Published: March 2020

Cyanines derived from heptamethines were mainly discussed regarding their functionalization to broaden the solubility in different surroundings exhibiting either hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties and to tailor made the Δ photopysical properties with respect to absorption and fluorescence. Electrochemical properties were additionally considered for some selected examples. The cyanines chosen comprised as end groups either indolenine, benzo[]- or benzo[]indolium pattern, which facilitated to shift the absorption between 750-1000 nm. This enabled their use in applications with light sources emitting in the near-infrared (NIR) region selected from high power LEDs or lasers with line-shaped focus. The absorbers considered were discussed regarding their function as sensitizer for applications related to Chemistry 4.0 standards. These were mainly photopolymer coatings, which can be found for applications in the graphic industry or to protect selected substrates. The huge release of heat on demand upon turning ON or OFF the NIR light source enables them for photothermal treatment in processes requesting heat to initiate either chemical (activated reactions) or physical (melting, evaporation) events.

Neutral mesoionic carbenes (MICs) based on a 1,2,3-triazole core have had a strong impact on various branches of chemistry such as homogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photochemistry/photophysics. We present here the first general synthesis of anionic mesoionic carbenes (anMICs) based on a 1,2,3-triazole core and a borate backbone. The free anMIC is stable in solution under an inert atmosphere at low temperatures, and can be stored for several weeks.

Various photoactive molecules contain motifs built on aza-aromatic heterocycles, although a detailed understanding of the excited state photophysics and photochemistry in such systems is not fully developed. To help address this issue, the non-adiabatic dynamics operating in azanaphthalenes under hexane solvation was studied following 267 nm excitation using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. Specifically, the species quinoline, isoquinoline, quinazoline, quinoxaline, 1,6-naphthyridine, and 1,8-naphthyridine were investigated, providing a systematic variation in the relative positioning of nitrogen heteroatom centres within a bicyclic aromatic structure.

Herein, the photophysical, photochemical properties and photogenerated excited state dynamics of two new Ru(II) complexes, viz. [Ru(p-ttp)(bpy)(PTA)]2+ [1]2+, [Ru(p-ttp)(phen)(PTA)]2+ [2]2+ having a phosphorus-based ligand PTA [p-ttp = p-tolyl terpyridine; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl; phen = 1,10-phenthroline and PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane] are reported. Upon excitation with 470 nm LED, [1]2+ and [2]2+ neither undergo ligand release nor exhibit room temperature luminescence/1O2 generation.

Bilirubin, a yellow bile pigment, plays an important role in the body, being a potent antioxidant and having anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, cytoprotective, and neuroprotective functions. This makes bilirubin promising as a therapeutic and diagnostic agent in biomedicine. However, excess bilirubin is toxic and should be removed from the body.

H- and J-aggregates of many molecules can be considered ordered mesoscopic structures that behave like a single entity. This is due to coherent electronic coupling between electronic excitations of aggregated molecules, resulting in distinct electronic properties compared to the monomer. H-aggregates are generally non-emissive and, due to this property, they are considered unfit for optoelectronics applications, but they have found applications in organic light-emitting transistors.
