Abstract
Today, there is a very strong demand for versatile near-infrared (NIR) imaging agents suitable for non-invasive optical imaging in living organisms (in vivo imaging). Here, we created a family of NIR-emitting macromolecules that take advantage of the unique structure of dendrimers. In contrast to existing fluorescent dendrimers bearing fluorophores at their periphery or in their cavities, a NIR fluorescent structure is incorporated into the core of the dendrimer. Using the poly(amidoamine) dendrimer structure, we want to promote the biocompatibility of the NIR-emissive system and to have functional groups available at the periphery to obtain specific biological functionalities such as the ability to deliver drugs or for targeting a biological location. We report here the divergent synthesis and characterization by NMR and mass spectrometries of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers derived from the fluorescent NIR-emitting anthraquinone core (AQ-PAMAF). AQ-PAMAFs ranging from the generation -0.5 up to 3 were synthesized with a good level of control resulting in homogeneous and complete dendrimers. Absorption, excitation, and emission spectra, as well as quantum yields, of AQ-PAMAFs have been determined in aqueous solutions and compared with the corresponding properties of the AQ-core. It has been demonstrated that the absorption bands of AQ-PAMAFs range from UV to 750 nm while emission is observed in the range of 650-950 nm. Fluorescence macroscopy experiments confirmed that the NIR signal of AQ-PAMAFs can be detected with a satisfactory signal-to-noise ratio in aqueous solution, in blood, and through 1 mm thick tissue-mimicking phantom. The results show that our approach is highly promising for the design of an unprecedented generation of versatile NIR-emitting agents.

Abstract
Purely-organic clusterization-triggered emission (CTE) has displayed promising abilities in bioimaging, chemical sensing, and multicolor luminescence. However, it remains absent in the field of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) due to the difficulties in well-aligning the nonconventional luminogens. We report a case of CPL generated with CTE using the solid phase molecular self-assembly (SPMSA) of poly-L-lysine (PLL) and oleate ion (OL), that is, the macroscopic CPL supramolecular film self-assembled by the electrostatic complex of PLL/OL under mechanical pressure. Well-defined interface charge distribution, given by lamellar mesophases of OL ions, forces the PLL chains to fold regularly as a requirement of optimal electrostatic interactions. Further facilitated by hydrogen bonding, the through-space conjugation (TSC) of orderly aligned electron-rich O and N atoms leads to CTE-based CPL, which is capable of transferring energy to an acceptor via a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) process, making it possible to develop environmentally friendly and economic CPL from sustainable and renewable materials.

Abstract
Bimolecular photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from excited state CdTe quantum dot (QD*) to an electron deficient molecule 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) is studied in toluene. We observed two types of QD-DNT complex formations; (i) non-emissive complex, in which DNT is embedded deep inside the surface polymer layer of QD and (ii) emissive complex, in which DNT molecules are attached to QDs but approach to the QD core is shielded by polymer layer. Because of its non-emissive nature, the lifetime of QD is not affected by dark complex formation, though the steady-state emission is greatly quenched. However, emissive complex formation causes both, lifetime and steady-state emission quenching. In our fitting model, consideration of Poisson distribution of the attached quencher (DNT) molecules at QD surface enables a comprehensive fitting to our time resolved data. QD-DNT complex formation was confirmed by an isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) study. Fitting to the time resolved data using a stochastic kinetic model shows moderate increase (0.05 ns-1 to 0.072 ns-1 ) of intrinsic quenching rate with increasing the QD particle size (from ≈3.2 nm to ≈5.2 nm). Our fitting also reveals that the number of DNT molecules attached to a single QD increases from ≈0.1-0.2 to ≈1.2-1.7, as the DNT concentration is increased from ≈1 mm to 17.5 mm. Complex formation at higher quencher concentration assures that the observed PET kinetics is a thermodynamically controlled process where solvent diffusion has no role on it.

Abstract
Intrinsic, non-traditional fluorescence of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers that do not possess classical fluorophores has been attracting considerable interest for the last decade. Many hypotheses regarding the source of the fluorescence have appeared, but some of them are still disputable. In order to shed new light on the nature of the phenomenon, we applied quenchers that are normally used to study intrinsic fluorescence of proteins (i.e., KI, CsCl, and acrylamide). KI and acrylamide efficiently quenched steady state fluorescence of PAMAM G2, PAMAM G3, and PAMAM G4 dendrimers. Stern-Volmer plots exhibited a downward curvature that has been elucidated by heterogenous emission. We assume that there are two distinct fluorescent moieties in the dendrimer structure that are characterized by different accessibility to the quenchers.
