Abstract
Advanced photosensitizers for high-performance fluorescence imaging-guided photothermal therapy demand excellent near-infrared (NIR) brightness [molar absorption coefficient (ε) × quantum yield (QY)] and exceptional photothermal performance [ε × photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE)]. However, integrating high brightness and potent photothermal performance within a single molecule faces a formidable challenge. This article proposes a method to address this issue by preparing J-aggregate nanoparticles (NPs) using molecules with high ε. J-aggregates effectively improve QY and induce molecular emission redshift, while high ε molecules play a crucial role in improving the brightness and photothermal performance. By optimizing the molecular structure based on the pyrrolopyrrole cyanine (PPCy), precise control over the QY and PCE of PPCy J-aggregates is achieved. Ultimately, PDDO NPs exhibiting superior brightness (ε × QY = 3.32 × 104 M-1 cm-1) and photothermal performance (ε × PCE = 1.21 × 105 M-1 cm-1) are identified as high-performance photosensitizers. Notably, each parameter represents one of the highest levels among the reported fluorescence or photothermal probes to date. The in vivo studies demonstrate that PDDO NPs possess exceptional NIR imaging capabilities and remarkable photothermal tumor inhibition rates. This study provides innovative insights into the development of high-performance multifunctional photosensitizers.

Abstract
In controlled supramolecular polymerization, planar π-conjugated scaffolds are commonly used to predictably regulate stacking interactions, with various assembly pathways arising from competing interactions involving side groups. However, the extent to which the nature of the chromophore itself (planar vs. non-planar) affects pathway complexity requires clarification. To address this question, we herein designed a new BOPHY dye 2, where two oppositely oriented BF2 groups induce a disruption of planarity, and compared its supramolecular polymerization in non-polar media with that of a previously reported planar BODIPY 1 bearing identical substituents. The slightly non-planar structure of the BOPHY dye 2, as evident in previously reported X-ray structures, together with the additional out-of-plane BF2 group, allow for more diverse stacking possibilities leading to two fiber-like assemblies (kinetic 2A and thermodynamic 2B), in contrast to the single assembly previously observed for BODIPY 1. The impact of the less rigid, preorganized BOPHY core compared to the planar BODIPY counterpart is also reflected in the stronger tendency of the former to form anisotropic assemblies as a result of more favorable hydrogen bonding arrays. The structural versatility of the BOPHY core ultimately enables two stable packing arrangements: a kinetically controlled antiparallel face-to-face stacking (2A), and a thermodynamically controlled parallel slipped packing (2B) stabilized by (BF2) F⋯H (meso) interactions. Our findings underscore the significance of planarity breaking and out-of-plane substituents on chromophores as design elements in controlled supramolecular polymerization.

Abstract
To better understand the correlation between molecular structure and optical properties such as aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and mechanochromic luminescence (MCL) emission, two new pyrene-based derivatives with substitutions at the 4- and 5-positions (1HH) and at the 4-, 5-, 9-, and 10-positions (2HH) were designed and synthesized. Cyano groups were introduced at the periphery of the synthesized compounds (1HCN, 1OCN, 1BCN, 2HCN, 2OCN, and 2BCN) to investigate the influence of these groups on the emission properties of the pyrene derivatives both in solution and in the solid state. The fluorescence emission performance of these compounds in water/acetone mixtures was simultaneously studied, revealing outstanding aggregation-induced emission properties. The typical shift in emission maxima to higher values was attributed to J-aggregate formation in the aggregate state. Careful investigation of the crystal structures demonstrated abundant and intense intermolecular interactions, such as C-H…π and C-H…N hydrogen bonds, contributing to the remarkable mechanochromic luminescence performance of these compounds. The MCL properties of all the compounds were investigated using powder X-ray diffraction, and the remarkable mechanochromic properties were attributed to J-aggregate phenomena in the solid state. These results provide valuable insights into the structure-property relationship of organic MCL materials, guiding the design of efficient organic MCL materials.

Abstract
This minireview focuses on recent advancements in organic molecular-to-supramolecular self-assembled room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials and their prospective biomedical applications. RTP materials, having their unique capacity to emit long-lasting phosphorescence at ambient temperature, have piqued researchers' interest in various biological applications, including biosensing, bioimaging, drug delivery, and photodynamic therapy (PDT). These materials have several benefits, including high sensitivity, remarkable photostability, and low cytotoxicity. RTP materials' self-assembly into supramolecular structures improves their performance and broadens their uses. Researchers have built organic RTP systems with long-lasting phosphorescence by leveraging weak noncovalent interactions in aquatic conditions. These materials have demonstrated incredible promise as biosensors that enable sensitive analyte detection and as photosensitizers in PDT that target and sensitize specific cell types. The review also outlines future directions and challenges in developing and utilizing pure organic RTP materials for biological imaging purposes, providing valuable guidelines for their future design and application.

Abstract
The development of organic dyes with emission peaks in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II 1000-1700 nm) is highly desirable for in vivo imaging and imaging-guided phototheranostics. However, the lack of appropriate molecular frameworks and the challenges associated with complex synthesis critically hinder the development of new candidate fluorophores. J-Aggregation is considered as a smart and straightforward way to construct such a therapeutic agent with NIR-II fluorescence imaging properties. Here, we present the design and synthesis of an aza-BODIPY probe (TA). Upon encapsulation within the amphiphilic polymer DSPEG-PEG2000-NH2, TA underwent self-assembly and formed J-aggregates (TAJ NPs), which showed emission at 1020 nm. High spatial resolution and adequate signal-to-noise ratio of the TAJ NPs are demonstrated for noninvasive bioimaging of the vasculature, lymph nodes and bones of mice in the NIR-II region. Moreover, the TAJ NPs exhibited good tumor enrichment efficiency with reduced liver accumulation and significant imaging-guided phototherapy performance against lung cancer cells. Taken together, this work not only introduces a new NIR-II imaging and phototheranostic agent based on J-aggregates, but also provides insight into the development of versatile organic dyes for future clinical implementation.

Abstract
Here, we present a ditopic ion-pair sensor, B1, containing the BODIPY reporter unit in its structure, which is shown to be able-thanks to the presence of two heterogeneous binding domains-to interact with anions in an enhanced manner in the presence of cations. This enables it to interact with salts even in 99% aqueous solutions, making B1 a good candidate in terms of visual salt detection in the aquatic environment. Receptor B1's ability to extract and release salt was applied in the transport of potassium chloride through a bulk liquid membrane. Working with a concentration of B1 in the organic phase and with the presence of a specific salt in an aqueous solution, an inverted transport experiment was also demonstrated. By varying the type and the amount of the anions added to B1, we were able to develop diverse optical responses, including a unique four-step ON1-OFF-ON2-ON3 output.

Abstract
After more than three decades of extensive investigations on supramolecular polymers, strategies for self-limiting growth still remain challenging. Herein, we exploit a new V-shaped monomer design to achieve anticooperatively formed oligomers with superior robustness and high luminescence. In toluene, the monomer-oligomer equilibrium is shifted to the monomer side, enabling the elucidation of the molecular packing modes and the resulting (weak) anticooperativity. Steric effects associated with an antiparallel staircase organization of the dyes are proposed to outcompete aromatic and unconventional B-F⋅⋅⋅H-N/C interactions, restricting the growth at the stage of oligomers. In methylcyclohexane (MCH), the packing modes and the anticooperativity are preserved; however, pronounced solvophobic and chain-enwrapping effects lead to thermally ultrastable oligomers. Our results shed light on understanding anticooperative effects and restricted growth in self-assembly.

Abstract
A new selective fluorogenic chemosensor for Hg2+, which combines a calixarene derivative with a BODIPY core as a fluorescent reporter, is described. The remarkable change in its fluorogenic properties in DMSO and CHCl3 has been analyzed. A study of its spectral properties on dilution, along with molecular modeling studies, allowed us to explain that this behavior involves the formation of a J-dimer, as well as how the sensing mechanism of Hg2+ proceeds.

Abstract
With the continuous development of organic materials for optoelectronic devices and biological applications, J-aggregation has attracted a great deal of interest in both dye chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. Except for the characteristic red-shifted absorption and emission, such ordered head-to-tail stacked structures may be accompanied by special properties such as enhanced absorption, narrowed spectral bandwidth, improved photothermal and photodynamic properties, aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) phenomenon, and so forth. These excellent properties add great potential to J-aggregates for optical imaging and phototherapy in the near-infrared (NIR) region. Despite decades of development, the challenge of rationally designing the molecular structure to adjust intermolecular forces to induce J-aggregation of organic dyes remains significant. In this review, we discuss the formation of J-aggregates in terms of intermolecular interactions and summarize some recent studies on J-aggregation dyes for NIR imaging and phototherapy, to provide a clear direction and reference for designing J-aggregates of near-infrared organic dyes to better enable biological applications. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease.

Abstract
Efficient prediction of the aggregation-induced callback of organic chromophores for utilization in molecular sensorics is a desirable development goal in modern computational chemistry. Dye aggregates are complicated to study when utilizing conventional quantum chemistry approaches, since they are usually composed of too many atoms to be effectively analyzed, even with high-throughput parallel systems. Here, we present a successful attempt to develop a protocol to assess the spectroscopic changes happening in BODIPY dyes upon aggregation from the first principles utilizing extended tight-binding (XTB) and Zerner's intermediate neglect of differential overlap (ZINDO) Hamiltonians. The developed sampling technique for aggregate configurational space scanning was found to be sufficient to both reproduce peculiarities and justify experimental data on the spectroscopic behavior of chromophore aggregates. The sTDA, sTD-DFT (GFN2-XTB) and CIS (ZINDO) approaches were assessed, and then sources of errors and benefits were outlined. Importantly, our goal was to keep any of the mentioned calculations within a computational cost feasible for a single workstation, whereas scaling was possible at any point in time. Finally, several aggregate structures were investigated in the external field to try to achieve distributions similar to the ones observed in the electrostatic potential of the air-water interface to assess the borderlines of practical applicability of the suggested scheme.

Abstract
Through the activation of packing arrangements of dyes to modulate their photophysical and/or photochemical properties, not only new NIR-II dyes but tumor-specific NIR-II imaging and therapy can also be achieved. Herein, we designed an acid-responsive polypeptide nanoparticle (P-ipr@Gal) encapsulated with a pH-sensitive amphiphilic polypeptide (P-ipr) as a carrier for the galactose-conjugated BODIPY (Gal-BDP) dye. When P-ipr@Gal NPs are enriched in tumor regions by the EPR effect, the acidic microenvironment (pH 6.4-6.8) promotes the disintegration of P-ipr@Gal nanomicelles and the release of sufficient Gal-BDP. The protonation of the julolidine nitrogen of the Gal-BDP dye switched on the molecular stacking transformation from the H-aggregate to J-aggregate. The J-aggregate significantly enhanced the redshift absorption and emission intensity, which enhanced the fluorescence brightness and photothermal therapeutic effect in the tumor region. We also prepared J-aggregates PAsp@Gal with non-acidic responsive polyaspartic acid benzyl esters (PAsp) encapsulated Gal-BDP, which remained "always-on" with J-aggregate characteristics. The P-ipr@Gal (or PAsp@Gal) J-aggregate has a maximum emission peak redshifted to nearly 1064 nm, with a 3.5-fold increase in the emission intensity compared to the H-aggregate at pH 7.4. Based on the effective accumulation of tumor sites and considerable PCE (>40%), P-ipr@Gal nanoparticles have a lower background and higher tumor background ratio, which makes them a potential NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal therapy agents.

Abstract
Here, three Schiff bases 3a-c, differing by the substitutions (-H, -Cl, and -N(CH3)2) on the phenyl ring, have been designed and synthesized via the reaction of ortho-aminophenol with benzaldehyde, 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde and para-dimethylamine benzaldehyde in 1:1 molar ratio with favourable yields of 89-92%, respectively. Their structural characterizations were studied by FT-IR, NMR, MALDI-MS and elemental analysis. The fluorescence behaviours of compounds 3a and 3b exhibited a severe aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect in EtOH/water system. On the contrary, compound 3c had an obvious J-aggregation induced emission (AIE) feature in EtOH/water mixture (v/v = 1:1), and exhibited excellent sensitivity and anti-interference towards Cu2+ with the limit of detection (LOD) of 1.35 × 10-8 M. Job's plot analysis and MS spectroscopic study revealed the 2:1 complexation of probe 3c and Cu2+. In addition, probe 3c was successfully applied to the determination of Cu2+ in real aqueous samples.

Abstract
Herein, we present a strategy to enable a maintained emissive behavior in the self‐assembled state by enforcing an anti‐cooperative self‐assembly involving weak intermolecular dye interactions. To achieve this goal, we designed a conformationally flexible monomer unit 1 with a central 1,3‐substituted (diphenyl)urea hydrogen bonding synthon that is tethered to two BODIPY dyes featuring sterically bulky trialkoxybenzene substituents at the meso‐position. The competition between attractive forces (H‐bonding and aromatic interactions) and destabilizing effects (steric and competing conformational effects) limits the assembly, halting the supramolecular growth at the stage of small oligomers. Given the presence of weak dye–dye interactions, the emission properties of molecularly dissolved 1 are negligibly affected upon aggregation. Our findings contribute to broadening the scope of emissive supramolecular assemblies and controlled supramolecular polymerization.
