Highly stable symmetric and asymmetric squaraine fluorophores have been synthesized featuring an internal salt bridge between a quaternary ammonium cation and the central oxycyclobutenolate ring of th
Luminescence detection is a sensitive approach for high-resolution visualization of nano-/macro-sized objects in complex media, but it’s challenging to light the invisible insulators owing to their in
Polar and polarizable π-conjugated organic molecules containing push–pull chromophores have been investigated extensively in the past. Identifying unique backbones and building blocks for fluorescent
The tripodal H3thqtcn ligand allows the synthesis of well-defined neutral monomeric syn-tris(hydroxyquinolinate) complexes of lanthanides. Pure [Ln(thqtcn)] complexes (Ln = Nd, 1; Er, 2; Yb, 3) of the
