Abstract
Cypridina luciferin (CypL) is a marine natural product that functions as the luminous substrate for the enzyme Cypridina luciferase (CypLase). CypL has two enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-CypL, due to its one chiral center at the sec-butyl moiety. Previous studies reported that (S)-CypL or racemic CypL with CypLase produced light, but the luminescence of (R)-CypL with CypLase has not been investigated. Here, we examined the luminescence of (R)-CypL, which had undergone chiral separation from the enantiomeric mixture, with a recombinant CypLase. Our luminescence measurements demonstrated that (R)-CypL with CypLase produced light, indicating that (R)-CypL must be considered as the luminous substrate for CypLase, as in the case of (S)-CypL, rather than a competitive inhibitor for CypLase. Additionally, we found that the maximum luminescence intensity from the reaction of (R)-CypL with CypLase was approximately 10 fold lower than that of (S)-CypL with CypLase, but our kinetic analysis of CypLase showed that the Km value of CypLase for (R)-CypL was approximately 3 fold lower than that for (S)-CypL. Furthermore, the chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the reaction mixture of racemic CypL with CypLase showed that (R)-CypL was consumed more slowly than (S)-CypL. These results indicate that the turnover rate of CypLase for (R)-CypL was lower than that for (S)-CypL, which caused the less efficient luminescence of (R)-CypL with CypLase.

Abstract
Bioluminescence (BL) and chemiluminescence (CL) are remarkable processes in which light is emitted due to (bio)chemical reactions. These reactions have attracted significant attention for various applications, such as biosensing, bioimaging, and biomedicine. Some of the most relevant and well-studied BL/CL systems are that of marine imidazopyrazine-based compounds, among which Coelenterazine is a prime example. Understanding the mechanisms behind efficient chemiexcitation is essential for the optimization and development of practical applications for these systems. Here, the CL of a fluorinated Coelenterazine analog was studied using experimental and theoretical approaches to obtain insight into these processes. Experimental analysis revealed that CL is more efficient under basic conditions than under acidic ones, which could be attributed to the higher relative chemiexcitation efficiency of an anionic dioxetanone intermediate over a corresponding neutral species. However, theoretical calculations indicated that the reactions of both species are similarly associated with both electron and charge transfer processes, which are typically used to explain efficiency chemiexcitation. So, neither process appears to be able to explain the relative chemiexcitation efficiencies observed. In conclusion, this study provides further insight into the mechanisms behind the chemiexcitation of imidazopyrazinone-based systems.

Abstract
As light emitter of most marine organisms bioluminescence, coelenteramide (CLM) received much attention due to some exciting application in the field of bioinspired organic light-emitting devices (OLED). Nevertheless, native CLM only emit bright blue light. In order to obtain light of different colors, two CLM analogues, TPA-CLM and TPA-TP-CLM were designed by introduction of triphenylamine group and (thiophene) π-bridge. On the other hand, because the light emitter, CLM was produced by the chemical reaction which originates from the oxidation of bioluminescent substrate, coelenterazine (CLZ), it must be evaluated if and how substituent group tune the chemiluminescent (CL) reaction mechanism, firstly. In this article, the complete chemiluminescent reaction mechanism of TPA-CLZ and TPA-TP-CLZ and the photophysical properties of light emitters, TPA-CLM and TPA-TP-CLM were investigated by (time-dependent) density functional theory, (TD) DFT calculations. The calculations indicate that the introduction of triphenylamine and π-bridge minimally affect the complete reaction process. For the light emitters, TPA-CLM and TPA-TP-CLM, the calculation results indicate that the injection abilities of hole and electron can be largely improved by introduction of triphenylamine and π-bridge. The absorption and emission spectra appeared at longer wavelengths than native CLM. These results illustrate that TPA-CLM and TPA-TP-CLM are good candidates for bioinspired OLED application.

Abstract
Odontosyllis undecimdonta is a marine worm, commonly known as a fireworm, that exhibits bluish-green bioluminescence (BL). The luciferin (L) and oxyluciferin (OL) during fireworm BL have been experimentally identified in vitro. The L and OL are the respective starting point and ending point of a series of complicated chemical reactions in the BL. However, the chemical mechanism of the fireworm BL remains largely unknown. Before the experiments provided strong evidence for the mechanism, based on our previously successful studies on several bioluminescent systems, we theoretically proposed the chemical mechanism of the fireworm BL in this article. By means of the spin-flip and time-dependent density functional calculations, we clearly described the complete process from L to OL: under the catalysis of luciferase, L undergoes deprotonation and reacts with 3O2 to form a dioxetanone anion via the single-electron transfer mechanism; the dioxetanone anion decomposes into the OL at the first singlet excited state (S1) by the gradually reversible charge-transfer-induced luminescence mechanism; and the S1-OL emits light and deexcites to OL in the ground state.

Abstract
Optical three-dimensional (3D) molecular imaging is highly desirable for providing precise distribution of the target-of-interest in disease models. However, such 3D imaging is still far from wide applications in biomedical research; 3D brain optical molecular imaging, in particular, has rarely been reported. In this report, we designed chemiluminescence probes with high quantum yields, relatively long emission wavelengths, and high signal-to-noise ratios to fulfill the requirements for 3D brain imaging in vivo. With assistance from density-function theory (DFT) computation, we designed ADLumin-Xs by locking up the rotation of the double bond via fusing the furan ring to the phenyl ring. Our results showed that ADLumin-5 had a high quantum yield of chemiluminescence and could bind to amyloid beta (Aβ). Remarkably, ADLumin-5's radiance intensity in brain areas could reach 4 × 107 photon/s/cm2/sr, which is probably 100-fold higher than most chemiluminescence probes for in vivo imaging. Because of its strong emission, we demonstrated that ADLumin-5 could be used for in vivo 3D brain imaging in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Bioluminescence has been drawing broad attention due to its high signal-to-noise ratio and high bioluminescence quantum yields, which has been widely applied in the fields of biomedicine, bioanalysis, and so on. Among numerous bioluminescent substrates, coelenterazine is famous for its wide distribution. However, the oxygenation reaction mechanism of coelenterazine is far from being completely understood. In this paper, the formation and decomposition mechanisms of coelenterazine dioxetanone were investigated via density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (TD) DFT approaches. The results showed that the oxygenation reaction first occurred along the triplet-state potential energy surface (PES), after the intersystem crossing (ISC), second jumped to the diradical-state PES, and ultimately formed coelenterazine dioxetanone. For the decomposition mechanism of dioxetanone, the computational results showed that the chemiexcitation of neutral dioxetanone was more efficient than that of other dioxetanone species. Moreover, the diradical properties and the degree of ionic character are modified by the counter ions.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) utilizing chemiexcitation for energy transformation is one of the most highly sensitive and useful analytical techniques. The chemiexcitation is a chemical process of a ground-state reactant producing an excited-state product, in which a nonadiabatic event is facilitated by conical intersections (CIs), the specific molecular geometries where electronic states are degenerated. Cyclic peroxides, especially 1,2-dioxetane/dioxetanone derivatives, are the iconic chemiluminescent substances. In this Perspective, we concentrated on the CIs in the CL of cyclic peroxides. We first present a computational overview on the role of CIs between the ground (S0) state and the lowest singlet excited (S1) state in the thermolysis of cyclic peroxides. Subsequently, we discuss the role of the S0/S1 CI in the CL efficiency and point out misunderstandings in some theoretical studies on the singlet chemiexcitations of cyclic peroxides. Finally, we address the challenges and future prospects in theoretically calculating S0/S1 CIs and simulating the dynamics and chemiexcitation efficiency in the CL of cyclic peroxides.

Abstract
Chemi- and bioluminescence are remarkable light-emitting phenomena, in which thermal energy is converted into excitation energy due to a (bio)chemical reaction. Among a wide variety of chemi-/bioluminescent systems, one of the most well-known and studied systems is that of marine imidazopyrazinones, such as Coelenterazine and Cypridina luciferin. Due to the increasing usefulness of their chemi-/bioluminescent reactions in terms of imaging and sensing applications, among others, significant effort has been made over the years by researchers to develop new derivatives with enhanced properties. Herein, we report the synthesis and chemiluminescent characterization of a novel dibrominated Coelenterazine analog. This novel compound consistently showed superior luminescence, in terms of total light output and emission lifetime, to natural imidazopyrazinones and commercially available analogs in aprotic media, while being capable of yellow light emission. Finally, this new compound showed enhanced chemiluminescence in an aqueous solution when triggered by superoxide anion, showing potential to be used as a basis for optimized probes for reactive oxygen species. In conclusion, bromination of the imidazopyrazinone scaffold appears to be a suitable strategy for obtaining Coelenterazines with enhanced properties.

Abstract
The intramolecular chemiexcitation of high-energy peroxide intermediates, such as dioxetanones, is an essential step in different chemi- and bioluminescent reactions. Here, we employed the Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) methodology to evaluate if and how external stimuli tune the intramolecular chemiexcitation of model dioxetanones. More specifically, we evaluated whether the strategic placement of ionic species near a neutral dioxetanone model could tune its thermolysis and chemiexcitation profile. We found that these ionic species allow for the “dark” catalysis of the thermolysis reaction by reducing the activation barrier to values low enough to be compatible with efficient chemi- and bioluminescent reactions. Furthermore, while the inclusion of these species negatively affected the chemiexcitation profile compared with neutral dioxetanones, these profiles appear to be at least as efficient as anionic dioxetanones. Thus, our results demonstrated that the intramolecular chemiexcitation of neutral dioxetanones can be tuned by external stimuli in such a way that their activation barriers are decreased. Thus, these results could help to reconcile findings that neutral dioxetanones could be responsible for efficient chemi-/bioluminescence, while being typically associated with high activation parameters.

Abstract
Coelenterazine and other imidazopyrazinones are important bioluminescent substrates widespread in marine species and can be found in eight phyla of luminescent organisms. Light emission from these systems is caused by the formation and subsequent thermolysis of a dioxetanone intermediate, whose decomposition allows for efficient chemiexcitation to singlet excited states. Interestingly, some studies have also reported the involvement of unexpected dioxetane intermediates in the chemi- and bioluminescent reactions of Coelenterazine, albeit with little information on the underlying mechanisms of these new species. Herein, we have employed a theoretical approach based on density functional theory to study for the first time the thermolysis reaction and chemiexcitation profile of two Coelenterazine dioxetanes. We have found that the thermolysis reactions of these species are feasible but with relevant energetic differences. More importantly, we found that the singlet chemiexcitation profiles of these dioxetanes are significantly less efficient than the corresponding dioxetanones. Furthermore, we identified triplet chemiexcitation pathways for the Coelenterazine dioxetanes. Given this, the chemiexcitation of these dioxetanes should lead only to minimal luminescence. Thus, our theoretical investigation of these systems indicates that the thermolysis of these dioxetanes should only provide "dark" pathways for the formation of nonluminescent degradation products of the chemi- and bioluminescent reactions of Coelenterazine and other imidazopyrazinones.

Abstract
Among all bioluminescent organisms, the firefly is the most famous, with a high luminescent efficiency of 41%, which is widely used in the fields of biotechnology, biomedicine and so on. The entire bioluminescence (BL) process involves a series of complicated in-vivo chemical reactions. The BL is initiated by the enzymatic oxidation of luciferin (LH2). However, the mechanism of the efficient spin-forbidden oxygenation is far from being totally understood. Via MD simulation and QM/MM calculations, this article describes the complete process of oxygenation in real protein. The oxygenation of luciferin is initiated by a single electron transfer from the trivalent anionic LH2 (L3-) to O2 to form 1[L•2-…O2•-]; the entire reaction is carried out along the ground-state potential energy surface to produce the dioxetanone (FDO-) via three transition states and two intermediates. The low energy barriers of the oxygenation reaction and biradical annihilation involved in the reaction explain this spin-forbidden reaction with high efficiency. This study is helpful for understanding the BL initiation of fireflies and the other oxygen-dependent bioluminescent organisms.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence (CL) utilizing four-membered cyclic peroxides is one of the most useful analytical techniques. Up to now, the CL mechanisms for nonketone (1,2-dioxetanes) and monoketone (1,2-dioxetanones) derivatives of four-membered cyclic peroxides have been intensively studied experimentally and theoretically in the past several decades, but no general mechanism has been concluded to rationalize the origin of high-efficiency singlet chemiexcitation. In contrast, as the only diketone derivative of four-membered cyclic peroxide, the electron-transfer (ET)-catalyzed CL of 1,2-dioxetanedione (DDO), which is most suggested as a critical step in the well-known peroxyoxalate CL (POCL), has never been theoretically investigated and uncovered yet. In this work, we theoretically investigated the rubrene-catalyzed decomposition of DDO for the first time, with a hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical model and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulation. The computation shows a stepwise ET-catalyzed decomposition and three S0/S1 conical intersection (CI)-controlled singlet chemiexcitation. The three universal S0/S1 CIs play different roles in the high-efficiency singlet chemiexcitation in ET-catalyzed CL of DDO and should be the true origin of the high-efficiency singlet CL. We believe that the current work could not only provide a further understanding for high-efficiency singlet CL but also provide some general clues to designed new high-efficient CL systems.

Abstract
Different fungi lineages are known to emit light on Earth, mainly in tropical climates. Although the preparation of bioluminescent cell-free extracts allowed one to characterize the enzymatic requirements, the molecular mechanism underlying luminescence is still largely unknown and is based on the experimental putative assumption that a high-energy intermediate should be formed by reaction with O2 and formation of an endoperoxide. Here, we aim at determining, through state-of-the-art multiconfigurational quantum chemistry, the full mechanistic landscape leading from the endoperoxide to the emitting species, envisaging different possible pathways and proposing their viability. Especially, thermal CO2 detachment followed by excited-state peroxide opening (thermal-chemiluminescence) can compete with a parallel pathway, i.e., first excited-state endoperoxide opening, followed by CO2 detachment on the same excited-state (excited state-chemiluminescence). Clear differences in the energy supplies, as well as the possibility to directly populate the emitting species from the intersection seam between ground and excited states, land credence to a kinetically efficient thermal-chemiluminescent pathway, establishing for the first time a detailed description of fungal bioluminescence.

Abstract
The enzyme Cypridina luciferase (CLase) enables Cypridina luciferin to emit light efficiently through an oxidation reaction. The catalytic mechanism on the substrate of CLase has been studied, but the details remain to be clarified. Here, we examined the luminescence of Cypridina luciferin in the presence of several proteins with drug-binding ability. Luminescence measurements showed that the mixture of human plasma alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (hAGP) and Cypridina luciferin produced light. The total value of the luminescence intensity over 60 s was over 12.6-fold higher than those in the presence of ovalbumin, human serum albumin, or bovine serum albumin. In the presence of heat-treated hAGP, the luminescence intensity of Cypridina luciferin was lower than in the presence of intact hAGP. Chlorpromazine, which binds to hAGP, showed an inhibitory effect on the luminescence of Cypridina luciferin, both in the presence of hAGP and a recombinant CLase. Furthermore, BlastP analysis showed that hAGP had partial amino acid sequence similarity to known CLases in the region including amino acid residues involved in the drug-binding ability of hAGP. These findings indicate enzymological similarity between hAGP and CLase and provide insights into both the enzymological understanding of CLase and development of a luminescence detection method for hAGP.

Abstract
Calcium-regulated photoproteins are found in at least five phyla of organisms. The light emitted by those photoproteins can be tuned by mutating the photoprotein and/or by modifying the substrate coelenterazine (CTZ). Thirty years ago, Shimomura observed that the luminescence activity of aequorin was dramatically reduced when the substrate CTZ was replaced by its analog v-CTZ. The latter is formed by adding a phenyl ring to the π-conjugated moiety of CTZ. The decrease in luminescence activity has not been understood until now. In this paper, through combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics calculations as well as molecular dynamics simulations, we discovered the reason for this observation. Modification of the substrate changes the conformation of nearby aromatic residues and enhances the π-π stacking interactions between the conjugated moiety of v-CTZ and the residues, which weakens the charge transfer to form light emitter and leads to a lower luminescence activity. The microenvironments of CTZ in obelin and in aequorin are very similar, so we predicted that the luminescence activity of obelin will also dramatically decrease when CTZ is replaced by v-CTZ. This prediction has received strong evidence from currently theoretical calculations and has been verified by experiments.

Abstract
We analyzed the near-degenerate states of the firefly dioxetanone anion (FDO-) and its prototypes, especially in the biradical region, using multi-configurational approaches. The importance of utilizing full valence active spaces by means of density-matrix renormalization group self-consistent field (DMRG-SCF) calculations was described. Our results revealed that the neglect of some valence orbitals can affect the quantitative accuracy in later multi-reference calculations or the qualitative conclusion when optimizing conical intersections. Using all of the relevant valence orbitals of FDO-, we confirmed that there were two conical intersections, as reported in previous work, and that the intersecting states were changed when the active space was enlarged. Beyond these, we found that there were strong interactions between states in the biradical regions, in which the changes in entanglements can be used to visualize the interacting state evolution.

Abstract
A wide variety of marine bioluminescent organisms emit light via the excited-state coelenteramide, which is produced from the coelenterazine oxidation via a series of complicated chemical reactions in protein. Photoluminescence of coelenteramide is a simple way to produce light without experiencing the intricate reactions starting from coelenterazine. To extend the color range of light emission, many coelenterazine analogues were synthesized, but mostly only produce blue and cyan fluorescence. Based on the 42 synthesized coelenterazine analogues, we theoretically studied the absorption and fluorescence properties of the corresponding coelenteramide analogues. The electronic effect, steric effect, conjugated effect and solvated effect were considered. The results indicated that conjugated effect has great influence on the strength and wavelength of fluorescence and large electron transfer is beneficial to redshift. Based on the regularities, we theoretically designed six coelenteramide analogues, and together with the original coelenteramide, the seven-ones emit the seven colors of rainbow via their photoluminescences. This study expands the coelenteramide fluorescence to the whole visible light region and could inspire new application.

Abstract
Latia neritoides is a small limpet-like snail that produces a bright green bioluminescence (BL) via a unique light-emitting system. The process, mechanism, and even light emitter of its light emission remain unknown, although this BL has been known for decades. Unlike the other BL systems, neither the luciferin (Luc) nor the oxyluciferin (OxyLuc) of Latia is fluorescent according to the previous experiments. To help to identify its bioluminophore, we studied the geometrical and electronic structures and absorption and fluorescence spectra of Latia Luc and its six analogs as well as its OxyLuc in the gas phase and in water. The calculated results provide clear evidence of the lack of fluorescence in the Luc and OxyLuc of Latia. For the analogs of Latia Luc, the electron-withdrawing or electron-donating ability of the substituted group affects the fluorescence. The results shed new light on the BL mechanism and will likely aid the understanding of Latia BL.

Abstract
Bioluminescence is a phenomenon that has fascinated mankind for centuries. Today the phenomenon and its sibling, chemiluminescence, have impacted society with a number of useful applications in fields like analytical chemistry and medicine, just to mention two. In this review, a molecular-orbital perspective is adopted to explain the chemistry behind chemiexcitation in both chemi- and bioluminescence. First, the uncatalyzed thermal dissociation of 1,2-dioxetane is presented and analyzed to explain, for example, the preference for triplet excited product states and increased yield with larger nonreactive substituents. The catalyzed fragmentation reaction and related details are then exemplified with substituted 1,2-dioxetanone species. In particular, the preference for singlet excited product states in that case is explained. The review also examines the diversity of specific solutions both in Nature and in artificial systems and the difficulties in identifying the emitting species and unraveling the color modulation process. The related subject of excited-state chemistry without light absorption is finally discussed. The content of this review should be an inspiration to human design of new molecular systems expressing unique light-emitting properties. An appendix describing the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methods used to study the phenomena serves as a complement.

Abstract
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques as well as quantum-mechanical calculations were used to study the photophysics and photochemistry of a newly synthesized photoacid-the phenol cyanine picolinium salt. We found that the nonradiative rate constant k nr of the excited protonated form of the photoacid is larger than that of the excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) to the solvent, k ESPT. We estimate that the quantum efficiency of the ESPT process is about 0.16. The nonradiative process is explained by a partial trans-cis isomerization reaction, which leads to the formation of a "dark" excited state that can cross to the ground state by nonadiabatic coupling. Moreover, the ESPT process is coupled to the photo-isomerization reaction, as this latter reaction enhances the photoacidity of the studied compound, as a result of photoinduced charge transfer. To prevent trans-cis isomerization of the cyanine bridge, we conducted experiments of PCyP adsorbed on cellulose in the presence of water. We found that the steady-state fluorescence intensity increased by about a factor of 50 and the lifetime of the ROH band increased by the same factor. The fluorescence intensity of the RO- band with respect to that of the ROH band was the same as in aqueous solution. This explains why inhibiting the photo-isomerization reaction by adsorbing the PCyP on cellulose does not lead to a higher ESPT rate.

Abstract
Chemi-/bioluminescence are phenomena in which chemical energy is converted into electronically excited singlet states, which decay with light emission. Given this feature, along with high quantum yields and other beneficial characteristics, these systems have gained numerous applications in bioanalysis, in biomedicine, and in the pharmaceutical field. Singlet chemiexcitation is made possible by the formation of cyclic peroxides (as dioxetanones) as thermolysis provides a route for a ground state reaction to produce singlet excited states. However, such thermolysis can also lead to the formation of triplet states. While triplet states are not desired in the typical applications of chemi-/bioluminescence, the efficient production of such states can open the door for the use of these systems as sensitizers in photocatalysis and triplet-triplet annihilation, among other fields. Thus, the goal of this study is to assess the effect of heavy atom addition on the thermolysis and triplet chemiexcitation of a model dioxetanone. Monobromination does not affect the thermolysis reaction but can improve the efficiency of intersystem crossing, depending on the position of monobromination. Addition of bromine atoms to the triplet state reaction product has little effect on its properties, except on its electron affinity, in which monobromination can increase between 3.1 and 8.8 kcal mol−1.
