Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE), the phenomenon by which selected luminophores undergo the enhancement of emission intensity upon aggregation, has demonstrated potential in materials and biomaterials science, and in particular in those branches for which spectral management in the solid state is of fundamental importance. Its development in the area of luminescent spectral conversion devices like luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) is instead still in its infancy. This account aims at summarizing relevant contributions made in this field so far, with a special emphasis on the design of molecular and macromolecular architectures capable of extending their spectral breadth to the deep-red (DR) and the near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Because of the many prospective advantages characterizing these spectral regions in terms of photon flux density and human-eye perception, it is anticipated that further development in the design, synthesis and engineering of advanced molecular and macromolecular DR/NIR-active AIE luminophores will enable faster and easier integration of LSCs into the built environment as highly transparent, active elements for unobtrusive light-to-electricity conversion.

Abstract
The energy loss induced open-circuit voltage (VOC) deficit hampers the rapid development of state-of-the-art organic solar cells (OSCs), therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore effective strategies to address this issue. Herein, a new volatile solid additive 1,4-bis(iodomethyl)cyclohexane (DIMCH) featured with concentrated electrostatic potential distribution is utilized to act as a morphology-directing guest to reduce energy loss in multiple state-of-art blend system, leading to one of highest efficiency (18.8%) at the forefront of reported binary OSCs. Volatile DIMCH decreases radiative/non-radiative recombination induced energy loss (ΔE2/ΔE3) by rationally balancing the crystallinity of donors and acceptors and realizing homogeneous network structure of crystal domain with reduced D-A phase separation during the film formation process and weakens energy disorder and trap density in OSCs. It is believed that this study brings not only a profound understanding of emerging volatile solid additives but also a new hope to further reduce energy loss and improve the performance of OSCs.

Abstract
The distinctive characteristics of near-infrared fluorescent organic molecules render them indispensable across diverse applications, from energy harvesting to bioimaging and sensing technologies. In this work, we continue our investigation on the chalcone derivative, 4-dimethylamino-2'-hydroxychalcone (nDHC, n = 1; where n is the number of olefinic bonds), by expanding the number of central double bonds (n = 2 (2DHC) and n = 3 (3DHC)). Additionally, we also synthesized the structurally related chalcones lacking the OH group (DC, 2DC, 3DC) in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of their effects on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The results show remarkable bathochromic shifts in absorption and fluorescence peaks in solution as n increases. These shifts, 20 nm and 35 nm for absorption and 100 nm and 200 nm for fluorescence in 2DHC and 3DHC, respectively, signify enhanced ICT and a significant increase in the excited state's dipole moment. The presence of OH groups notably amplifies these shifts due to additional electron donation, influencing solute-solvent interactions in solution. Femtosecond fluorescence upconversion and transient absoprtion techniques unraveled distinct dynamics in these derivatives, exhibiting the dominance of vibrational cooling, solvation, and intramolecular motions, particularly in the larger conjugated systems 3DHC and 3DC. The observed changes in the femtosecond transinet absorption spectra suggest the existence of new active states in extended conjugation systems, indicating diverse intramolecular conformational states contributing to their relaxation dynamics. The results of this study provide invaluable insights into excited-state spectroscopy, offering a roadmap for tailoring chalcone derivatives for specific applications.

Abstract
Nitroxinil (NIT) is a widely using veterinary medicine to protect cattle and sheep yet may threaten human health when ingested through food chain. Developing fluorescent analytical methods in ratiometric manners was essential for the on-site detection and in-situ monitoring of NIT but still challenging. Here, we improved the indicator-displacement assay (IDA)-based method and designed the first ratiometric fluorescent probe for NIT by using an albumin host and an Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) guest. This probe exhibited fast response (10 s), high sensitivity (limit of detection: 4.6 ppb), good selectivity (over twelve medicines) and eye-discriminable fluorescent color change (green-red) upon responding to NIT. Based on these properties, this probe enabled quantitative determination of NIT in real food samples, on-site analysis via a paper-based test strip, and fluorescence imaging of NIT in living cells.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal), which is responsible for the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond of lactose to galactose, has been recognized as an important biomarker of cell or organism status, especially cell senescence and primary ovarian cancer. Extensive efforts have been devoted to develop probes for detecting and visualizing β-gal in cells. Herein, a fluorescent probe gal-HCA which possesses both excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties was prepared to monitor β-gal in living cells. The probe consists of 2-hydroxy-4'-dimethylamino-chalcone (HCA) capped with a D-galactose group. The cleavage of the glycosidic bond in gal-HCA triggered by β-gal releases HCA, which results in a significant bathochromic shift in fluorescence from 532 to 615 nm. The probe exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity toward β-gal with a detection limit as low as 0.0122 U mL-1. The confocal imaging investigation demonstrated the potential of gal-HCA in monitoring the endocellular overexpressed β-gal in senescent cells and ovarian cancer cells. This study provides a straightforward approach for the development of fluorescent probes to monitor β-gal and detection of β-gal-associated diseases.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, crystalline materials constructed from organic linkers and inorganic nodes with potential utility in gas separations, drug delivery, sensing, and catalysis. Small variations in MOF synthesis conditions can lead to a range of accessible frameworks with divergent chemical or photophysical properties. New methods to controllably access phases with tailored properties would broaden the scope of MOFs that can be reliably prepared for specific applications. Herein, we demonstrate that simply increasing the reaction concentration during the solvothermal synthesis of M2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Mn, Ni; dobdc4- = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) MOFs unexpectedly leads to trapping of a new framework termed CORN-MOF-1 (CORN = Cornell University) instead. In-depth spectroscopic, crystallographic, and computational studies support that CORN-MOF-1 has a similar structure to M2(dobdc) but with partially protonated linkers and charge-balancing or coordinated formate groups in the pores. The resultant variation in linker spacings causes CORN-MOF-1 (Mg) to be strongly photoluminescent in the solid state, whereas H4dobdc and Mg2(dobdc) are weakly emissive due to excimer formation. In-depth photophysical studies suggest that CORN-MOF-1 (Mg) is the first MOF based on the H2dobdc2- linker that likely does not emit via an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) pathway. In addition, CORN-MOF-1 variants can be converted into high-quality samples of the thermodynamic M2(dobdc) phases by heating in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Overall, our findings support that high-concentration synthesis provides a straightforward method to identify new MOFs with properties distinct from known materials and to produce highly porous samples of MOFs, paving the way for the discovery and gram-scale synthesis of framework materials.

Abstract
Woven architectures are prepared by physical entanglement of fibrous components to expand one-dimensional material into two-dimensional sheets with enhanced strength and resilience to wear. Here, we capitalize on the elastic properties of long organic crystals with a high aspect ratio to prepare an array of centimeter-size woven network structures. While being robust to mechanical impact, the woven patches are also elastic due to effective stress dissipation by the elasticity of the individual warp and weft crystals. The thermal stability of component crystals translates into favorable thermoelastic properties of the porous woven structures, where the network remains elastic over a range of 300 K. By providing means for physical entanglement of organic crystals, the weaving circumvents the natural limitation of the small size of slender organic crystals that is determined by their natural growth, thereby expanding the prospects for applications of organic crystals from one-dimensional entities to expandable, two-dimensional robust structures.

Abstract
Organic luminophores displaying one or more forms of luminescence enhancement in solid state are extremely promising for the development and performance optimization of functional materials essential to many modern key technologies. Yet, the effort to harness their huge potential is riddled with hurdles that ultimately come down to a limited understanding of the interactions that result in the diverse molecular environments responsible for the macroscopic response. In this context, the benefits of a theoretical framework able to provide mechanistic explanations to observations, supported by quantitative predictions of the phenomenon, are rather apparent. In this perspective, we review some of the established facts and recent developments about the current theoretical understanding of solid-state luminescence enhancement (SLE) with an accent on aggregation-induced emission (AIE). A description of the macroscopic phenomenon and the questions it raises is accompanied by a discussion of the approaches and quantum chemistry methods that are more apt to model these molecular systems with the inclusion of an accurate yet efficient simulation of the local environment. A sketch of a general framework, building from the current available knowledge, is then attempted via the analysis of a few varied SLE/AIE molecular systems from literature. A number of fundamental elements are identified offering the basis for outlining design rules for molecular architectures exhibiting SLE that involve specific structural features with the double role of modulating the optical response of the luminophores and defining the environment they experience in solid state.

Abstract
A novel anionic heptamethine cyanine (HMC) dye with two trifluoromethyl groups that selectively absorb near-infrared light is synthesized. When contrasted with previously studied anionic HMC dyes with substituents such as methyl, phenyl, and pentafluorophenyl groups, the trifluoromethylated dye displays a red-shifted maximum absorption wavelength (for instance, 948 nm in CH2Cl2) along with enhanced photostability. Furthermore, HMC dyes with broad absorption in the near-infrared region are synthesized by combining a trifluoromethylated anionic HMC dye with a cationic HMC dye as a counterion.

Abstract
The excited-state intramolecular proton transfer chromophores were regarded as good materials for laser action generation due to their inherent four-level photocycle. The excitation-dependent properties of these compounds enable light amplification from two distinct forms: both enol and keto, making it possible to obtain dual fluorescence emission. Herein, we report that a third option is possible for the first time stimulated emission was realized with a deprotonated ESIPT molecule based on a novel rigidified 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole derivative, triggering the possibility to fabricate real-time tunable active material. Through the rational engineering of the ratio of each emissive species, a red-green-blue device was fabricated with the possibility of white light generation. The degenerated two-wave mixing setup was applied to construct a continuously tunable distributed feedback laser.

Abstract
A series of molecules 1-5 containing the same fluorophore and different alkyl chains are synthesized to reveal the significant effect of molecular conformations on the emission properties. In crystalline state, molecules 1-3 exhibit strong orange emissions with maxima (λem) of about 600 nm and quantum yields (ΦF) of around 60%, while molecules 4 and 5 display much longer emissions to the deep red/near-infrared (NIR) region as well as even higher efficiencies (λem = 693 nm, ΦF = 73% for 4; λem = 654 nm, ΦF = 93% for 5). The largely red-shifted emissions of 4 and 5 as well as the significantly improved ΦF are very unusual. Furthermore, the ΦF of 4 and 5 represent the highest values among organic solids with similar deep red/NIR emission wavelengths. On the basis of the experimental measurements and theoretical calculations, the new molecular design of conformation engineering, the impressive emission properties, and the potential NIR fluorescence sensing and lasing applications are comprehensively investigated.

Abstract
Constructing chiral luminescent systems with both large luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) and high luminous efficiency has been considered a great challenge. We herein describe a highly efficient approach to sterically stabilize the helical configurations of carbo[5]helicenes for improved CPL properties in a series of π-donor and π-acceptor substituted [5]helicenes (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). Enabled by the ortho-installation of methyl groups as well as the steric effects of triarylamine (Ar3N) and triarylborane (Ar3B) handles in meta-substituted [5]helicenes, their optical resolution into enantiomers has been accomplished using preparative chiral HPLC. The molecular chirality of [5]helicenes can be transferred to Ar3B and Ar3N as light emitters, which allowed further investigations of their chiroptics, including optical rotation, circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Remarkably, 4 has been demonstrated to display dramatically enhanced CPL performance with a much larger glum (>1.2 × 10-2) and an increased emission quantum efficiency (ΦS = 0.75) compared with the other analogues, as a result of the isomeric tuning of substitutions with differential steric and electronic effects. These experimentally observed CPL activities were rationalized by TD-DFT computations for the angle (θμ,m) between electric and magnetic transition dipole moments in the excited states. In addition, the conspicuous intramolecular donor-acceptor charge transfer led to thermal responses in the emissions of 2 and 4 over a broad temperature range.

Abstract
Fluorescent single crystals that respond to multiple external stimuli are of great interest in molecular machines, sensors, and displays. The integration of photo- or acid-induced fluorescence enhancement and bending in one organic crystal, however, has not been reported yet. Herein, we report the interesting plastic photomechanical bending and switching on of the fluorescence of an azine crystal in a single-crystal transformation, due to extended π-conjugation and molecular slippage. Moreover, the fluorescent plastic bending driven by multiple volatile acid vapors was firstly observed, and attributed to the synergistic effect of push-pull electronic structure and hydrogen bonding. The single crystal also shows high elasticity under external force. In addition, reversible fluorescence switching can be triggered by grinding and solvent fuming, as well as by the adsorption and desorption of HCl vapor. The integration of plastic, elastic bending and switch-on fluorescence into one single crystal provides a new strategy for next-generation smart materials.

Abstract
We report a new design strategy for an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) fluorophore that can be used in acidic media. A photobasic pyridine-centered donor-acceptor-donor-type fluorophore is combined with a basic trialkylamine "strap". In the presence of an acid, protonation occurs predominantly at the amine moiety in the ground state. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the formation of a pre-organized intramolecular hydrogen-bonded structure between the resulting ammonium moiety and the pyridine ring. Upon excitation, the intramolecular charge-transfer transition increases the basicity of the pyridine moiety in the excited state, resulting in proton transfer from the amine to the pyridine moiety. Consequently, the fluorophore takes on a polymethine-dye character in the ESIPT state, which gives rise to significantly red-shifted emission with an increased fluorescence quantum yield.

Abstract
AbstractThere is always a need for efficient luminescent materials with simple synthesis and possible ease of hydrogen atom or functional group manipulation for use in different optoelectronic and biological applications. However, for certain real-world uses aggregation caused quenching effect of luminophores in their solid/aggregate state is undesirable, and is a cause of concern in areas, wherein the solid-state optical performance is more crucial. In this regard, chalcones have been explored for their ability to display aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE), which can be of practical use. This article is thus focused on an integrated evidence-based report on the AIE/AIEE-active chalcone systems for potential technological and biological applications.

Abstract
Polymorphic salts of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe), 2[bpeH2 ] ⋅ (SO4 )(2HSO4 ) (1) and [bpeH2 ] ⋅ 2HSO4 (2) have been synthesized and their structures determined by X-ray crystallography. The Schmidt postulate predicts that neither of the salts will give rise to photodimerization so they can both potentially be applied as green light emitters. Despite the predictions, 1 undergoes a stereospecific solid-state photodimerization reaction with 100 % yield. This is due to UV induced combination of sliding and pedal-like movement of the pyridyl ring system that influences the alignment of C=C bonds. The sliding motion is restricted in 2. Consequently, the green emission from 1 is completely quenched after photodimerization. It is evident that counter ions play a dominant role in dis- and enabling photodimerization; their degree of protonization and lattice placement are important solvent controlled design parameters towards crystal structures that can act as future light emitters.

Abstract
Synthesis of novel mesoscopic semiconductor architectures continually generates new photonic knowledge and applications. However, it remains a great challenge to synthesize semiconductor microcrystals with smoothly curved surfaces owing to the crystal growth anisotropy. Here, a superkinetic crystal growth method is developed to synthesize 2D oval organic semiconductor microcrystals. The solid source dispersion induces an exceptionally large molecular supersaturation for vapor deposition, which breaks the crystal growth anisotropy. The synthesized stadium-shaped organic semiconductor microcrystals naturally constitute fully chaotic optical microresonators. They support low-threshold lasing on high-quality-factor scar modes localized near the stadium boundary and directional laser emission assisted by the chaotic modes. These results will reshape the understanding of the crystal growth theory and provide valuable guidance for crystalline photonic materials design.

Abstract
By performing global-switching on-the-fly trajectory surface-hopping molecular dynamics simulation at the OM2/MRCI (14,15) quantum level, we probed the S3(ππ*) photoisomerization mechanisms associated with excited-state intramolecular hydrogen transfer for 2'-hydroxychalcone (2HC) within the interwoven conical intersection networks from four singlet electronic states (S3, S2, S1, and S0). The simulated quantum yields of 0.03 for cis-to-trans and zero for trans-to-cis photoisomerization were due to almost all the conical intersections being localized either in the cis-2HC or in trans-2HC region, and there was little chance for sampling trajectories to reach the rotation conical intersection (S1/S0) in between cis-2HC and trans-2HC that is key for reactive isomerization. The potential energy well on the S1 state in the trans-2HC region prevents trajectories from trans-to-cis photoisomerization, while the fact there is no well on S1 state in cis-2HC region opens a few chances for trajectories to reach the rotation conical intersections. The present simulation found that excited-state intramolecular hydrogen transfers in 2HC have a negative impact for reactive isomerization, and that hydrogen transfers take place on the S1 state, while back-transfer on the S0 state prevents sampling trajectories reaching rotational conical intersections. It was realized that it could be possible to enhance the quantum yield of 2HC photoisomerization by suppressing the hydrogen transfer (such as by changing an electron-donating substitution or adjusting the substitution position to decrease the acidity of the phenol group). From a perspective view of the potential energy surfaces, the theoretical design of such 2HC derivatives could enhance (control) the quantum yield by shifting the conical intersections away from the cis- and trans-region.

Abstract
Organic solid materials with color-tunable emissions have been extensively applied in various fields. However, a rational design and facile synthesis of an ideal fluorophore are still challenging due to the undesirable aggregation-caused quenching effect in concentrated solution and solid form. Herein, we have developed a series of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT)-derived color-tunable solid emitters by switching functional groups at the ortho-position of a hydroxyl group via formylation and an aldol condensation reaction. By tuning the electron-withdrawing ability and the π-conjugated framework introduced by the functional groups, fluorophores emit light covering the full-color range from blue to near-infrared regions with high quantum yields in their solid form and show a significant solvatochromic effect in polar solvents. The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) or aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) involving fluorescence mechanism, along with their inter/intramolecular interactions in crystals, are elucidated to depict the key factors for tunable emissions and high emitting efficiency. Furthermore, high-quality white-light-emitting materials are obtained in various solvents and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films with combined fluorophores. Overall, these studies report a promising strategy for the construction of organic solid materials with color-tunable emission and shed light on methods for obtaining desirable emission efficiency.

Abstract
Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is intrinsically associated with lasing applications. Inefficient photon energy transfer to ASE is a long-standing issue for organic semiconductors that consist of multiple competing radiative decay pathways, far from being rationally regulated from the perspective of molecular arrangements. Herein, we achieve controllable molecular packing motifs by halogen-bonded cocrystallization, leading to ten times increased radiative decay rate, four times larger ASE radiative decay selectivity and thus remarkable ASE threshold decrease from 223 to 22 μJ cm-2 , albeit with a low photoluminescence quantum yield. We have made an in-depth investigation on the relationship among molecular arrangements, vibration modes, radiative decay profiles and ASE properties. The results suggest that cocrystallization presents a powerful approach to tailor the radiative decay pathways, which is fundamentally important to the development of organic ASE and lasing materials.

Abstract
Lasing applications have spread over various aspects of human life. To meet the developing trends of the laser industry towards being miniature, portable, and highly integrated, new laser technologies are in urgent demand. Organic semiconductors are promising gain medium candidates for novel laser devices, due to their convenient processing techniques, ease of spectral and chemical tuning, low refractive indexes, mechanical flexibilities, and low thresholds, etc. organic solid-state lasers (OSSLs) open up a new horizon of simple, low-cost, time-saving, versatile and environmental-friendly manufacturing technologies for new and desirable laser structures (micro-, asymmetric, flexible, etc.) to unleash the full potential of semiconductor lasers for future electronics. Besides the development of optical feedback structures, the design and synthesis of robust organic gain media is critical as a vigorous aspect of OSSLs. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of recent advances in organic gain materials, mainly focused on organic semiconductors for OSSLs. The significant breakthroughs toward electrical pumping of OSSLs are emphasized. Opportunities, challenges and future research directions for the design of organic gain media are also discussed.

Abstract
Bendable (elastic and plastic) organic single crystals have been widely studied as emerging flexible materials with highly ordered packing structures. However, even though manifold bendable organic crystals have been recently reported, most of them bend in response to only one stimulus. Herein, we report an organic single crystal of (Z)-4-(1-cyano-2-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)vinyl)benzonitrile, which bends under external stress (physical process) and also hydrochloric acid atmosphere (chemical process). This observation indicates that a single organic crystal, whose structure has been optimized simultaneously at both the molecular and supramolecular levels, may display multiple crystal-bending modes. Furthermore, the crystals exhibit bright orange-yellow emission and can serve as an active low-loss optical waveguide in both the straight and the bent state, which indicates a potential optical application.

Abstract
The study of photoexcitations in molecular aggregates faces the twofold problem of the increased computational cost associated with excited states and the complexity of the interactions among the constituent monomers. A mechanistic investigation of these processes requires the analysis of the intermolecular interactions, the effect of the environment, and 3D arrangements or crystal packing on the excited states. A considerable number of techniques have been tailored to navigate these obstacles; however, they are usually restricted to in‐house codes and thus require a disproportionate effort to adopt by researchers approaching the field. Herein, we present the FRamewOrk for Molecular AGgregate Excitations (fromage), which implements a collection of such techniques in a Python library complemented with ready‐to‐use scripts. The program structure is presented and the principal features available to the user are described: geometrical analysis, exciton characterization, and a variety of ONIOM schemes. Each is illustrated by examples of diverse organic molecules in condensed phase settings. The program is available at https://github.com/Crespo-Otero-group/fromage.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) microlasers play a significant role in telecommunication and biomedical tissue imaging. However, it remains a big challenge to realize NIR microlasers because of the difficulty in preparing highly efficient NIR luminescent materials and perfect optical resonators. Here, we propose a molecular design strategy to creatively realize the first spiropyrane (SP)-based NIR microlasers with low threshold from self-assembled microsphercial caps. The tetraphenylethylene (TPE) moiety with a highly twisted conformation provides a large free volume to facilitate the photoisomerization process of SP and enhance NIR emission of merocyanine in the solid state. Moreover, self-assembled TPE-SP microsphercial caps simultaneously serve as gain media and resonant microcavities, providing optical gain and feedback for NIR laser oscillations with a low threshold (3.68 μJ/cm2). These results are beneficial for deeply understanding the SP microstructures-lasing emission characteristic relationship and provide a useful guideline for the rational molecular design of NIR microlasers with special functionalities.

Abstract
A series of five excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emitters based on a 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl) benzoxazole (HBO) scaffold, functionalized with a mono-or bis-(trialkylsilyl) acetylene extended spacer are presented. Investigation of their photophysical properties in solution and in the solid-state in different matrix, along with ab initio calculations gave useful insights into their optical behavior. Random lasing studies were conducted on a series of PMMA doped thin films, showing the presence of stimulated emission above the threshold of pumping energy density (ρth ≈ 0.5–2.6 mJ cm−2). In this work, the similarity of four level laser systems is discussed in light of the ESIPT photocycle.
