A squaraine rotaxane endoperoxide with a truncated squaraine chromophore undergoes a cycloreversion reaction and emits green light that can be transferred to red acceptor dyes. The results demonstrate that chemiluminescence emission for squaraine rotaxane endoperoxides comes from the excited squaraine inside the rotaxane.

In nature, molecular environments in proteins can sterically protect and stabilize reactive species such as organic radicals through non-covalent interactions. Here, we report a near-infrared fluorescent rotaxane in which the stabilization of a chemically labile squaraine fluorophore by the coordination of a tetralactam macrocycle can be controlled chemically and electrochemically. The rotaxane can be switched between two co-conformations in which the wheel either stabilizes or exposes the fluorophore.

Integrating an NIR fluorescent probe with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agent to harvest complementary imaging information is challenging. Here, we have designed water-soluble, biocompatible, noncytotoxic, bright-NIR-emitting, sugar-functionalized, mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs)-capped superparamagnetic ultrasmall FeO NPs for targeted multimodal imaging. Dual-functional stoppers containing an unsymmetrical NIR squaraine dye interlocked within a macrocycle to construct multifunctional MIMs are developed with enhanced NIR fluorescence efficiency and durability.

Molecular excitons play a central role in natural and artificial light harvesting, organic electronics, and nanoscale computing. The structure and dynamics of molecular excitons, critical to each application, are sensitively governed by molecular packing. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) templating is a powerful approach that enables controlled aggregation via sub-nanometer positioning of molecular dyes.

The entrapment of squaraine (SQ) within a molecular container to form rotaxane has been shown to improve the dye stability and the fluorescence proficiency inside the mitochondria. The macrocycle provides shelter and protects the near-infrared (NIR) SQ chromophore from nucleophilic attacks made by the exposed thiol of Cys-containing mitochondrial proteins and mitochondrial glutathione. Herein a microwave-assisted template-directed clipping reaction on low-loading 2-chlorotrityl chloride resin is used to develop an NIR unsymmetrical squaraine rotaxane in high quantum yield.
