Abstract
An innovative design strategy of placing sulfur (S)-atoms within the pendant functional groups and at carbonyl positions in conventional perylenimide (PNI-O) has been demonstrated to investigate the condensed state structure-property relationship and potential photodynamic therapy (PDT) application. Incorporation of simply S-atoms at the peri-functionalized perylenimide (RPNI-O) leads to an aggregation-induced enhanced emission luminogen (AIEEgen), 2-hexyl-8-(thianthren-1-yl)-1H-benzo[5,10]anthra[2,1,9-def]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (API), which achieves a remarkable photoluminescence quantum yield (Φ PL) of 0.85 in aqueous environments and established novel AIE mechanisms. Additionally, substitution of the S-atom at the carbonyl position in RPNI-O leads to thioperylenimides (RPNI-S): 2-hexyl-8-phenyl-1H-benzo[5,10]anthra[2,1,9-def]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dithione (PPIS), 8-([2,2'-bithiophen]-5-yl)-2-hexyl-1H-benzo[5,10]anthra[2,1,9-def]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dithione (THPIS), and 2-hexyl-8-(thianthren-1-yl)-1H-benzo[5,10]anthra[2,1,9-def]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dithion (APIS), with distinct photophysical properties (enlarged spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Φ PL ≈ 0.00), and developed diverse potent photosensitizers (PSs). The present work provides a novel SOC enhancement mechanism via pronounced H-aggregation. Surprisingly, the lowest singlet oxygen quantum yield (Φ Δ) and theoretical calculation suggest the specific type-I PDT for RPNI-S. Interestingly, RPNI-S efficiently produces superoxide (O2˙-) due to its remarkably lower Gibbs free energy (ΔG) values (THPIS: -40.83 kcal mol-1). The non-toxic and heavy-atom free very specific thio-based PPIS and THPIS PSs showed selective and efficient PDT under normoxia, as a rare example.

Abstract
The emblematic perylenediimide (PDI) motif which was initially used as a simple dye has undergone incredible development in recent decades. The increasing power of synthetic organic chemistry has allowed it to decorate PDIs to achieve highly functional dyes. As these PDI derivatives combine thermal, chemical and photostability, with an additional high absorption coefficient and near-unity fluorescence quantum yield, they have been widely studied for applications in materials science, particularly in photovoltaics. Although PDIs have always been in the spotlight, their asymmetric counterparts, perylenemonoimide (PMI) analogues, are now experiencing a resurgence of interest with new efforts to create architectures with equally exciting properties. Namely, their exceptional fluorescence properties have recently been used to develop novel systems for applications in bioimaging, biosensing and photodynamic therapy. This review covers the state of the art in the synthesis, photophysical characterizations and recently reported applications demonstrating the versatility of these two sister PDI and PMI compounds. The objective is to show that after well-known applications in materials science, the emerging trends in the use of PDI- and PMI-based derivatives concern very specific biomedicinal applications including drug delivery, diagnostics and theranostics.

Abstract
Multimodal collaborative therapy has been recognized as one of the more effective means to eliminate tumors in the current biomedicine research field as compared with monotherapy. Among them, by taking advantage of its high-precision and controllability, phototherapy has become a mainstay of treatment. However, physical encapsulation of free photosensitive units within nanocarriers was one of the main implementations, which might inevitably result in the photosensitizer leakage and side effect. For this purpose, a kind of multifunctional integrated polyprodrug amphiphiles, P(PFO-IG-CPT)-PEG, were prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization from polymerizable pentadecafluorooctan monomers, indocyanine green monomers, reduction-responsive camptothecin monomers, and acid-responsive PEG based methacrylate monomers (GMA(-OH/-PEG)). The resultant copolymers could self-assemble into spherical nanoparticles in water, performing size-deformability in acidic conditions and subsequent disintegration in reduction environment as demonstrated by in vitro experiments. Furthermore, an enhanced CPT release ratio and rate from nanoparticles could be achieved by a NIR irradiation due to the hyperthermia induced by the covalently linked IG moieties. Not only that, because of the sufficient O2 content brought by PFO, the NIR light-triggered generation of 1O2 was also detected in cells. With the combination of CPT-guided chemotherapy as well as NIR light-guided photo-thermal and photodynamic therapies, fatal and irreversible damage to cancer cells was observed by cell experiments; the implanted tumor size in the mouse model was obviously shrunk upon receiving multimodal collaborative therapy. We speculate that such fabricated nanodiagnosis and treatment systems could meet the growing emergency for effective drug delivery, programmed and on-demand drug release, and multimodal integrated therapy.

Abstract
Light, as an external stimulus, has begun to engage a phenomenal role in the diverse field of science. Encouraged by recent progress from biology to materials chemistry, various light-responsive fluorescent probes have been developed. Herein, we present a 1,8-naphthalimide-based probe NIT-NO2 capable of releasing nitric oxide (NO) along with the formation of fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) upon exposure to near-visible UV light. By synthesizing the photoproduct NIT-OH, we unveiled that initially NIT-NO2 released NO and converted to NIT-OH, while prolonged irradiation led to the formation of FONs that is corroborated by the red-edge excitation shift as well as microscopic investigation. Finally, we have successfully applied NIT-NO2 and NIT-OH for specific labeling of lipid droplets and plasma membranes, respectively, and demonstrated the switching from lipid droplets to plasma membranes by using light as a stimulus. These two probes show unique imaging applications inside the cells depending on the polarity and hydrophobicity of the environment. This work paves a fascinating way for the generation of excitation-dependent FONs from a small organic fluorophore and highlights its potency as an exclusive imaging tool.

Abstract
The rich chemistry of solution-processable red and near-infrared (NIR) organic emitters has emerged as an attractive and progressive research field because of their particular applications in organic optoelectronics and bioimaging. Also, one can see that the research area of perylene monoimide-based red and NIR-emissive fluorophores is underexplored, which prompted us to design and synthesize three anthracene-conjugated PMI dyes exhibiting strong emission in the red and NIR window in solution. Three PMI-based fluorophores were synthesized via conjoining anthracene and donor moieties (-Ph, -N,N-PhNMe2) with a PMI core via an acetylene linkage at the peri-position, which helped to attain extensive electronic conjugation, which was reflected in red and NIR-emission in solution. The key molecular features to be highlighted here are: all three dyes are strongly emissive in solution, as unveiled by the excellent absolute fluorescence QYs; and they possess tuneable emission properties, guided by the donor strength and a profound Stokes shift (100-200 nm). The three fluorescent dyes demonstrated appreciable singlet-oxygen (1O2) sensitivity when photoirradiated with methylene blue (MB) in solution, showing a substantial blue-shift in emission in a ratiometric manner. Further, the treatment of dye-MB solution with α-tocopherol (1O2 scavenger) validated the presence of 1O2 as the only oxidizing species generated by MB in solution. Computational investigations gave insight into the twisting of donor moieties in their ground-state optimized geometries, the modulation of the FMO energy gap, and the thermodynamic feasibility of the 1O2 reaction. Finally, via taking advantage of the red and NIR-emission, we successfully utilized one of the fluorophores as a lipid-droplet marker for bioimaging in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide and its treatment remains very challenging. The effectiveness of cancer therapy significantly depends upon tumour-specific delivery of the drug. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems have been developed to avoid the side effects of the conventional chemotherapy. However, according to the most recent recommendations, future nanomedicine should be focused mainly on active targeting of nanocarriers based on ligand-receptor recognition, which may show better efficacy than passive targeting in human cancer therapy. Nevertheless, the efficacy of single-ligand nanomedicines is still limited due to the complexity of the tumour microenvironment. Thus, the NPs are improved toward an additional functionality, e.g., pH-sensitivity (advanced single-targeted NPs). Moreover, dual-targeted nanoparticles which contain two different types of targeting agents on the same drug delivery system are developed. The advanced single-targeted NPs and dual-targeted nanocarriers present superior properties related to cell selectivity, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity toward cancer cells than conventional drug, non-targeted systems and single-targeted systems without additional functionality. Folic acid and biotin are used as targeting ligands for cancer chemotherapy, since they are available, inexpensive, nontoxic, nonimmunogenic and easy to modify. These ligands are used in both, single- and dual-targeted systems although the latter are still a novel approach. This review presents the recent achievements in the development of single- or dual-targeted nanoparticles for anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Effective cancer therapy usually requires the assistance of well-designed drug carriers. In order to increase the drug accumulation to tumor tissue as well as to reduce the side effects of drug carriers, the hybrid drug delivery system (DDS) was developed by integrating folic acid (FA) and a metal-organic framework (MOF). The anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was preloaded into the MOF nanoparticles during the synthesis process of the MOF nanoparticles. After surface modification with FA, the resulting FA/MOF/DOX nanoparticles were capable of serving as a biocompatible osteosarcoma targeting a DDS to enhance the chemotherapy of osteosarcoma. The dynamic light scattering method revealed that the obtained FA/MOF/DOX nanoparticles were particles with a size around 100 nm. Moreover, FA/MOF/DOX nanoparticles could enhance the delivery efficacy of DOX into MG63 (human osteosarcoma) cells as compared to FA free nanoparticles (MOF/DOX), in which a folate receptor (FR) might be involved. It was worth mentioning that in vitro [methylthio tetrazole (MTT) study in the MG63 cells] and in vivo (anticancer study in the MG63 xenograft model) assays both revealed that FA/MOF/DOX nanoparticles possessed stronger anticancer capability than free DOX or MOF/DOX nanoparticles.

Abstract
Intraoperative image-guided surgery (IGS) has attracted extensive research interests in determination of tumor margins from surrounding normal tissues. Introduction of near infrared (NIR) fluorophores into IGS could significantly improve the in vivo imaging quality thus benefit IGS. Among the reported NIR fluorophores, rare-earth nanoparticles exhibit unparalleled advantages in disease theranostics by taking advantages such as large Stokes shift, sharp emission spectra, and high chemical/photochemical stability. The recent advances in elements doping and morphologies controlling endow the rare-earth nanoparticles with intriguing optical properties, including emission span to NIR-II region and long life-time photoluminescence. Particularly, NIR emissive rare earth nanoparticles hold advantages in reduction of light scattering, photon absorption and autofluorescence, largely improve the performance of nanoparticles in biological and pre-clinical applications. In this review, we systematically compared the benefits of RE nanoparticles with other NIR probes, and summarized the recent advances of NIR emissive RE nanoparticles in bioimaging, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery and NIR fluorescent IGS. The future challenges and promises of NIR emissive RE nanoparticles for IGS were also discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, the widely explored phenomenon "aggregation-induced emission (AIE)" has played a crucial role in the development of luminescent materials for light-emitting applications. In the same direction, the contribution of its sister concept "AIE switching" has been impressive. In comparison, the application of this concept in the field of biosensing or bioimaging is still in its infancy. Therefore, to shed light into the sensing of bioanalytes, we have developed a new perylenediimide (PDI)-based small fluorescent probe, benzoannulated PDI (Bp(Im)2MA), that selectively detects diamines and biogenic amines (BAs) in solution via an "AIE-switching" phenomenon. The synthesized probe containing the bay-annulated anhydride moiety exhibits strong cyan emission in solution. In the mechanism, we have shown that the terminal free amine group of BAs readily reacts with a highly reactive anhydride moiety, which opens the cyclic anhydride moiety. In the open conformation, the free amine group along with a carboxylate group modulates the polarity of the system strikingly. Because of this induced polarity, the monomer of Bp(Im)2MA-BAs conjugate aggregated in solution, thereby exhibiting a significant change in emission property in solution. This method may also be called a very simple and straightforward "naked eye" detection of BAs in solution, with a nanomolar detection limit. A detailed spectroscopic and microscopic investigation demonstrated the existence of the aggregated state. As the reporter dye also emits strongly in the solid state (yellowish orange), it therefore instantly made vapor-phase detection of BAs feasible. Finally, this vapor-phase detection of BAs by the probe was applied very effectively in the determination of spoilage of raw fish.

Abstract
Direct arylation polymerization (DARP) is a novel approach to obtain conjugated polymers (CPs) through the straightforward C-H activation of monomer building blocks. In this work, a convenient DARP method with high efficiency and excellent regioselectivity is developed to synthesize a series of donor-acceptor (D-A)-type CPs composed of electron-acceptor moiety fluorenones (FOs) and various electron-donor moieties. CPs with different band gaps are obtained in good yields and display large Stokes shifts up to 295 nm. Two ionic CPs, PFOP-NEt3(+) and PFOP-COO(-), were prepared in a polar solvent system to improve the water solubility and biocompatibility using the proposed DARP method. Detailed photophysical studies of these two CPs suggest that both solvation and hydrogen bonds play important roles in determining the polymers' spectroscopic properties. Further studies of the cationic polymer PFOP-NEt3(+) in cell imaging demonstrate its potential application in labeling cell membranes and lysosomes given its low cytotoxicity, excellent photostability, and specific subcellular localization.

Abstract
Sensitive and specific visualization of cell surface biotin receptors (BRs) a class of clinically important biomarkers, remains a challenge. In this work, a dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent nanoprobe is developed for specific imaging of cell surface avidin, a subtype of BRs. The nanoprobe comprises a dual-emission quantum dot nanohybrid, wherein a silica-encapsulated red-emitting QD (rQD@SiO2) is used as the "core" and green-emitting QDs (gQDs) are used as "satellites", which are further decorated with a new "love-hate"-type BR ligand, a phenanthroline-biotin conjugate with an amino linker. The nanoprobe shows intense rQD emission but quenched gQD emission by the BR ligand. Upon imaging, the rQD emission stays constant and the gQD emission is restored as cell surface avidin accrues. Accordingly, the overlaid fluorescence color collected from red and green emission changes from red to yellow and then to green. We refer to such a color change as a traffic light pattern and the nanoprobe as a fluorescent traffic light nanoprobe. We demonstrate the application of our fluorescent traffic light nanoprobe to characterize cancer cells. By the traffic light pattern, cervical carcinoma and normal cells, as well as different-type cancer cells including BR-negative colon cancer cells, BR-positive hepatoma carcinoma cells, breast cancer cells, and their subtypes, have been visually differentiated. We further demonstrate a use of our nanoprobe to distinguish the G2 phase from other stages in a cell cycle. These applications provide new insights into visualizing cell surface biomarkers with remarkable imaging resolution and accuracy.

Abstract
The efficacy of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy is largely limited by oxygen deficiency in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment. To solve these problems, we fabricated a novel NIR-responsive nanosystem which could co-deliver oxygen and anticancer drug DOX. An oxygen self-sufficient amphiphile (F-IR780-PEG) was first synthesized and subsequently utilized to load anticancer drug DOX to form nanoparticles (F/DOX nanoparticles). Due to the high oxygen capacity of such nanoparticles, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment was greatly modulated after these nanoparticles reached the tumor region, and the results revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIF-1α) was down-regulated and the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was then reduced, which were in favor of chemotherapy. Under light irradiation at 808 nm, IR780 could efficiently produce singlet oxygen to damage cancer cells by photodynamic therapy (PDT). Simultaneously, the IR780 linkage could be cleaved by singlet oxygen generated by itself and resulted in DOX release, which further caused cell damage by chemotherapy. With the combination of PDT and chemotherapy, F/DOX nanoparticles showed remarkable therapeutic efficacy under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Furthermore, the F/DOX nanoparticles are favorable for imaging-guided tumor therapy due to the inherent fluorescence properties of IR780. We thus believe that the synergistic treatment described here leads to an ideal therapeutic approach to hypoxic tumors.

Abstract
A regioselective synthetic protocol is developed via tetrabromination of perylenemonoimide (PMI) which leads to a series of PMI derivatives. The push-pull characteristics of these derivatives are established by spectroscopic and theoretical investigations. Finally, the semiconducting properties of the PMI dyes are utilized for the development of a switchable memory device.

Abstract
An efficient method for visible-light-triggered generation of radicals from mono- and dinitro-substituted perylenediimide derivatives is developed. UV-vis-NIR and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements were carried out to confirm the formation of radicals. Most importantly, these radical anions were remarkably stable for several months. Subsequently, the reversible nature of anions was validated by both chemical and spectroelectrochemical methods for applications in electrochromic materials.
