Abstract
Imaging and sensing of lipid droplets (LDs) attracted significant attention due to growing evidence for their important role in cell life. Solvatochromic dyes are promising tools to probe LDs' local polarity, but this analysis is biased by their non-negligible emission from intracellular membranes and capacity to emit from both the apolar core and polar interface of LDs. Here, we developed two push-pull solvatochromic dyes based on naphthalene and fluorene cores bearing an exceptionally strong electron acceptor, the trifluoroacetyl group. The latter was found to boost the optical properties of the dyes by shifting their absorption and emission to red and increasing their extinction coefficient, photostability, and sensitivity to solvent polarity (solvatochromism). In contrast to classical solvatochromic dyes, such as parent aldehydes and reference Nile Red, the new dyes exhibited strong fluorescence quenching by millimolar water concentrations in organic solvents. In live cells, the trifluoroacetyl dyes exhibited high specificity to LDs, whereas the parent aldehydes and Nile Red showed a detectable backgrounds from intracellular membranes. Experiments in model lipid membranes and nanoemulsion droplets confirmed the high selectivity of new probes to LDs in contrast to classical solvatochromic dyes. Moreover, the new probes were found to be selective to the LDs oil core, where they can sense lipid unsaturation and chain length. Their ratiometric imaging in cells revealed strong heterogeneity in polarity within LDs, which covered the range of polarities of unsaturated triglyceride oils, whereas Nile Red failed to properly estimate the local polarity of LDs. Finally, the probes revealed that LDs core polarity can be altered by fatty acid diets, which correlates with their chain length and unsaturation.

Abstract
Carrier proteins (CPs) play a fundamental role in the biosynthesis of fatty acids, polyketides, and non-ribosomal peptides, encompassing many medicinally and pharmacologically relevant compounds. Current approaches to analyze novel carrier-protein-dependent synthetic pathways are hampered by a lack of activity-based assays for natural product biosynthesis. To fill this gap, we turned to 3-methoxychromones, highly solvatochromic fluorescent molecules whose emission intensity and wavelength are heavily dependent on their immediate molecular environment. We have developed a solvatochromic carrier-protein-targeting probe which is able to selectively fluoresce when bound to a target carrier protein. Additionally, the probe displays distinct responses upon CP binding in carrier-protein-dependent synthases. This discerning approach demonstrates the design of solvatochromic fluorophores with the ability to identify biosynthetically active CP-enzyme interactions.

Abstract
The microenvironment is indispensable for functionality of various biomacromolecules, subcellular compartments, living cells, and organisms. In particular, physical properties within the biological microenvironment could exert profound effects on both the cellular physiology and pathology, with parameters including the polarity, viscosity, pH, and other relevant factors. There is a significant demand to directly visualize and quantitatively measure the fluctuation in the cellular microenvironment with spatiotemporal resolution. To satisfy this need, analytical methods based on fluorescence probes offer great opportunities due to the facile, sensitive, and dynamic detection that these molecules could enable in varying biological settings from in vitro samples to live animal models. Herein, we focus on various types of small molecule fluorescent probes for the detection and measurement of physical parameters of the microenvironment, including pH, polarity, viscosity, mechanical force, temperature, and electron potential. For each parameter, we primarily describe the chemical mechanisms underlying how physical properties are correlated with changes of various fluorescent signals. This review provides both an overview and a perspective for the development of small molecule fluorescent probes to visualize the dynamic changes in the cellular environment, to expand the knowledge for biological process, and to enrich diagnostic tools for human diseases.

Abstract
Considering the applications of fluorescent probes and the information they provide, their brightness of fluorescence and photostability are of paramount importance. However, in the case of steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy, the amount of information can be increased by the application of multi-channel probes, via a multi-band fluorophore introduced in the probe molecule. In most cases, the use of such a multi-band (or multi-channel) fluorophore can also be combined with the concomitant introduction of one or several analyte receptors. Most often, the design of ratiometric probes with multi-band fluorescence emission are based on phenomena such as photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) or excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Although ICT probes were up to recently the most popular, ESIPT probes and among them 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives, were shown to be the most productive. Several general problems were resolved by this family of probes, as for example the measurement of local dielectric constant, local H-bond accepting ability, water local concentration and ATP concentration in small volumes. Incorporation of such multi-channel probes into lipid membranes allowed to measure the different membrane potentials and to detect cell apoptosis. Also, it enabled to recognize and characterize the rafts formation in different lipid bilayers and peculiar features of the charged membrane interface. Such probes are also able to provide a concentration-dependent fluorescence signals upon binding of H+, Mg2+and Ba2+ions, and thus to recognize these different cations. The multi-channel probes are effective tools in the study of interactions of macromolecules such as peptides, proteins and nucleic acids. The most useful feature is that they inform simultaneously about several physical parameters, in this way giving a better insight in the investigated system. Thus, by comparing the reviewed probes with other modern fluorescent approaches, it can be concluded they are more informative and accurate tools.

Abstract
Citric acid, an important metabolite with abundant reactive groups, has been demonstrated as a promising starting material to synthesize diverse photoluminescent materials including small molecules, polymers, and carbon dots. The unique citrate chemistry enables the development of a series of citric acid-based molecules and nanomaterials with intriguing intrinsic band-shifting behavior, where the emission wavelength shifts as the excitation wavelength increases, ideal for chromatic imaging and many other applications. In this review, we discuss the concept of "intrinsic band-shifting photoluminescent materials", introduce the recent advances in citric acid-based intrinsic band-shifting materials, and discuss their potential applications such as chromatic imaging and multimodal sensing. It is our hope that the insightful and forward-thinking discussion in this review will spur the innovation and applications of the unique band-shifting photoluminescent materials.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have potential applications in many fields such as light-emitting devices, photocatalysis, and bioimaging due to their unique photoluminescence (PL) properties and environmental benignness. Here, we report the synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) from citric acid and m-phenylenediamine using a one-pot hydrothermal approach. The environment-dependent emission changes of NCQDs were extensively investigated in various solvents, in the solid state, and in physically assembled PMMA-PnBA-PMMA copolymer gels in 2-ethyl-hexanol. NCQDs display bright emissions in various solvents as well as in the solid state. These NCQDs exhibit multicolor PL emission across the visible region upon changing the environment (solutions and polymer matrices). NCQDs also exhibit excitation-dependent PL and solvatochromism, which have not been frequently investigated in CQDs. Most CQDs are nonemissive in the aggregated or solid state due to the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, limiting their solid-state applications. However, NCQDs synthesized here display a strong solid-state emission centered at 568 nm attributed to the presence of surface functional groups that restrict the π-π interaction between the NCQDs and assist in overcoming the ACQ effect in the solid state. NCQD-containing gels display significant fluorescence enhancement in comparison to the NCQDs in 2-ethyl hexanol, likely because of the interaction between the polar PMMA blocks and NCQDs. The application of NCQDs-Gel as a solid/gel state fluorescent display has been presented. This research facilitates the development of large-scale, low-cost multicolor phosphor for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices, sensing, and bioimaging applications.

Abstract
Deterioration of protein homeostasis (proteostasis) often induces aberrant proteome aggregation. Visualization and dissection of the stressed proteome are of particular interest given their association with numerous degenerative diseases. Recent progress in chemical cellular stress sensors allows for direct visualization of aggregated proteome. Beyond its localization and morphology, the physicochemical nature and the dynamics of the aggregated proteome have been challenging to explore. Herein, we developed a series of solvatochromic fluorene-based D-π-A probes that can selectively and noncovalently bind to a misfolded and aggregated proteome and report on their compactness heterogeneity upon cellular stresses. We achieved this goal by variation of the heterocyclic acceptors to modulate their solvatochromism and binding affinity to amorphous aggregated proteins. The optimized sensor P6 was capable of sensing the polarity differences among different aggregated proteins via its fluorescence emission wavelength. In live cells, P6 revealed the cellular compactness heterogeneity in the aggregated proteome upon cellular stresses. Given the combinative solvatochromic and noncovalent properties, our probe can reversibly monitor the dynamic changes in the aggregated proteome compactness upon stress and after stress recovery, suggesting its potential applications in search of therapeutics to counteract disease-causing proteome stresses.

Abstract
The intensive research for hybridization probes based on organic molecules with fluorogenic properties is currently attracting particular attention due to their potential to efficiently recognize different DNA conformations and the local environment. However, most established organic chromophores do not meet the requirements of this task, as they do not exhibit good brightness in aqueous buffer media, develop aggregation and/or are not easily conjugated to oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) while keeping their photophysics intact. Herein, an important modification strategy was employed for a well-known fluorophore, 2-(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)-3-hydroxychromone (dEAF). Although this push–pull dye absorbs intensively in the visible range and shows emission with large Stokes shifts in all organic solvents, it is strongly quenched in water. This Achilles’ heel prompted us to implement a new strategy to obtain a series of dyes that retain all the photophysical features of dEAF in water, conjugate readily with oligonucleotides, and furthermore demonstrate sensitivity to hydration, thus paving the way for a high-performance fluorogenic DNA hybridization probe.

Abstract
![]()
An optical control
of many working optoelectronic systems (real-time
sensors, optical modulators, light amplifiers, or phase retarders)
giving efficient optical gain or remote signal modulation is currently
included as scientifically and industrially interesting. In here,
an oxazolone derivative as the multifunctional organic system is given
in this contribution. The molecule possesses a stilbene group and
an oxazolone heteroatomic ring, which implies effective refractive
index manipulation and multimode lasing action, respectively. The
light modulation is repeatable and stable, also in the hundreds of
Hz regime. On the other hand, the amplified optical signal can be
easily generated by an external optical pumping source. Thus, signal
control is fully available, as is read-in and read-out of the information
in real time. Furthermore, this third-order, nonlinear, optical phenomenon
using a third harmonic generation technique was also observed. We
discovered that only by changing the energy and time regime of the
supplied optical signal is the optical or nonlinear optical response
observed. Two heteroenergetic molecular states (trans (E) and cis (Z)) can efficiently operate in modern multifunctional optoelectronic
systems, which can provide and generate an optical signal. Such functionalities
are commonly used in all-optical photonic switchers and logic gates
and can be utilized in optical-core networks and computers.

Abstract
The construction of microenvironment-sensitive probes with good cell membrane-targetability can reveal the fundamental properties of cell membranes. Herein, two polarity-sensitive probes, termed MEMs were reported for the first time to specifically light up cancer cell membranes. Both probes were designed with tetrahydroquinoxaline coumarin amide as the fluorophore, and quaternary ammonium groups were appended to increase water solubility and target cell membranes. In vitro studies showed that the fluorescence of both probes displayed strong polarity dependence and had a wide linear range to polarity (Δf). MEMs also displayed excellent cell membrane targeting ability and could long-term light up cell membranes with red fluorescence and a wash-free process. More excitingly, MEMs could specifically light up cancer cell membranes, revealing that cancer cells might have lower cell membrane polarity than normal cells. In vivo studies showed that MEMs could also effectively distinguish tumors from normal tissues. Overall, this work has not only developed two polarity-sensitive probes with good cell membrane targetability, but also provided new insights and methods for an in-depth understanding of cancer cells and cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for point-of-care tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic methods that are fast, inexpensive, and operationally simple. Here, we report on a bright solvatochromic dye trehalose conjugate that specifically detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in minutes. 3-Hydroxychromone (3HC) dyes, known for having high fluorescence quantum yields, exhibit shifts in fluorescence intensity in response to changes in environmental polarity. We synthesized two analogs of 3HC-trehalose conjugates (3HC-2-Tre and 3HC-3-Tre) and determined that 3HC-3-Tre has exceptionally favorable properties for Mtb detection. 3HC-3-Tre-labeled mycobacterial cells displayed a 10-fold increase in fluorescence intensity compared to our previous reports on the dye 4,4-N,N-dimethylaminonapthalimide (DMN-Tre). Excitingly, we detected fluorescent Mtb cells within 10 min of probe treatment. Thus, 3HC-3-Tre permits rapid visualization of mycobacteria that ultimately could empower improved Mtb detection at the point-of-care in low-resource settings.

Abstract
Diverse models of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) have been proposed for interpreting the origin of the charge-transfer (CT) state in donor-acceptor (D-A) dyes. However, a large variety of fused-heterocyclic dyes containing a pseudo-aromatic ring in the rigid structure have shown to be incompatible with them. To approximate a solution within the ICT concept, we reported a novel ICT model called partially aromatized intramolecular charge transfer (PAICT). PAICT involves the generation of a CT state from an ICT that occurred within a pre-excited D-A fused-heterocyclic structure possessing a pseudo-aromatic or unstable aromatic ring as the acceptor moiety. The model was proposed from the multiple-emissive mesomeric D-A N1-aryl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridin-4(1H)-one, whose excited mesomeric states, which are defined by the aromatic and pseudo-aromatic forms of the pyrindin-4(1H)-one ring, led to a common partial aromatized CT state upon excitation via PAICT. The latter was supported through theoretical calculations on the excited mesomeric states, one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) excitation-emission measurements in different solvents, and the detection of three excited states by lifetime measurements upon 370 nm excitation. The existence of mesomerism was supposed from: (i) two overlapping bands at 370-390 (or 400-420 nm) in UV-vis spectra, (ii) the direct interaction between the pyridinic nitrogen of one molecule and the carbonylic oxygen of the other found in the solid state and, (iii) the detection of three excited states by lifetime measurements. The PAICT opens new perspectives for interpreting the charge-transfer phenomenon in fused-heterocyclic dyes, in particular, those containing a pseudo-aromatic or unstable aromatic ring as an acceptor moiety.

Abstract
The absorption and fluorescence spectra of synthesized 4-[5-(2,5-Dimethyl-pyrrol-1-yl)-[1, 3, 4] thiadiazol-2-ylsulfanylmethyl]-6-methoxy-chromen-2-one (DTYMC) compound were recorded in various solvents like acetone, acetonitrile, chloroform, dimethyl formamide (DMF),1,4-dioxane, ethanol, ethyl acetate, methanol, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) at room temperature in order to estimate the ground and excited state dipole moment. The ground state dipole moment (μg) and excited state dipole moment (μe) were calculated using solvatochromic shift method which involve equations proposed by Lippert, Bakshiev and Kawski-Chamma-Viallete. The results were signified that the excited state dipole moment is greater than the ground state dipole moment, which indicates the excited state is more polar than the ground state of the molecule. The bond angle between the ground state and excited state dipole moments were found to be 00, The change in dipole moment (∆μ) was calculated using microscopic solvent polarity parameter ([Formula: see text]). Further multiple linear regression analysis of Kamlet-Taft parameter, HOMO-LUMO energy were determined by cyclic voltammetry using phosphate buffer solution.

Abstract
Although the unique optical signaling properties of polydiacetylene (PDA) have been exploited in diverse bio-chemosensors, the practical application of most PDA sensor systems is limited by their instability in harsh environments and fluorescence signal weakness. Herein, a universal design principle for a highly stable PDA sensor system with a practical dual signaling capability is developed to detect cyanide (CN) ions, which are commonly found in drinking water. Effective metal intercalation and enhanced hydrophobic intermolecular interactions between PDA-metal supramolecules are used to construct highly stacked PDA-metal nanoplates that feature unusual optical stability upon exposure to strong acids, bases, organic solvents, and thermal/mechanical stresses, and can selectively detect CN anions, concomitantly undergoing a specific supramolecular structure change. To realize the practical dual signaling capability of the PDA sensor system, upconverting nanocrystals (UCNs) are incorporated into highly stacked PDA-metal nanoplates, and practical dual signaling (orthogonal changes in luminescence and visible color) is demonstrated using a portable detection system. The presented universal design principle is expected to be suitable for the development of other highly stable and selective PDA sensor systems with practical dual signaling capability.

Abstract
We report a single 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr+-Mes) as a solvatochromic sensor array for multicolor visual discrimination of solvents. The composite fluorescent response of Acr+-Mes to polarity, dispersed state, and lone-pair-π interactions produces different colors when it is dissolved in various solvents. The corresponding RGB values as sensing elements are extracted to create distinct fluorescence response patterns for each solvent. With the help of principal component analysis, common solvents, such as water (H2O), absolute ethanol (EtOH), acetonitrile (MeCN), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetone (CO(Me)2), dichloromethane (DCM), trichloromethane (TCM), tetrahydrofuran (THF), toluene (PhMe), and tetrachloromethane (CCl4), are successfully discriminated and identified with an accuracy of 100%. What's more, this sensor array can also discriminate binary solvent mixtures and quantitatively detect DMSO in organic and inorganic solvents.

Abstract
A new star-shaped small molecule BDPP-1 based on 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene as a core and diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) as rigid arms have been successfully designed and synthesized. The thermal stability, photophysical and electrochemical properties were explored. The synthesized star-shaped small molecule BDPP-1 exhibited excellent solubility, high thermal stability, broad and strong absorption, narrow band gap and appropriate molecular levels. Moreover, the photoinduced charge separation process between the synthesized donor and acceptor PC61BM was evaluated by the fluorescence quenching experiment, revealing that the donor material BDPP-1 possessed efficient photoinduced charge separation performance. These detailed investigations on the structure-property relationship of the novel star-shaped molecule revealed that BDPP-1 is a prospective candidate as a donor material for organic photovoltaic materials.

Abstract
Can polarity-sensitive fluorescent dyes monitor the response of live cells to fundamental stress conditions, such as deprivation from nutrition and oxidative stress? To address this question, we developed a push-pull dioxaborine probe (DXB-NIR) for biomembranes and lipid droplets featuring strong solvatochromism in the far-red to near-infrared region, high fluorescence brightness, photostability, and two-photon absorption cross section, reaching 13800 GM at 930 nm. In model membranes, DXB-NIR exhibits unprecedented 80 nm shift between liquid ordered and disordered membrane phases, allowing robust imaging of separated membrane microdomains. Two-color imaging of live cells with DXB-NIR enables polarity mapping in plasma membranes, endoplasmic reticulum, and lipid droplets, which reveals that starvation and oxidative stress produce an increase in the local polarity, and this change is different for each of the studied cell compartments. Thus, by pushing the limits of existing solvatochromic dyes, we introduce a concept of polarity mapping for monitoring the response of cells to stress.

They were extensively studied in various organic solvents for the "excited state intramolecular proton transfer" process, but seldom addressed in aqueous solution due to the poor water solubility. Herein, an amphiphilic molecule bearing 3-hydroxyflavone and oligo(ethylene oxide) (denoted as 3HF-EO) was designed and synthesized. Different from the fluorescence in organic solvents, 3HF-EO in aqueous solution showed a remarkable single fluorescence emission, which is ascribed to the fluorescence of its anionic species. We found that the fluorescence intensity could be efficiently tuned via host-guest complexation. α-CD has little effect on the emission, while β-CD and γ-CD lead to enhanced and reduced emissions of 3HF-EO, respectively. The 1H NMR and 2D NOESY NMR spectra indicate that α-CD barely had any interaction with 3HF-EO, while β-CD and γ-CD formed complexes with one and two 3HF-EO molecules, respectively. These results provide a sound explanation for the modulated fluorescence intensity.

Abstract
A set of different donor-π-acceptor compounds having dicyanovinyl as the acceptor and aryl moieties as donors were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation. The UV–visible absorption and fluorescence spectra were investigated in different solvents. The optical band gab energy (Eg) was linearly correlated with the Hammett resonance effect of the donor to reveal that the higher the value of Hammett resonance effect of a donor, the lower the Eg of the molecule. The photophysical data revealed that compounds M4–M6 are typical molecular rotors with fluorescence due to twisted intramolecular charge transfer. Compound M5 revealed the largest Stokes shift (11,089 cm−1) making it a useful fluorescent sensor for the changes of the microenvironment. The effect of substituents on the optical properties of donor-π-acceptor compounds having dicyanovinyl as the acceptor are studied using density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory (DFT/TD-DFT). The optical transitions are thoroughly examined to reveal the impact of subtituents on both absorption and fluorescence, mainly through the modification of the structure in the excited state. The theoretical results have shown that TD-DFT calculations, with a hybrid exchange–correlation and the long-range corrected density functional PBEPBE with a 6–311++G** basis set, was reasonably capable of predicting the excitation energies, the absorption and the emission spectra of these molecules.

Abstract
Fluorescent solvatochromic dyes and molecular rotors increase their popularity as fluorogenic probes for background-free detection of biomolecules in cellulo in no-wash conditions. Here, we introduce a push-pull boron-containing (dioxaborine) dye that presents unique spectroscopic behavior combining solvatochromism and molecular rotor properties. Indeed, in organic solvents, it shows strong red shifts in the absorption and fluorescence spectra upon increase in solvent polarity, typical for push-pull dyes. On the other hand, in polar solvents, where it probably undergoes Twisted Intramolecular Charge Transfer (TICT), the dye displays strong dependence of its quantum yield on solvent viscosity, in accordance to Förster-Hoffmann equation. In comparison to solvatochromic and molecular rotor dyes, dioxaborine derivative shows exceptional extinction coefficient (120,000 M-1 cm-1), high fluorescence quantum yields and red/far-red operating spectral range. It also displays much higher photostability in apolar media as compared to Nile Red, a fluorogenic dye of similar color. Its reactive carboxy derivative has been successfully grafted to carbetocin, a ligand of the oxytocin G protein-coupled receptor. This conjugate exhibits >1000-fold turn on between apolar 1,4-dioxane and water. It targets specifically the oxytocin receptor at the cell surface, which enables receptor imaging with excellent signal-to-background ratio (>130). We believe that presented push-pull dioxaborine dye opens a new page in the development of fluorogenic probes for bioimaging applications.

Abstract
Two extrinsic fluorescent probes, 3-(dimethylamino)-8,9,10,11-tetrahydro-7H-cyclohepta[a]naphthalen-7-one (1) and 7-(dimethylamino)-2,3-dihydrophenanthren-4(1H)-one (2), are used to probe the unfolding of human serum albumin by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). These probes respond separately to the polarity and H-bond-donating ability of their surroundings. Competitive binding experiments show that fluorophore 1 binds to site I (domain IIA) and 2 binds to site II (domain IIIA). The local acidity of 1 in site I is out of the sensing range of 1, whereas the local acidity of 2 in site II is calculated to be nearly zero on Catalan's solvent acidity index. Both probes show that the first two equivalents of bound SDS result in a decrease in the local polarity of the binding sites. Each subsequent equivalent of SDS gives rise to a dramatic increase in polarity until HSA is saturated with seven molecules of SDS at the end of the specific binding domain. Compound 2 experiences an increase of acidity of 0.10 on Catalan's solvent acidity index through seven equivalents of SDS, but the local acidity for 1 is still out of range. The increase in acidity experienced by 2 is greater than the increase in polarity. This result is consistent with greater exposure of the carbonyl group in 2, but not the bulk of 2, to the aqueous solvent in site II of the SDS-saturated HSA complex.

Abstract
Mitochondria, vital organelles existing in almost all eukaryotic cells, play a crucial role in energy metabolism and apoptosis of aerobic organisms. In this work, we report two new flavone-based fluorescent probes, MC-Mito1 and MC-Mito2, for monitoring mitochondria in living cells. These two probes exhibit remarkably low toxicity, good cell permeability, and high specificity; these probes complement the existing library of mitochondrial imaging agents. The new dyes give nearly no background fluorescence, and their application does not require tedious postwashing after cell staining. The appreciable tolerance of MC-Mito2 encourages a broader range of biological applications for understanding the cell degeneration and apoptosis mechanism.
