Abstract
Organic dyes that absorb light in the visible to near-infrared region have garnered significant interest, owing to their extensive utility in organic photovoltaics and various biomedical applications. Aza-boron-dipyrromethene (Aza-BODIPY) dyes are a class of chromophores with impressive photophysical properties such as tunable absorption from the visible region towards near infrared (NIR) region, high molar absorptivity, and fluorescence quantum yield. In this review, we discuss the developments in the aza-BODIPYs, related to their synthetic routes, photophysical properties and their applications. Their design strategies, modifications in chemical structures, mode/position of attachment, and their impact on photo-physical properties are reviewed. The potential applications of aza-BODIPY derivatives such as organic solar cells, photodynamic therapy, boron-neutron capture therapy, fluorescence sensors, photo-redox catalysis, photoacoustic probes and optoelectronic devices are explained.

Abstract
Lignin-derived carbon nanodots (LCNs) are nanometer-scale carbon spheres fabricated from naturally abundant lignin. Owing to rich and highly heritable graphene like π-π conjugated structure of lignin, to fabricate LCNs from it not only endows LCNs with on-demand tunable size and optical features, but also further broadens the green and chemical engineering of carbon nanodots. Recently, they have become increasingly popular in sensing, bioimaging, catalysis, anti-counterfeiting, energy storage/conversion, and others. Despite the enormous research efforts put into the ongoing development of lignin value-added utilization, few commercial LCNs are available. To have a deeper understanding of this issue, critical impacts on the preparation, properties, and applications of state-of-the-art LCNs are carefully reviewed and discussed. A concise analysis of their unique advantages, limitations for specific applications, and current challenges and outlook is conducted. We hope that this review will stimulate further advances in the functional material-oriented production of lignin.

Abstract
A series of near-IR absorbing 2,6-diarylated BF2-chelated aza-boron-dipyrromethenes (aza-BDPs) derivatives bearing different electron donors (benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, phenothiazine and carbazole) were designed and synthesized. The effect of different electron donor substitutions on the photophysical properties was studied by steady-state UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra, electrochemical, time-resolved nanosecond transient absorption (ns-TA) spectroscopy and theoretical computations. The UV-vis absorption spectra of AzaBDP-PTZ and AzaBDP-CAR (λabs=710 nm in toluene) showed a bathochromic absorption profile compared with the reference AzaBDP-Ph (λabs=685 nm in toluene), indicating the non-negligible electronic interaction at the ground state between donor and acceptor moieties. Moreover, the fluorescence is almost completely quenched for AzaBDP-PTZ/AzaBDP-CAR (fluorescence quantum yield, ΦF=0.2-0.7 % in toluene) as compared with the AzaBDP-Ph (ΦF=27 % in toluene). However, the apparent intersystem crossing ability of these compounds is poor, based on the singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ=0.3-1.5 %). The ns-TA spectral study showed typical Bodipy localized triplet state transient features, short-lived excited triplet state for AzaBDP-Ph (τT=53.2 μs) versus significantly long-lived triplet state for AzaBDP-CAR (τT=114 μs) was observed under deaerated experimental conditions. These triplet state lifetimes are much longer than that obtained with diiodoAzaBDP (intramolecular heavy atom effect, τT=1.5~7.2 μs). These information are useful for molecular structure design of triplet photosensitizers, for which longer triplet state lifetimes are usually desired. Theoretical computations displayed that the triplet state is mainly localized on the AzaBDP core, moreover, it was found that the HOMO/LUMO energy gap decreased after introducing donor moieties to the skeleton as compared with the reference.

Abstract
Distyrylbenzenes (DSBs) are well-known for their strong multicolour fluorescence. Fluorescence tuning of DSB via further functionalization/arylation, on the other hand, is uncommon. This paper reports a Pd-catalysed direct arylation approach for introducing different aryl groups onto fluorobenzene-containing DSB moiety (7) in high yields (67-72 %). The versatile methodology allows the substitution of neutral [tolyl (1)], electron-deficient [p-formyl benzene (2), p-acetyl benzene (3), p-nitrobenzene (4)] and electron-rich [carbazole (5), triphenylamine (6)] aryl groups. The electron-deficient aryls render mono-substitution, while the electron-rich counterparts promote di-substitution. The compounds (1-6) show blue, green, and yellow fluorescence in both the solution and solid states; the fluorescence quantum yields reach >98 % and the peak maxima span from 425 to 560 nm. The mono-carbazole DSB (5) exhibit white light emission (WLM) in polar solvents (acetone, DMF, CH3CN, DMSO and NMP) with very high fluorescence quantum yields (φf) of 60-80 %. For WLM, such high efficiency (φf) is somewhat uncommon. Moreover, visible-to-NIR reversible electrochromism is demonstrated by the TPA-integrated DSB (6). The colour of 6 changes from pristine light yellow to orange, and the absorption maxima shifts from 372 to 1500 nm when a positive potential of 1.0 V vs Ag/Ag+ is applied. Moreover, the system shows high colouration efficiency in the NIR region with fast switching speeds for colouration and decolouration as fast as 0.98 s and 1.05 s.

Abstract
We propose a noncovalent backbone planarization strategy to fabricate a gas/phototheranostic nanocomposite (B-E-NO NPs) in the near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window by incorporating noncovalent conformational locks. B-E-NO NPs display a giant NIR-II extinction coefficient, realizing multimodal imaging-guided high-efficiency NIR-II photothermal therapy (η = 45.4%) and thermal-initiated nitric oxide combination therapy.

Abstract
We here disclose that the incorporation of thiophene rings into a seven-membered 8π azepine in a fused fashion produces a useful antiaromatic core for near-infrared (NIR) dyes. In contrast to dibenzazepine derivatives with bent structures, dithieno-fused derivatives with electron-accepting groups adopt flat conformations in the ground state. The dithieno-fused derivatives exhibited broad absorption spectra that cover the visible region as well as sharp emission bands in the NIR region, which are considerably red-shifted relative to those of the dibenzo-fused congeners. Theoretical study revealed two contradictory effects of the less-aromatic thiophene-fused structure, i.e., the enhancement of the antiaromaticity of the adjacent azepine ring and the relief of the antiaromaticity through the contribution of a quinoidal resonance form. The combination of the dithienoazepine core with cationic electron-accepting groups produced a NIR fluorescent dye with an emission at 878 nm in solution.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) suffer from the low external electroluminescence (EL) quantum efficiency (EQE), which is a critical obstacle for potential applications. Herein, 1-oxo-1-phenalene-2,3-dicarbonitrile (OPDC) is employed as an electron-withdrawing aromatic ring, and by incorporating with triphenylamine (TPA) and biphenylphenylamine (BBPA) donors, two novel NIR emitters with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) characteristics, namely OPDC-DTPA and OPDC-DBBPA, are first developed and compared in parallel. Intense NIR emission peaks at 962 and 1003 nm are observed in their pure films, respectively. Contributed by the local excited (LE) characteristics in the triplet (T1 ) state in synergy with the charge transfer (CT) characteristics for the singlet (S1 ) state to activate TADF emission, the solution processable doped NIR OLEDs based on OPDC-DTPA and OPDC-DBBPA yield EL peaks at 834 and 906 nm, accompanied with maximum EQEs of 0.457 and 0.103 %, respectively, representing the state-of-the-art EL performances in the TADF emitter-based NIR-OLEDs in the similar EL emission regions so far. This work manifests a simple and effective strategy for the development of NIR TADF emitters with long wavelength and efficiency synchronously.

Abstract
One of the key challenges facing organic photodiodes (OPDs) is increasing the detection into the infrared region. Organic semiconductor polymers provide a platform for tuning the bandgap and optoelectronic response to go beyond the traditional 1000-nanometer benchmark. In this work, we present a near-infrared (NIR) polymer with absorption up to 1500 nanometers. The polymer-based OPD delivers a high specific detectivity D* of 1.03 × 1010 Jones (-2 volts) at 1200 nanometers and a dark current Jd of just 2.3 × 10-6 ampere per square centimeter at -2 volts. We demonstrate a strong improvement of all OPD metrics in the NIR region compared to previously reported NIR OPD due to the enhanced crystallinity and optimized energy alignment, which leads to reduced charge recombination. The high D* value in the 1100-to-1300-nanometer region is particularly promising for biosensing applications. We demonstrate the OPD as a pulse oximeter under NIR illumination, delivering heart rate and blood oxygen saturation readings in real time without signal amplification.

Abstract
The development of near-infrared organic photodetectors (NIR-OPDs) in 1000-1700 nm is essential for medical monitoring, food quality inspection, machine vision, and biomedical imaging. However, when solving the high dark current density (JD) in bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) NIR-OPDs based on narrow-bandgap systems, it is often accompanied by photocurrent loss, which is a great challenge in achieving high-performance NIR-OPDs. Here, an ideal hybrid pseudo-PHJ (planar-heterojunction)/BHJ structure is proposed to overcome this challenge, which is introducing the N2200 layer between the cathode and BHJ. The introduction of the N2200 raises the external charge injection barrier and reduces the trap density, thus achieving significant suppression of JD (6.22 × 10-7 A cm-2 at -0.2 V bias, about 2 orders of magnitude lower compared to the BHJ NIR-OPDs). Meanwhile, the hybrid structure combines the advantages of PHJ and BHJ, thus maintaining a high photocurrent, resulting in responsivity and detectivity of 18.71 mA W-1 and 4.19 × 1010 Jones, respectively, at 1400 nm at -0.2 V bias, which is superior to the performance of BHJ NIR-OPDs. And the hybrid structured NIR-OPDs are proven to rapidly quantify the alcohol content of mixtures to within 2% accuracy, which exhibits great potential for application in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
This paper describes syntheses, photophysical properties, and electrochemical characteristics of three thieno[3,4-b]thiophene (TT)-based quinoidal oligomers OnTTO. The rigid planar backbones of these oligomers give the molecules narrow absorption bands, and the main absorption bands were significantly red-shifted when the TT units were extended and demonstrated wide transparent windows. The compound O4TTO was found to possess strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region approaching 1200 nm but remained transparent in the visible region. Electrochemical experiments have shown that the energy band gaps gradually narrow when the TT units are increased. Optical properties predicted by density functional theory calculations are in good agreement with the experimental optical results. These dye molecules could be promising candidates for future NIR photodetectors, filters, and bioimaging technologies.

Abstract
A family of tunable halochromic switches is developed using a naphthalimide-fused dipyrrin as the core π-conjugated motif. Electronic properties of these dipyrrins are tuned by substitution of their alpha and meso positions with aryl groups of variable donor-acceptor strength. The first protonation results in a conformational change that enhances electronic coupling between the dipyrrin chromophore and the meso substituent, leading to halochromic effects that occasionally exceed 200 nm and switch the absorption between the near-infrared (NIR)-I and NIR-II ranges. A NIR-II photothermal effect, switchable by acid-base chemistry is demonstrated for selected dipyrrins. Further protonation is possible for derivatives bearing additional amino groups, leading to up to four halochromic switching step. The most electron-rich dipyrrins are also susceptible to chemical oxidation, yielding NIR-absorbing radical cations and closed-shell dications.

Abstract
Reducing the dark current density and enhancing the overall performance of the device is the focal point in research for organic photodetectors. Two novel random terpolymers (P3 and P4) with different molecular weights are synthesized and evaluated as acceptors in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) polymer photodetectors. Compared with known acceptor materials, such as N2200 (P1) and F-N2200 (P2), polymer P4 has a lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level, favorable morphology, and good miscibility with a donor material J71, which leads to proper phase separation of the blend film and better dissociation of excitons and transport of carriers. Therefore, a considerably low dark current density (Jd) of 1.9 × 10-10 A/cm2 and a high specific detectivity (D*) of 1.8 × 1013 cm Hz1/2/W (also "Jones") at 580 nm under a -0.1 V bias are realized for the P4-based photodetector. More importantly, the device also exhibits a fast response speed (τr/τf = 1.24/1.87 μs) and a wide linear dynamic range (LDR) of 109.2 dB. This work demonstrates that high-performance all-polymer photodetectors with ideal morphology can be realized by random polymer acceptors with a fine-tuned molecular weight.

Abstract
Broad-band near-infrared (NIR) phosphors are essential to assembling portable NIR light sources for applications in spectroscopy technology. However, developing inexpensive, efficient, and thermally stable broad-band NIR phosphors remains a significant challenge. In this work, a phosphate, KAlP2O7, with a wide band gap and suitable electronic environment for Cr3+ equivalent substitution was selected as the host material. The synthesized KAlP2O7:Cr3+ material exhibits a broad-band emission covering 650-1100 nm with a peak centered at 790 nm and a full width at half-maximum (fwhm) of 120 nm under 450 nm excitation. The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) was determined to be 78.9%, and the emission intensity at 423 K still maintains 77% of that at room temperature, implying the high efficiency and excellent thermal stability of this material. Finally, a NIR phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) device was fabricated by using the as-prepared material combined with a 450 nm blue LED chip, which presents a high NIR output power of 32.1 mW and excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency of 11.4% under a drive current of 100 mA. Thus, this work not only provides an inexpensive broad-band NIR material with high performance for applications in NIR pc-LEDs but also highlights some strategies to explore this class of materials.

Abstract
Low-bandgap organic semiconductors have attracted much attention for their multiple applications in optoelectronics. However, the realization of narrow bandgap is challenging particularly for small molecules. Herein, we have synthesized four quinoidal compounds, i. e., QSN3, QSN4, QSN5 and QSN6, with electron rich S,N-heteroacene as the quinoidal core and indandione as the end-groups. The optical bandgap of the quinoidal compounds is systematically decreased with the extension of quinoidal skeleton, while maintaining stable closed-shell ground state. QSN6 absorbs an intense absorption in the first and second near-infrared region in the solid state, and has extremely low optical bandgap of 0.74 eV. Cyclic voltammetry analyses reveal that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of the four quinoidal compounds all lie below -4.1 eV, resulting in good electron-transporting characteristics in organic thin-film transistors. These results demonstrated that the combination of π-extended quinoidal core and end-groups in quinoidal compounds is an effective strategy for the synthesis of low-bandgap small molecules with good stability.

Abstract
The energy difference between singlet and triplet excitons, or ΔEST, is a key parameter for novel light-emission mechanisms (i.e., TADF or thermally activated delayed fluorescence) or other photoactivated processes. We have studied a set of conjugated molecules (peri-acenoacenes and their heteroatom-doped analogues) to observe the evolution of their excited-state properties upon increasing the system size with and without substitution with a pair of N atoms. Since these molecules exhibit a (ground-state) diradicaloid character, together with marked correlation effects influencing the excited-states formed, we have applied a variety of theoretical methods (FT-DFT, TD-DFT, SF-TD-DFT, CIS, CIS(D), SCS-CC2, SA-CASSCF, and SC-NEVPT2) to bracket the accuracy of the results while concomitantly providing insights into electronic structure. The results show how this chemical strategy (N-doping) largely modifies not only the excited-state energies but also the oscillator strengths and the ΔEST values, constituting versatile platforms for fine-tuned photophysical applications.

Shortwave infrared-absorbing squaraine dyes for all-organic optical upconversion devices. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2021; 22:194-204.

Abstract
Shortwave infrared (SWIR) optical sensing and imaging are essential to an increasing number of next-generation applications in communications, process control or medical imaging. An all-organic SWIR upconversion device (OUC) consists of an organic SWIR sensitive photodetector (PD) and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), connected in series. OUCs directly convert SWIR to visible photons, which potentially provides a low-cost alternative to the current inorganic compound-based SWIR imaging technology. For OUC applications, only few organic materials have been reported with peak absorption past 1000 nm and simultaneous small absorption in the visible. Here, we synthesized a series of thermally stable high-extinction coefficient donor-substituted benz[cd]indole-capped SWIR squaraine dyes. First, we coupled the phenyl-, carbazole-, and thienyl-substituted benz[cd]indoles with squaric acid (to obtain the SQ dye family). We then combined these donors with the dicyanomethylene-substituted squaraine acceptor unit, to obtain the dicyanomethylene-functionalized squaraine DCSQ family. In the solid state, the absorbance of all dyes extended considerably beyond 1100 nm. For the carbazole- and thienyl-substituted DCSQ dyes, even the peak absorptions in solution were in the SWIR, at 1008 nm and 1014 nm. We fabricated DCSQ PDs with an external photon-to-current efficiency over 30%. We then combined the PD with a fluorescent OLED and fabricated long-term stable OUCs with peak sensitivity at 1020 nm, extending to beyond 1200 nm. Our OUCs are characterized by a very low dark luminance (<10-2 cd m-2 at below 6 V) in the absence of SWIR light, and a low turn-on voltage of 2 V when SWIR light is present.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule overexpressed in many diseases, thus the development of NO-activatable probes is of vital significance for monitoring related diseases. However, sensitive photoacoustic (PA) probes for detecting NO-associated complicated diseases (e.g., encephalitis), have yet to be developed. Herein, we report a NO-activated PA probe for in vivo detection of encephalitis by tuning the molecular geometry and energy transformation processes. A strong donor-acceptor structure with increased conjugation can be obtained after NO treatment, along with the active intramolecular motion, significantly boosting "turn-on" near-infrared PA property. The molecular probe exhibits high specificity and sensitivity towards NO over interfering reactive species. The probe is capable of detecting and differentiating encephalitis in different severities with high spatiotemporal resolution. This work will inspire more insights into the development of high-performing activatable PA probes for advanced diagnosis by making full use of intramolecular motion and energy transformation processes.

Abstract
Donor–acceptor–donor conjugates composed of electron-donating carbon-bridged styrylstilbene (COPV2) and electron-accepting thiadiazole derivatives equipped with carbazolyl (Cz) terminators, Cz-COPV2-A-COPV2-Cz (A = benzothiadiazole (BTz), naphthobis(thiadiazole) (NTz), or benzobis(thiadiazole) (BBTz)), were newly synthesized and found to serve as efficient and stable long-wavelength photoluminescent dyes in organic and aqueous media. In particular, Cz-COPV2-BBTz-COPV2-Cz showed photoluminescence in the near infrared region (895–927 nm) with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of up to 0.19 in cyclohexane and of 0.02–0.03 in THF/water mixtures. Its analogues with weaker acceptors, Cz-COPV2-BTz-COPV2-Cz and Cz-COPV2-NTz-COPV2-Cz, showed yellow to deep-red emission in organic solvents, with PLQYs of up to 0.71 in organic solvents and 0.45 in THF/water mixtures. Efficient long-wavelength visible to NIR-emitting materials have been synthesized by use of rigid planar styrylstilbene as a donor component.![]()

Abstract
Computational studies were performed on non-classical thieno[3,4-c][1,2,5] thiadiazole and its pi donor derivatives (TT dyes) so as to delineate the factors responsible for their near-infrared (NIR) absorption. For all dyes except the unsubstituted bare dye, adiabatic singlet-triplet energy gaps (estimated through the ΔSCF procedure using the B3LYP and M062X DFT methods and SFTDDFT with the 5050 functional) were less than 1eV. Percentage calculations of the biradicaloid character suggested a moderate biradicaloid nature in all derivatives. There was a resemblance between the frontier molecular orbital (MO) picture of the TT bicyclic ring and the degenerate non-bonding molecular orbitals of Trimethyleneethane (TME, a known biradical). Inter-fragment charge transfer analysis revealed not only a considerable donation of charge to the central ring (Acceptor, TT part) but also substantial charge redistribution within the ring itself. From these results, it was inferred that NIR absorption, in these dyes, was due to: (1) a reduced HOMO-LUMO gap (HLG) as a TME biradical substructure forms its chromophoric part; and (2) charge transfer from the donor substituents. The non-bonding nature of the S atom, in the bare dye, with its neighbouring N/C atom (of the highest occupied π-MOs), led to an examination of its electronic structure using the ab initio valence bond method. The relatively large weight and energetic stability of the biradicaloid VB structures compared to those of the ylidic structures clearly disclosed the importance of biradicaloid structures in the overall resonance of the bare dye. Their utility as singlet fission materials was screened using singlet and triplet energy-based molecular structure activity criteria. The results were encouraging, demanding experiments to reaffirm the materials' usefulness.

Abstract
Substituted 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) is a widely used electron acceptor unit for functional organic semiconductors. Difluorination or annulation on the 5,6-position of the benzene ring is among the most adapted chemical modifications to tune the electronic properties, though each sees its own limitations in regulating the frontier orbital levels. Herein, a hitherto unreported 5,6-annulated BTD acceptor, denoted as ssBTD, is designed and synthesized by incorporating an electron-withdrawing 2-(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)malononitrile moiety via aromatic nucleophilic substitution of the 5,6-difluoroBTD (ffBTD) precursor. Unlike the other reported BTD annulation strategies, this modification leads to the simultaneous decrease in both frontier orbital energies, a welcoming feature for photovoltaic applications. Incorporation of ssBTD into conjugated polymers results in materials boasting broad light absorption, dramatic solvatochromic and thermochromic responses (>100 nm shift and a band gap difference of ∼0.28 eV), and improved crystallinity in the solid state. Such physical properties are in accordance with the combined electron-withdrawing effect and significantly increased polarity associated with the ssBTD unit, as revealed by detailed theoretical studies. Furthermore, the thiolated ssBTD imbues the polymer with ambipolar charge transport property, in contrast to the ffBTD-based polymer, which transports holes only. While the low mobilities (10-4 to 10-5 cm2 V-1 s-1) could be further optimized, detailed studies validate that the thioannulated BTD is a versatile electron-accepting unit for the design of functional stimuli-responsive optoelectronic materials.

Abstract
Chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) are emerging as critical infrared (IR)-enabled materials in advanced IR optical systems by the wealth of their transparency in the key wide infrared (IR) transmission window. However, fabrication of ChG-based integrated micro-optical components in an efficient and economical way remains a huge challenge. In this paper, a 3D close-packed hexagonal microlens array (MLA) possessing over 6000 convex hexagonal micro-lenslets with the size of tens of micrometers within a footprint of 10 mm × 10 mm on a Ge20Sb15Se65 ChG surface was successfully fabricated via a precise thermal-mechanical molding process. The master mold of ChG MLA was firstly fabricated by a femtosecond laser-assisted chemical etching process and then transferred on to the surface of the ChG via a precision thermo-mechanical molding process, which resulted in a convex MLA. The morphology, imaging and focusing performances of the as-prepared ChG MLA were investigated and demonstrated the advancement of the method. Meanwhile, the IR transmittance and x-ray diffraction image of the ChG MLAs were measured to verify the structural and compositional stability of the ChG under the given molding conditions. The combined results proved a new route to mass production of miniaturized gapless ChG MLAs for advanced infrared micro-optics.

Abstract
Dyes with nonlinear optical (NLO) properties enable new imaging techniques and photonic systems. We have developed a dye (DANPY-1) for photonics applications in biological substrates such as nucleic acids; however, the design specification also enables it to be used for visualizing biomolecules. It is a prototype dye demonstrating a water-soluble, NLO-active fluorophore with high photostability, a large Stokes shift, and a favorable toxicity profile. A practical and scalable synthetic route to DANPY salts has been optimized featuring: (1) convergent Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling with pyridine 4-boronic acid, (2) site-selective pyridyl N-methylation, and (3) direct recovery of crystalline intermediates without chromatography. We characterize the optical properties, biocompatibility, and biological staining behavior of DANPY-1. In addition to stability and solubility across a range of polar media, the DANPY-1 chromophore shows a first hyperpolarizability similar to common NLO dyes such as Disperse Red 1 and DAST, a large two-photon absorption cross section for its size, substantial affinity to nucleic acids in vitro, an ability to stain a variety of cellular components, and strong sensitivity of its fluorescence properties to its dielectric environment.

Abstract
The facile tuning of near-infrared absorption of manganese(iii) phthalocyanines was accomplished by changing the nature and number of bound axial ligands. For a series of axial ligands on manganese α-octabutoxyphthalocyanine and α-octakis-(isopropylthio)phthalocyanine, the electron density on the metal and its displacement from the Pc-ring plane both control the position of the complex's Q-band. For these two macrocycles, this strong absorption band could be tuned over a λmax range of 815-948 nm by axial ligand exchange.

Abstract
Two star-shaped multi-triphenylamine derivatives 1 and 2 were prepared, where 2 has an additional phenyl unit between a pyrene core and surrounding triphenylamine units. The oxidative electropolymerization of 1 and 2 occurred smoothly to give thin films of polymers P1 and P2. The electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of P1 and P2 were examined, showing two-step absorption spectral changes in the near-infrared region. The electrochromic properties, including contrast ratio, response time, and cyclic stability of P1 and P2 were investigated and compared. Thin film of P2 displays slightly better electrochromic performance than P1, with a contrast ratio of 45% at 1475 nm being achieved.

Abstract
Second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) fluorescence bioimaging has attracted tremendous scientific interest and already been used in many biomedical studies. However, reports on organic NIR-II fluorescent probes for in vivo photoinduced imaging and simultaneous therapy, as well as the long-term tracing of specific biological objects, are still very rare. Herein we designed a single-molecular and NIR-II-emissive theranostic system by encapsulating a kind of aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen, named BPN-BBTD) with amphiphilic polymer. The ultra-stable BPN-BBTD nanoparticles were employed for the NIR-II fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy of bladder tumors in vivo. The 785 nm excitation triggered photothermal therapy could completely eradicate the subcutaneous tumor and inhibit the growth of orthotopic tumors. Furthermore, BPN-BBTD nanoparticles were capable of monitoring subcutaneous and orthotopic tumors for a long time (32 days). Single-molecular and NIR-II-emitted aggregation-induced emission nanoparticles hold potential for the diagnosis, precise treatment, and metastasis monitoring of tumors in the future.

Abstract
The rapid development of healthcare techniques encourages the emergence of new molecular imaging agents and modalities. Fluorescence imaging that enables precise monitoring and detection of biological processes/diseases is extensively investigated as this imaging technique has strengths in terms of high sensitivity, excellent temporal resolution, low cost, and good safety. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have recently emerged as a new class of emitters that possess several notable features, such as high brightness, large Stokes shift, marked photostability, good biocompatibility, and so on. So far, AIEgens are widely explored and exhibit superb performance in the area of biomedicine and life sciences. Herein, this review summarizes and discusses the recent investigations of AIEgens for in vivo diagnosis and therapy including long-term tracking, 3D angiography, multimodality imaging, disease theranostics, and activatable sensing. Collectively, these results reveal that AIEgens are of great promise for in vivo biomedical applications. It is hoped that this review will lead to new insights into the development of advanced healthcare materials.

Abstract
We report three synthetic methods to prepare biocompatible Yb3+ complexes, which displayed high NIR luminescence with quantum yields up to 13% in aqueous media. This renders β-fluorinated Yb3+ porphyrinoids a new class of NIR probes for living cell imaging including time-resolved fluorescence lifetime imaging.
Herein, we report the design and synthesis of biocompatible Yb3+ complexes for near-infrared (NIR) living cell imaging. Upon excitation at either the visible (Soret band) or red region (Q band), these β-fluorinated Yb3+ complexes display high NIR luminescence (quantum yields up to 23% and 13% in dimethyl sulfoxide and water, respectively) and have higher stabilities and prolonged decay lifetimes (up to 249 μs) compared to the β-non-fluorinated counterparts. This renders the β-fluorinated Yb3+ complexes as a new class of biological optical probes in both steady-state imaging and time-resolved fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM). NIR confocal fluorescence images showed strong and specific intracellular Yb3+ luminescence signals when the biocompatible Yb3+ complexes were uptaken into the living cells. Importantly, FLIM measurements showed an intracellular lifetime distribution between 100 and 200 μs, allowing an effective discrimination from cell autofluorescence, and afforded high signal-to-noise ratios as firstly demonstrated in the NIR region. These results demonstrated the prospects of NIR lanthanide complexes as biological probes for NIR steady-state fluorescence and time-resolved fluorescence lifetime imaging.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing organic small molecules hold great promise as the phototheranostic agents for clinical translation by virtue of their intrinsic advantages such as well-defined chemical structure, high purity, and good reproducibility. However, most of the currently available ones face the challenges in varying degrees in terms of photothermal instability, and photobleaching/reactive oxygen nitrogen species (RONS) inresistance, which indeed impair their practical applications in precise diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Herein, we developed highly stable and biocompatible organic nanoparticles (ONPs) for effective phototheranostic application by design and synthesis of an organic small molecule (namely TPA-T-TQ) with intensive absorption in the NIR window. The TPA-T-TQ ONPs with no noticeable in vivo toxicity possess better capacities in photothermal conversion and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), as well as show far higher stabilities including thermal/photothermal stabilities, and photobleaching/RONS resistances, when compared with the clinically popularly used indocyanine green. Thanks to the combined merits, the ONPs can serve as an efficient probe for in vivo PAI in a high-contrast manner, which also significantly causes the stoppage of tumor growth in living mice through PAI-guided photothermal therapy. This study thus provides an insight into the development of advanced NIR-absorbing small molecules for practical phototheranostic applications.
