Abstract
There is a need to shift the absorbance of biomolecules to the optical transparency window of tissue for applications in optogenetics and photo-pharmacology. There are a few strategies to achieve the so-called red shift of the absorption maxima. Herein, a series of 11 merocyanine dyes were synthesized and employed as chromophores in place of retinal in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) to achieve a bathochromic shift of the absorption maxima relative to bR's [Formula: see text] of 568 nm. Assembly with the apoprotein bacterioopsin (bO) led to stable, covalently bound chromoproteins with strongly bathochromic absorbance bands, except for three compounds. Maximal red shifts were observed for molecules 9, 2, and 8 in bR where the [Formula: see text] was 766, 755, and 736 nm, respectively. While these three merocyanines have different end groups, they share a similar structural feature, namely, a methyl group which is located at the retinal equivalent position 13 of the polyene chain. The absorption and fluorescence data are also presented for the retinal derivatives in their aldehyde, Schiff base (SB), and protonated SB (PSB) forms in solution. According to their hemicyanine character, the PSBs and their analogue bRs exhibited fluorescence quantum yields (Φf) several orders of magnitude greater than native bR (Φf 0.02 to 0.18 versus 1.5 × 10-5 in bR) while also exhibiting much smaller Stokes shifts than bR (400 to 1000 cm-1 versus 4030 cm-1 in bR). The experimental results are complemented by quantum chemical calculations where excellent agreement between the experimental [Formula: see text] and the calculated [Formula: see text] was achieved with the second-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction [ADC(2)] method. In addition, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations were employed to shed light on the origin of the bathochromic shift of merocyanine 2 in bR compared with native bR.

Abstract
In this study, the application of ionic materials as a combination antibiotic drug was investigated. The fluoroquinolone, Norfloxacin, was converted into the ionic form and combined with the cationic dye, IR780+, using an ion-exchange reaction. The resulting ionic combination drug possesses two killing mechanisms in one compound. The antibiotic chemical mechanism along with the photothermal mechanism that was acquired by adding IR780 to the compound led to the development of a combination antibiotic drug. This ionic combination drug consisting of Norfloxacin anion and IR780 cation is easily dispersed in water using sonication waves. The parent compounds and ionic combination drug, dissolved in organic solvent and dispersed in water, were characterized, and the photophysical properties were studied in detail. It was discovered that the aqueous ionic combination drugs exhibited significant changes in absorbance and photoluminescent properties. In aqueous media, the dispersed ionic combination drug exhibited a very broad absorbance with an additional peak around 1000 nm which is advantageous in photothermal. A significant decrease in the quantum yield along with enhanced non-radiative rate constant was observed for the combination drug in the aqueous. The photothermal mechanism is present in both the parent IR780 dye and the ionic combination drug. The ionic combination drug displayed a high light-to-heat conversion efficiency and temperature increase similar to the parent dye. The combination of both killing mechanisms in the ionic combination drug resulted in enhanced antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli as compared to the parent Norfloxacin and IR780-I individually.

Abstract
Recent literature on this topic highlights the significance of adding malononitrile moiety and halogen substituents to the squaraine scaffold to create redshifted fluorophores into the near-infrared optical region. Herein, a redshifted hydrophobic squaraine dye is synthesized via a three-step pathway. The reported dye is characterized by spectroscopic techniques, such as 1H NMR, 19F NMR, 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectroscopy. Optical properties are also reported using absorbance and fluorescence studies. The hydrophobicity of the dye was studied with absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy in water–methanol mixtures and showed J-aggregates as the water concentration increased. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to assess its electron delocalization as well as observe the three-dimensional geometry of the dye as a result of the dicyanomethylene modification and the two bulky phenyl groups.

Abstract
Owing to their outstanding optical properties and superior physical/chemical stability, dye-doped fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) are growing exponentially as signal labels of immunochromatographic lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) for the detection of various analytes. However, the key challenge in the design of these fluorescent NPs is to confine the fluorophores inside NPs at extreme concentrations, at which dyes tend to self-quench resulting from the formation of non-fluorescent aggregates. Looking for other advantageous nanomaterials, we propose for the first time the use of a nanosized fluorescent metal-organic framework (nanoMOF) in LFA for the detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) as a model analyte. Featured by the chromophore assembly, the nanoMOF exhibited a high dye loading (∼60%) and strong fluorescence intensity, which was due to the reduced self-quenching of dyes in a variety of MOF matrices. The strong green fluorescence intensity of the nanoMOF gives a high contrast against the background of the strips and the sensitivity reflected by photoluminescence was improved by the enhanced antenna effect. Furthermore, due to the high surface area for antibody stemming, the limit of detection (LOD) of the MOF based LFA for SEB detection was as low as 0.025 ng mL-1. The compatibility of the MOF based LFA with dairy samples and its stability under long-term storage conditions were also demonstrated. The integration of a nanoMOF into LFA to detect toxins could inspire the utilization of such nanomaterial-based labels in similar immunochromatographic testing methods to improve their performance.

Abstract
Thirteen red-shifted pentamethine dimethyl and diethylamino tetrahydroxanthylium derivatives have been successfully synthesized via the microwave-assisted approach. The optimized conditions developed in the synthesis provided an excellent yield in expedited reaction time. These newly synthesized dyes show well-defined optical properties resulting from the diverse substitutions at the central meso positions. The majority of the compounds have a maximum wavelength of absorbance within 946-1022 nm with extinction coefficients in the range of 9700-110,680 M-1 cm-1 in various solvents such as MeOH, EtOH, DMSO, DCM, MeCN, and DMF. These fluorophores, to the best of our knowledge, are the first NIR-II small molecules synthesized using microwave chemistry. We also investigated these dyes for their NIR fluorescence imaging capabilities. Diethylamino-substituted compounds and bromination resulted in higher uptake in the adrenal gland compared to dimethylamino fluorophores. In addition, micellar structures of compounds 7 and 15 improved the targetability of the original dyes to the bone marrow, lymph nodes, and nerves. Overall, NIR-II imaging has the potential to visualize biologically targeted tissues in living organisms.

Abstract
Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) aids surgeons with real-time visualization of small cancer foci and borders, which improves surgical and prognostic efficacy of cancer. Despite the steady advances in imaging devices, there is a scarcity of fluorophores available to achieve optimal FGS. Here, 1) a pH-sensitive near-infrared fluorophore that exhibits rapid signal changes in acidic tumor microenvironments (TME) caused by the attenuation of intramolecular quenching, 2) the inherent targeting for cancer based on chemical structure (structure inherent targeting, SIT), and 3) mitochondrial and lysosomal retention are reported. After topical application of PH08 on peritoneal tumor regions in ovarian cancer-bearing mice, a rapid fluorescence increase (< 10 min), and extended preservation of signals (> 4 h post-topical application) are observed, which together allow for the visualization of submillimeter tumors with a high tumor-to-background ratio (TBR > 5.0). In addition, PH08 is preferentially transported to cancer cells via organic anion transporter peptides (OATPs) and colocalizes in the mitochondria and lysosomes due to the positive charges, enabling a long retention time during FGS. PH08 not only has a significant impact on surgical and diagnostic applications but also provides an effective and scalable strategy to design therapeutic agents for a wide array of cancers.

Abstract
We have designed and synthesized two new cyaninic Nd3+ complexes where the lanthanide emission can be induced from simultaneous two-photon absorption followed by energy migration. These complexes correspond to a molecular design that uses an antenna ligand formed by the functionalization of a heptamethine dye with 5-ol-phenanthroline or 4-phenyl-terpyridine derivatives. These complexes employ the important nonlinear optical properties of symmetric polymethines to sensitize the lanthanide ion. We verified that simultaneous biphotonic excitation indirectly induces the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 Nd3+ emission using femtosecond laser pulses tuned below the first electronic transition of the antenna. The simultaneous two-photon excitation events initially form the nonlinear-active second excited singlet of the polymethine antenna, which rapidly evolves into its first excited singlet. This state in turn induces the formation of the emissive Nd3+ states through energy transfer. The role of the first excited singlet of the antenna as the donor state in this process was verified through time resolution of the antenna's fluorescence. These measurements also provided the rates for antenna-lanthanide energy transfer, which indicate that the phenanthroline-type ligand is approximately five times more efficient for energy transfer than the phenyl-terpyridine derivative due to their relative donor-acceptor distances. The simultaneous two-photon excitation of this polymethine antenna allows for high spatial localization of the Nd3+excitation events.

Abstract
Sensitization of TiO2 by dyes such as cyanine and their derivatives is used as a technique to improve potency for the production of hydrogen gas as an alternative green fuel. These dyes shift the spectrum of TiO2 from the UV region to the visible region, enabling it to harvest as much sunlight as possible. Herein, four different derivatives of cyanine (labelled C1, C2, C3, and C4) were prepared and doped in Ag/TiO2via the impregnation method. The properties of the prepared photocatalysts were studied by XRD, SEM-EDS, FTIR, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The sensitized photocatalysts exhibited a similar morphology, nanoscale particle size, and good absorbance in the visible region. The rate constant for the photocatalytic activity of Ag/TiO2 showed a great enhancement for hydrogen evolution after sensitization from 0.088 to 0.33 μmol min−1. Doping of the C2 derivative in Ag/TiO2 promoted the photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic rates of H2 production by 7.5 and 9 times, respectively. Also, the amount of photocatalyst had a significant effect on the photocatalytic activity of the sensitized Ag/TiO2, where 0.14 g was the optimum dose, giving the maximum yield at both the initial rate and 300 min. One of the important factors causing the efficiency to reach high levels is the inhibition of photogenerated electron/hole recombination. This was achieved by adding a small quantity of methanol, which increased the rate by 9 times. The stability of the prepared photocatalysts was tested, which gave good results even after their 5th use. All the results confirmed that the sensitization of metal oxides is a promising solution in industry to produce clean energy (H2) in high quantities over highly stable photocatalysts.

Abstract
A heptamethine fluorophore, ERB-60, has been synthesized efficiently in four steps in a good yield. The structure of this fluorophore consists of an electron-donating group (methoxy), a hydrophobic moiety (phenylpropyl) with a rotatable bond, a quaternary ammonium fragment, and indolium rings at the terminal ends connected via polymethine chain. All these inherent chemical features fine-tuned the optical properties of the fluorophore. This compound was characterized by both 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectra. The optical properties, including molar absorptivity, fluorescence, Stokes’s shift, and quantum yield, were measured in different solvents such as DMSO, DMF, MeCN, i-PrOH, MeOH, and H2O. The wavelengths of maximum absorbance of ERB-60 were found to be in the range of 745–770 nm based on the solvents used. In decreasing order, the maximum wavelength of absorbance of ERB-60 in the tested solvents was DMSO > DMF > i-PrOH > MeOH > MeCN > H2O while the decreasing order of the extinction coefficient was found to be MeCN > MeOH > DMSO > i-PrOH > H2O > DMF. ERB-60 was found to be more photostable than IR-786 iodide, a commercially available dye, and brighter than the FDA-approved dye, indocyanine green (ICG).

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) laser-induced phototherapy through NIR agents has demonstrated the great potential for cancer therapy. However, insufficient tumor killing due to the nonuniform heat or cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) distribution over tumors from phototherapy results in tumor recurrence and inferior outcomes. To achieve high tumor killing efficacy, one of the solutions is to employ the combinational treatment of phototherapy with other modalities, especially with chemotherapeutic agents. In this paper, a simple and effective multimodal therapeutic system was designed via combining chemotherapy, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to achieve the polytherapy of malignant glioma which is one of the most aggressive tumors in the brain. IR-780 (IR780) dye-labeled tube-forming peptoids (PepIR) were synthesized and self-assembled into crystalline nanotubes (PepIR nanotubes). These PepIR nanotubes showed an excellent efficacy for PDT/PTT because the IR780 photosensitizers were effectively packed and separated from each other within crystalline nanotubes by tuning IR780 density; thus, a self-quenching of these IR780 molecules was significantly reduced. Moreover, the efficient DOX loading achieved due to the nanotube large surface area contributed to an efficient and synergistic chemotherapy against glioma cells. Given the unique properties of peptoids and peptoid nanotubes, we believe that the developed multimodal DOX-loaded PepIR nanotubes in this work offer great promises for future glioma therapy in clinic.

Abstract
IR-792 as near IR (NIR) laser dye was dissolved with different concentrations in two types of ionic liquids (ILs) of different anion and cation, 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (EMIM TFSI) & 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIM BF4), as the benign green solvent and in methanol (MeOH) as a standard solvent. The behavior of fluorescence of IR-792 dye was studied. The fluorescence of IR-792 dissolved in the ILs was heavily compared to organic solvent. Some photo-physical parameters of IR-792 were calculated. Mainly, IR-792 had a very low quantum yield of fluorescence with high intersystem crossing rate & fluorescence lifetime in picosecond range. Optical absorption and behavior of fluorescence for the rigorously the purified imidazolium ILs in the neat condition and effect of IR-792 on their fluorescence have been examined. The emission behavior of IR-792 in green solvents was independent upon the wavelength of excitation, while the emission behavior of green solvents dependent upon the wavelength of excitation whether in pure state or with NIR laser dye. At most, the intensity of fluorescence of ILs is dependent upon dye concentration.

Abstract
The production of hydrogen as an alternative fuel is a major challenge for developed countries. To achieve this, photocatalysis is a promising method, which depends mainly on a renewable energy source, namely, the sun. Many derivatives of cyanine-sensitized Cu/TiO2 were prepared and characterized by XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, BET surface area and UV-vis spectrophotometry and their photocatalytic activity was studied. The study of hydrogen production over the sensitized photocatalysts confirmed the significant role of the dyes in the enhancement of hydrogen production. Dye molecules harness light radiation to produce strong oxidizing species, such as hydroxyl radicals, which in turn form hydrogen molecules. Combining sonolysis with photocatalysis processes proved that ultrasound waves inhibit the agglomeration of particles and maintain their surface area. This synergetic process increased the efficiency of hydrogen production by 7 times using photocatalysis only.

Abstract
Silver is a common catalyst in industrial production, and the frequent use of Ag⁺ can cause water pollution. Thus, the detection of Ag⁺ in the environment is necessary to determine the level of pollution from silver. In this work, we designed a new, highly selective near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe QCy to detect Ag⁺. The probe exhibits "turn-off" fluorescence quenching responses at 760 nm towards Ag⁺ over other relevant cations, with outstanding sensitivity and a low detection limit (0.03 µM), which is considerably lower than the standard of the World Health Organization (WHO) for drinking water (0.9 µM). Meanwhile, QCy showed a very good linearity at a low concentration of Ag⁺ with a 'naked eye' visible color change of solution from blue to red. The probe has been applied successfully for the detection of Ag⁺ in real water samples.

Abstract
We have synthesized and characterized of a series of single and multidye copolymerized nanoparticles with large to very large Stokes shifts (100 to 255 nm) for versatile applications as standalone or multiplexed probes in biological matrices. Nanoparticles were prepared via the Stöber method and covalently copolymerized with various combinations of three dyes, including one novel aminocyanine dye. Covalently encapsulated dyes exhibited no significant leakage from the nanoparticle matrix after more than 200 days of storage in ethanol. Across multiple batches of nanoparticles with varying dye content, the average yields and average radii were found to be highly reproducible. Furthermore, the batch to batch variability in the relative amounts of dye incorporated was small (relative standard deviations <2.3%). Quantum yields of dye copolymerized nanoparticles were increased 50% to 1000% relative to those of their respective dye-silane conjugates, and fluorescence intensities were enhanced by approximately three orders of magnitude. Prepared nanoparticles were surface modified with polyethylene glycol and biotin and bound to streptavidin microspheres as a proof of concept. Under single wavelength excitation, microsphere-bound nanoparticles displayed readily distinguishable fluorescence signals at three different emission wavelengths, indicating their potential applications to multicolor sensing. Furthermore, nanoparticles modified with polyethylene glycol and biotin demonstrated hematoprotective qualities and reduced nonspecific binding of serum proteins, indicating their potential suitability to in vivo imaging applications.
