannon, Simpson, and Chao1 indices. This study revealed the stress defense response of S. polyrhiza to DTB-A and DTB-M exposures, which provides a broader perspective for the bioremediation of pollutants using aquatic plants and supports the further development of fluorescent materials for applications.

Abstract
In 2002, two transformative research paradigms emerged: 'click chemistry' and 'aggregation-induced emission (AIE),' both leaving significant impacts on early 21st-century academia. Click chemistry, which describes the straightforward and reliable reactions for linking two building blocks, has simplified complex molecular syntheses and functionalization, propelling advancements in polymer, material, and life science. In particular, nontoxic, metal-free click reactions involving abiotic functional groups have matured into bioorthogonal reactions. These are organic ligations capable of selective and efficient operations even in congested living systems, therefore enabling in vitro to in vivo biomolecular labelling. Concurrently, AIE, a fluorogenic phenomenon of twisted π-conjugated compounds upon aggregation, has offered profound insight into solid-state photophysics and promoted the creation of aggregate materials. The inherent fluorogenicity and aggregate-emission properties of AIE luminogens have found extensive application in biological imaging, characterized by their high-contrast and photostable fluorescent signals. As such, the convergence of these two domains to yield efficient labelling with excellent fluorescence images is an anticipated progression in recent life science research. In this review, we intend to showcase the synergetic applications of AIE probes and metal-free click or bioorthogonal reactions, highlighting both the achievements and the unexplored avenues in this promising field.

Abstract
Specific biomarker-activatable probes have revolutionized theranostics, being beneficial for precision medicine. Hypoxia is a critical pathological characteristic prevalent in numerous major diseases such as cancers, cardiovascular disorders, inflammatory diseases, and acute ischemia. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have emerged as a promising tool to tackle the biomedical issues. Of particular significance are the hypoxia-responsive AIEgens, representing a kind of crucial probe capable of delicately sensing and responding to the hypoxic microenvironment, thereby enhancing the precision of disease diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of hypoxia-responsive AIEgens for varied biomedical applications. The hypoxia-responsive structures based on AIEgens, such as azobenzene, nitrobenzene, and N-oxide are presented, which are in response to the reduction property to bring about significant alternations in response spectra and/or fluorescence intensity. The bioapplications including imaging and therapy of tumor and ischemia diseases are discussed. Moreover, the review sheds light on the future challenges and prospects in this field. This review aims to provide comprehensive guidance and understanding into the development of activatable bioprobes, especially the hypoxia-responsive AIEgens for improving the diagnosis and therapy outcome of related diseases.

Abstract
As a monumental breakthrough in cancer treatment, immunotherapy has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. However, one challenge faced by immunotherapy is the low response rate and the immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Therefore, it is important to explore new therapeutic strategies and platforms for boosting therapeutic benefits and decreasing the side effects of immunotherapy. In recent years, semiconducting polymer (SP), a category of organic materials with π-conjugated aromatic backbone, has been attracting considerable attention because of their outstanding characteristics such as excellent photophysical features, good biosafety, adjustable chemical flexibility, easy fabrication, and high stability. With these distinct advantages, SP is extensively explored for bioimaging and photo- or ultrasound-activated tumor therapy. Here, the recent advancements in SP-based nanomedicines are summarized for enhanced tumor immunotherapy. According to the photophysical properties of SPs, the cancer immunotherapies enabled by SPs with the photothermal, photodynamic, or sonodynamic functions are highlighted in detail, with a particular focus on the construction of combination immunotherapy and activatable nanoplatforms to maximize the benefits of cancer immunotherapy. Herein, new guidance and comprehensive insights are provided for the design of SPs with desired photophysical properties to realize maximized effectiveness of required biomedical applications.

Abstract
The odd-even effect is a fantastic phenomenon in nature, which has been applied in diverse fields such as organic self-assembled monolayers and liquid crystals. Currently, the origin of each odd-even effect remains elusive, and all of the reported odd-even effects are related to the ground-state properties. Here, we discover an excited-state odd-even effect in the through-space interaction (TSI) of nonconjugated tetraphenylalkanes (TPAs). The TPAs with an even number of alkyl carbon atoms (C2-TPA, C4-TPA, and C6-TPA) show strong TSI, long-wavelength emission, and high QY. However, the odd ones (C1-TPA, C3-TPA, C5-TPA, and C7-TPA) are almost nonexistent with negligible QY. Systematically experimental and theoretical results reveal that the excited-state odd-even effect is synthetically determined by three factors: alkyl geometry, molecular movability, and intermolecular packing. Moreover, these flexible luminescent TPAs possess tremendous advantages in fluorescent information encryptions. This work extends the odd-even effect to photophysics, demonstrating its substantial importance and universality in nature.

Abstract
Alkynylated aroyl-S,N-ketene acetals are readily synthesized in mostly excellent yields by a Sonogashira reaction resulting in a substance library of more than 20 examples. Upon expansion of the reaction sequence by deprotection and concatenating of the copper-click reaction in a one-pot fashion, a library of 11 triazole-ligated aroyl-S,N-ketene acetals is readily accessible. All derivatives show pronounced solid-state emission and aggregation-induced emission properties depending on the nature of the alkynyl or the triazole substituents.

Abstract
Light has profoundly impacted modern medicine and healthcare, with numerous luminescent agents and imaging techniques currently being used to assess health and treat diseases. As an emerging concept in luminescence, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) has shown great potential in biological applications due to its advantages in terms of brightness, biocompatibility, photostability, and positive correlation with concentration. This review provides a comprehensive summary of AIE luminogens applied in imaging of biological structure and dynamic physiological processes, disease diagnosis and treatment, and detection and monitoring of specific analytes, followed by representative works. Discussions on critical issues and perspectives on future directions are also included. This review aims to stimulate the interest of researchers from different fields, including chemistry, biology, materials science, medicine, etc., thus promoting the development of AIE in the fields of life and health.

Synthesis and Characterization of Tetraphenylethene AIEgen-Based Push-Pull Chromophores for Photothermal Applications: Could the Cycloaddition-Retroelectrocyclization Click Reaction Make Any Molecule Photothermally Active? Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24108715. [PMID: 37240061 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24108715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Three new tetraphenylethene (TPE) push-pull chromophores exhibiting strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) are described. They were obtained via [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) click reactions on an electron-rich alkyne-tetrafunctionalized TPE (TPE-alkyne) using both 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethene (TCNE), 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4-TCNQ) as electron-deficient alkenes. Only the starting TPE-alkyne displayed significant AIE behavior, whereas for TPE-TCNE, a faint effect was observed, and for TPE-TCNQ and TPE-F4-TCNQ, no fluorescence was observed in any conditions. The main ICT bands that dominate the UV-Visible absorption spectra underwent a pronounced red-shift beyond the near-infrared (NIR) region for TPE-F4-TCNQ. Based on TD-DFT calculations, it was shown that the ICT character shown by the compounds exclusively originated from the clicked moieties independently of the nature of the central molecular platform. Photothermal (PT) studies conducted on both TPE-TCNQ and TPE-F4-TCNQ in the solid state revealed excellent properties, especially for TPE-F4-TCNQ. These results indicated that CA-RE reaction of TCNQ or F4-TCNQ with donor-substituted are promising candidates for PT applications.

[PMID: 36668898 PMCID: PMC9861643 DOI: 10.3390/toxins15010079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on fluorescent microbeads has attracted much attention for its use in rapid and accurate food safety monitoring. However, conventional fluorescent microbeads are limited by the aggregation-caused quenching effect of the loaded fluorophores, thus resulting in low signal intensity and insufficient sensitivity of fluorescent LFIA. In this study, a green-emitting fluorophore with an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic was encapsulated in polymer nanoparticles via an emulsification technique to form ultrabright fluorescent microbeads (denoted as AIEMBs). The prepared AIEMBs were then applied in a competitive LFIA (AIE-LFIA) as signal reporters for the rapid and highly sensitive screening of fumonisin B1 (FB1) in real corn samples. High sensitivity with a detection limit of 0.024 ng/mL for FB1 was achieved by the developed AIE-LFIA. Excellent selectivity, good accuracy, and high reliability of the AIE-LFIA were demonstrated, indicating a promising platform for FB1 screening.

Unfortunately, attaining accountable organic emission intensity around the NIR(II) region is hampered by the dominant internal conversion operated by the energy gap law, where the emission energy gap and the associated internal reorganization energy λint play key roles. Up to the current stage, the majority of the reported organic NIR(II) emitters belong to those polymethines terminated by two symmetric chromophores. Such a design has proved to have a small λint that greatly suppresses the internal conversion. However, the imposition of symmetric chromophores is stringent, limiting further development of organic NIR(II) dyes in diversity and versatility. Here, we propose a new concept where as far as the emissive state of the any asymmetric polymethines contains more or less equally transition density between two terminated chromophores, λint can be as small as that of the symmetric polymethines. To prove the concept, we synthesize a series of new polymethines terminated by xanthen-9-yl-benzoic acid and 2,4-diphenylthiopyrylium derivatives, yielding AJBF1112 and AEBF1119 that reveal emission peak wavelength at 1112 and 1119 nm, respectively. The quantum yield is higher than all synthesized symmetric polymethines of 2,4-diphenylthiopyrylium derivatives (SC1162, 1182, 1185, and 1230) in this study. λint were calculated to be as small as 6.2 and 7.3 kcal/mol for AJBF1112 and AEBF1119, respectively, proving the concept. AEBF1119 was further prepared as a polymer dot to demonstrate its in vitro specific cellular imaging and in vivo tumor/bone targeting in the NIR(II) region.

NIR-II and visible fluorescence hybrid imaging-guided surgery via aggregation-induced emission fluorophores cocktails. Mater Today Bio 2022; 16:100399. [PMID: 36052153 PMCID: PMC9424606 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Fluorescence imaging-guided surgery is one of important techniques to realize precision surgery. Although second near-infrared window (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging has the advantages of high resolution and large penetration depth in surgical navigation, its major drawback is that NIR-II images cannot be detected by our naked eyes, which demands a high hand-eye coordination for surgeons and increases the surgical difficulty. On the contrary, visible fluorescence can be observed by our naked eyes but has poor penetration. Here, we firstly propose a kind of NIR-II and visible fluorescence hybrid navigation surgery assisted via a cocktail of aggregation-induced emission nanoparticles (AIE NPs). NIR-II imaging helps to locate deep targeted tissues and judge the residual, and visible fluorescence offers an easily surgical navigation. We apply this hybrid navigation mode in different animals and systems, and verify that it can accelerate surgical process and compatible with a visible fluorescence endoscopy. To deepen the understanding of lymph node (LN) labelling, the distribution of NPs in LNs after local administration is initially analyzed by NIR-II fluorescence wide-filed microscopy, and two fates of the NPs are summarized. An alternative strategy which combines indocyanine green and berberine is also reported as a compromise for rapidly clinical translation.

Abstract
The increasing resistance among fungi to antimicrobials are posing global threats to health. Early treatment with appropriate antifungal drugs guided by the antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) can dramatically reduce the mortality of severe fungal infections. However, the long test time (24-48 h) of the standard AFSTs cannot provide timely results due to the slow growth of the pathogen. Herein, we report a new AFST that is independent of growth rate analysis using a luminogen with aggregation-induced emission characteristics (AIEgen) named DMASP. DMASP is a water-soluble small-molecule probe that can readily penetrate the dense fungal cell wall. Based on its mitochondria-targeting ability and AIE characteristics, fungal activity can be dynamically indicated via real-time fluorescence monitoring. This allows fungal susceptibility to various antimicrobials to be assessed within 12 h in a wash-free, one-step manner. This method may serve as a promising tool to rapidly detect possible drug-resistant fungal strain and guide the precise use of antimicrobial against fungal diseases.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) possess enhanced fluorescence in highly aggregated states, thus enabling AIEgens as a promising module for highly emissive fluorescence biomaterials. So far, AIEgens-based nanomaterials and their hybrids have been reported for biomedical applications. Benefiting from the intrinsic biocompatibility and biofunction-editing properties of peptides, peptide-AIEgens hybrid biomaterials reveal unlimited possibilities including target capacity, specificity, stimuli-responsiveness, self-assembly, controllable structural transformation, etc.. In the last two decades, peptide-AIEgens hybrid nanomaterials with a unique design concept in aggregated states have achieved various biomedical applications such as biosensing, bioimaging, imaging-guided surgery, drug delivery and therapy. More recently, programmable design of peptide-AIEgens for in situ self-assembly provides a unique strategy for constructing intelligent entities with defined biological functions. In this review, we summarize the basic design principle of programmable peptide-AIEgens, structure-effect relationship and their unusual biomedical effects. Finally, an outlook and perspective toward future challenges and developments of peptide-AIEgens nanomaterials are concluded.

Abstract
This case study provides evidence for the appearance of multiple aggregation forms of a single organic dye, arising from its packing polymorphs in the solid state. Each aggregate can be spectroscopically matched to one polymorph, acquiring nanoscopic structural information even in the absence of conventional H- or J-type aggregation spectral features. The conversion from one polymorphic aggregate to another supports the action of Ostwald's rule of stages in organic aggregates suspended in solution. Mechanistically, dye molecules from one aggregate dissociate then renucleate the more stable aggregate form, the first demonstration for an aggregation-induced emission-active organic dye.
