Water-solubility croconic acid-bisindole dye with morpholine ring for tumor NIRF/PA imaging and photothermal therapy activated by lysosome pH-response. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2023; 245:112748.

Abstract
A novel croconic acid-bisindole dye CR-630 with a morpholine ring showed good water-solubility and obvious lysosome-targeting. The protonation of the nitrogen atom in the indole and lysosome-targeting of morpholine ring let it exhibit stronger pH-responsive NIR/PA imaging and photothermal effect in the lysosome acidic microenvironment (pH 4.0-5.5) than in the tumor acidic microenvironment. In the animal study, compound CR-630 could NIRF/PA image in the tumor tissues in 1.5-2.0 h, effectively inhibit the growth of the tumor, and even ablate the tumor at the drug dose of 1 mg/kg. It also demonstrated good biosafety. This study gives a new idea to develop water-solubility organic dyes with lysosome targeting, stronger pH-responsive NIRF/PA imaging and PTT for breast cancer.

Abstract
Organic electrical gas sensors have been developed for many decades because of their high sensitivity and selectivity. However, their industrialization is severely hindered by their intrinsic humidity susceptibility and poor recovery. Conventional organic sensory materials can only operate at room temperature owing to their weak intermolecular interactions. Herein, we demonstrate using a croconate polymer (poly-4,4'-biphenylcroconate) that the "ion-in-conjugation" concept enables organic gas sensors to operate at 100 °C and 70 % relative humidity with almost complete recovery. The fabricated sensor had a parts-per-billion (ppb) detection limit for NO2 and showed the highest sensitivity (2526 ppm-1 at 40 ppb) of all reported NO2 chemiresistive sensors. Furthermore, charge transfer increased with temperature. Theoretical calculations and in situ FTIR spectra confirmed the ion-in-conjugation-inspired hydrogen bond as key for excellent sensitivity. A NO2 alarm system was assembled to demonstrate the feasibility of this sensor.

Abstract
Squaraines and croconaines are organic dyes characterized by intense absorption in the visible or near-infrared spectral regions with applications ranging from biology to material sciences. They are commonly synthesized by condensation reactions of oxocarbonic acids (squaric or croconic acid, respectively) with electron-rich aromatic compounds in high-boiling organic solvents. Here, a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally benign process was developed for the synthesis of indolenine-based squaraines and croconaines under solvent-free conditions. Protocols based on conventional thermal heating, mechanochemical milling, and IR-light activation were compared.

Abstract
In this work we demonstrated that the peripherical thioacetylation of a bithiophene–DPP molecule can greatly influence the solid-state properties triggering the formation of NIR emitting J-aggregates in both bithiophene–DPP films and nanoparticles. The morphology and the kinetic and thermal stability of the organic nanoparticles were also investigated. The peripherical thioacetylation of a bithiophene-DPP molecule can greatly influence the supramolecular aggregation triggering the formation of NIR emitting J-aggregates both in films and nanoparticles with high colloidal stability.![]()

Abstract
Croconaines are an emerging class of near-infrared dyes that are useful for various sensing, photothermal, optoelectronic, and photoacoustic applications. Previous work encapsulated a dumbbell-shaped croconaine dye whose structure contains two thiophene flanking units inside a tetralactam macrocycle and produced a croconaine rotaxane 1 with a narrow 824 nm absorption band. Herein, a new rotaxane 2 is reported that encapsulates a croconaine dye with two thienothiophene flanking units. The new croconaine rotaxane 2 exhibits a narrow 984 nm absorption band that is distinct from the 824 nm absorption of rotaxane 1. Photothermal heating experiments showed that an 830 nm diode laser selectively heats a solution containing rotaxane 1, with no heating of a solution containing rotaxane 2. Conversely, a 980 nm diode laser selectively heats a solution containing rotaxane 2, with no heating of a solution containing rotaxane 1. The new croconaine rotaxane 2 shows no fatigue after four cycles of laser heating and cooling.

Abstract
Croconaine dyes are appealing molecules synthesized via the condensation of croconic acid and reactive electron-donating aromatic or heterocyclic systems. Here, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) investigation of indolenine-based croconaines is presented for the first time. Archetype proton-transfer matrices, such as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) and α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), 9-aminoacridine (9AA) as the protonating/deprotonating matrix, and electron-transfer (ET) secondary-reaction matrices, such as 1,5-diaminonapthalene (DAN) and trans-2-[3-(4-t-butyl-phenyl)-2-methyl-2-propenylidene]malononitrile (DCTB), were investigated. DHB, CHCA, and 9AA generate a mix of odd-electron molecular ions and protonated, sodiated, and potassiated adducts. Among the ET matrices, DAN was found to be capable of directing the ionization process toward the exclusive formation of odd-electron molecular ions M+• without fragmentation. MALDI tandem MS provides useful structural characterization of croconaine dyes, thus making identification very straightforward for all investigated compounds. Interestingly the fragmentation of bromo-containing croconaines revealed, for the first time, the gas-phase formation of a bromime cation [Br]+.
