Abstract
In general, 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety is much less common in the synthesis and applications in comparison to its regioisomeric counterpart. Moreover, the synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles are not so straightforward as is the case for copper catalyzed strategy of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. The preparation of 1,5-triazolylated carbohydrates and nucleosides are even more complex because of the difficulties in accessing the appropriate starting materials as well as the compatibility of reaction conditions with the various protecting groups. 1,5-Disubstitution regioisomeric triazoles of carbohydrates and nucleosides were traditionally obtained as minor products through straightforward heating of the mixture of azides and terminal alkynes. However, the separation of isomers was tedious or in some cases futile. On the other hand, regioselective synthesis using ruthenium catalysis triggered serious concern of residual metal content in therapeutically important ingredients. Therefore, serious efforts are being made by several groups to develop non-toxic metal based or completely metal-free synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. This article strives to summarize the pre-Click era as well as the post-2001 reports on the synthesis and potential applications of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in biological systems.

Abstract
Herein, we constructed a novel aminofluorene-based fluorescence probe (FEN-CE) for the detection of carboxylesterase (CE) in living cells by a ratiometric near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence signal. FEN-CE with NIR emission (650 nm) could be hydrolyzed specifically by CE and transformed to FENH with the release of the self-immolative group, which exhibited a red-shifted emission peak of 680 nm. In addition, FEN-CE showed high selectivity for CE and was successfully used in the detection of CE activity in living cells through its ratiometric NIR fluorescence signals.

Abstract
The deployment of small-molecule fluorescent agents plays an ever-growing role in medicine and drug development. Herein, we complement the portfolio of powerful fluorophores, reporting the serendipitous discovery and development of a novel class with an imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinium triflate core, which we term PyrAtes. These fluorophores are synthesized in a single step from readily available materials (>60 examples) and display Stokes shifts as large as 240 nm, while also reaching NIR-I emissions at λmax as long as 720 nm. Computational studies allow the development of a platform for the prediction of λmax and λEm. Furthermore, we demonstrate the compatibility of these novel fluorophores with live cell imaging in HEK293 cells, suggesting PyrAtes as potent intracellular markers.

Abstract
Small-molecule dyes are generally designed based on well-understood electronic effects. However, steric hindrance can promote excited-state geometric relaxation, increasing the difference between the positions of absorption and emission bands (the Stokes shift). Accordingly, we hypothesized that sterically induced central ring puckering in xanthene dyes could be used to systematically increase their Stokes shift. Through a combined experimental/quantum-chemical approach, we screened a group of (9-acylimino)-pyronin dyes with a perturbed central ring geometry. Our results showed that an atom with sp3 hybridization in position 10 of (9-acylimino)-pyronins induces central ring puckering and facilitates excited-state geometric relaxation, thereby markedly enhancing their Stokes shifts (by up to ~2000 cm-1). Thus, we prepared fluorescent (9-acylimino)-pyronin pH sensors, which showed a Stokes shift disparity between acid and base forms of up to ~8700 cm-1. Moreover, the concept of ring puckering-enhanced Stokes shift can be applied to a wide range of xanthene analogues found in the literature. Therefore, central ring puckering may be reliably used as a strategy for enhancing Stokes shifts in the rational design of dyes.

Abstract
Organic fluorophores are indispensable tools in cells, tissue and in vivo imaging, and have enabled much progress in the wide range of biological and biomedical fields. However, many available dyes suffer from insufficient performances, such as short absorption and emission wavelength, low brightness, poor stability, small Stokes shift, and unsuitable permeability, restricting their application in advanced imaging technology and complex imaging. Over the past two decades, many efforts have been made to improve these performances of fluorophores. Starting with the luminescence principle of fluorophores, this review clarifies the mechanisms of the insufficient performance for traditional fluorophores to a certain extent, systematically summarizes the modified approaches of optimizing properties, highlights the typical applications of the improved fluorophores in imaging and sensing, and indicates existing problems and challenges in this area. This progress not only proves the significance of improving fluorophores properties, but also provide a theoretical guidance for the development of high-performance fluorophores.

Abstract
Formation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) is increasingly studied by the use of fluorescence spectroscopy, and most often, by measuring single excitation/emission pairs or use of unresolved spectra. However, due to the matrix complexity and potential co-formation of fluorescent oxidation products on tryptophan and tyrosine residues, this practice will often introduce errors in both identification and quantification. The present study investigates the combination of fluorescence excitation emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) to resolve the EEMs into its underlying fluorescent signals, allowing for better identification and quantification of MRPs. EEMs were recorded on a sample system of bovine serum albumin incubated at 40 °C for up to one week with either glucose, methylglyoxal or glyoxal added. Ten unique PARAFAC components were resolved, and assignment was attempted based on similarity with fluorescence of pure standards of MRPs and oxidation products and reported data from literature. Of the ten fluorescent PARAFAC components, tyrosine and buried and exposed tryptophan were resolved and identified, as well as the formation of specific MRPs (argpyrimidine and Nα-acetyl-Nδ-(5-methyl-4-imidazolon-2-yl)ornithine) and tryptophan oxidation products (kynurenine and dioxindolylalanine). The formation of the PARAFAC resolved protein modifications were qualitatively validated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Assembly ubiquitously occurs in nature and gives birth to numerous functional biomaterials and sophisticated organisms. In this work, chiral hydrogen-bonded organic-inorganic frameworks (HOIFs) are synthesized via biomimicking the self-assembly process from amino acids to proteins. Enjoying the homohelical configurations analogous to α-helix, the HOIFs exhibit remarkable chiroptical activity including the chiral fluorescence (glum = 1.7 × 10-3) that is untouched among the previously reported hydrogen-bonded frameworks. Benefitting from the dynamic feature of hydrogen bonding, HOIFs enable enantio-discrimination of chiral aliphatic substrates with imperceivable steric discrepancy based on fluorescent change. Moreover, the disassembled HOIFs after recognition applications are capable of being facilely regenerated and self-purified via aprotic solvent-induced reassembly, leading to at least three consecutive cycles without losing the enantioselectivity. The underlying mechanism of chirality bias is decoded by the experimental isothermal titration calorimetry together with theoretic simulation.

Abstract
Enriching the palette of high-performance fluorescent dyes is vital to support the frontier of biomedical imaging. Although various rhodamine skeletons remain the premier type of small-molecule fluorophores due to the apparent high brightness and flexible modifiability, they still suffer from the inherent defect of small Stokes shift due to the nonideal fluorescence imaging signal-to-background ratio. Especially, the rising class of fluorescent dyes, sulfone-substituted xanthone, exhibits great potential, but low chemical stability is also pointed out as the problem. Molecular engineering of sulfone-xanthone to obtain a large Stokes shift and high stability is highly desired, but it is still scarce. Herein, we present the combination modification method for optimizing the performance of sulfone-xanthone. These redesigned fluorescent skeletons owned greatly improved stability and Stokes shift compared with the parent sulfone-rhodamine. To the proof of bioimaging capacity, annexin protein-targeted peptide LS301 was introduced to the most promising dyes, J-S-ARh, to form the tumor-targeted fluorescent probe, J-S-LS301. The resulting probe, J-S-LS301, can be an outstanding fluorescence tool for the orthotopic transplantation tumor model of hepatocellular carcinoma imaging and on-site pathological analysis. In summary, the combination method could serve as a basis for rational optimization of sulfone-xanthone. Overall, the chemistry reported here broadens the scope of accessible sulfone-xanthone functionality and, in turn, enables to facilitate the translation of biomedical research toward the clinical domain.

Abstract
Metal ions and pesticides are extensively used in many industries and agriculture. However, they cause significant environmental pollution and various adverse health effects. Therefore, the development of sensitive and selective techniques to detect them is necessary for human health and the ecosystem. In this paper, we report a novel red-emitting fluorescence probe with a large Stokes shift (∼220 nm) based on rhodamine and isophorone units. The probe shows a ratiometric fluorescence response toward Hg2+ ions; however, Cu2+ ions quench the red fluorescence signal. The decomposition of the probe-Cu2+ complex allows detection of Thiram followed by recovery of the red fluorescence signal of the probe. In addition, the probe shows a good linear response to Hg2+, Cu2+, and Thiram, with detection limits of 122.0 nM, 29.0 nM, and 72.0 nM, respectively. The practical applicability of the probe has been successfully tested in real samples. Moreover, smartphone detection and light-responsive capsule fabrication have been established, for easy and quick detection. The probe possesses very low cytotoxicity and allows visualization of Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions in HeLa cells. Therefore, the present probe is expected to be an effective tool assisting in easy, quick, and reliable detection of Thiram, Hg2+, and Cu2+ ions.

Abstract
Aberrant lysosomal alkalization is associated with various biological processes, such as oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, ferroptosis, etc. Herein, we developed a novel aminofluorene-based fluorescence probe named FAN to monitor the lysosomal alkalization-related biological processes by its migration from lysosome to nucleus. FAN possessed NIR emission, large Stokes shift, high pH stability, and high photostability, making it suitable for real-time and long-term bioimaging. As a lysosomotropic molecule, FAN can accumulate in lysosomes first and then migrate to the nucleus by right of its binding capability to DNA after lysosomal alkalization. In this manner, FAN was successfully used to monitor these physiological processes which triggered lysosomal alkalization in living cells, including oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, and ferroptosis. More importantly, at higher concentrations, FAN could also serve as a stable nucleus dye for the fluorescence imaging of the nucleus in living cells and tissues. This novel multifunctional fluorescence probe shows great promise for application in lysosomal alkalization-related visual research and nucleus imaging.

Efforts toward PET-Activatable Red-Shifted Silicon Rhodamines and Silicon Pyronine Dyes. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:ph16030401.

Abstract
Tracers for bimodal optical imaging and positron emission tomography unite multiple advantages in a single molecule. Their tumor-specific uptake can be visualized after their PET activation by radiofluorination via PET/CT or PET/MRI allowing for staging or therapy planning, while their non-radioactive moiety additionally facilitates the visualization of malignant tissue during intraoperative fluorescence-guided surgery or in histological assessments. The silicon-bridged xanthene core offers the opportunity for radiofluorination with SiFA isotope exchange to obtain a small-molecule, PET-activatable NIR dye that can be linked to different target vectors. Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the PET-activation of a fluorinated silicon pyronine, belonging to a class of low-molecular-weight fluorescence dyes with a large Stokes shift (up to 129 nm) and solvent-dependent NIR dye properties, with a successful radiochemical conversion of 70%. The non-fluorinated pyronine precursor is easily accessible by a three-step sequence from commercially starting material with a 12% overall yield. Moreover, a library of seven unusually functionalized (by approximately 15 nm), red-shifted silicon rhodamines were synthesized in three- to four-step sequences and the optical properties of the novel dyes were characterized. It was also shown that the synthesized silicon rhodamine dyes can be easily conjugated by amide bond formation or ‘click-reaction’ approaches.

Abstract
The WMIS Education Committee (2019-2022) reached a consensus that white papers on molecular imaging could be beneficial for practitioners of molecular imaging at their early career stages and other scientists who are interested in molecular imaging. With this consensus, the committee plans to publish a series of white papers on topics related to the daily practice of molecular imaging. In this white paper, we aim to provide practical guidance that could be helpful for optical molecular imaging, particularly for small molecule probe development and validation in vitro and in vivo. The focus of this paper is preclinical animal studies with small-molecule optical probes. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging, bioluminescence imaging, chemiluminescence imaging, image-guided surgery, and Cerenkov luminescence imaging are discussed in this white paper.

Abstract
We designed caging-group-free photoactivatable live-cell permeant dyes with red fluorescence emission and ∼100 nm Stokes shifts based on a 1-vinyl-10-silaxanthone imine core structure. The proposed fluorophores undergo byproduct-free one- and two-photon activation, are suitable for multicolor fluorescence microscopy in fixed and living cells, and are compatible with super-resolution techniques such as STED (stimulated emission depletion) and PALM (photoactivated localization microscopy). Use of photoactivatable labels for strain-promoted tetrazine ligation and self-labeling protein tags (HaloTag, SNAP-tag), and duplexing of an imaging channel with another large Stokes shift dye have been demonstrated.

Abstract
2-R-1H-1,3-Benzazaphospholes (R-BAPs) are an interesting class of σ2P heterocycles containing P[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds. While closely related 2-R-1,3-benzoxaphospholes (R-BOPs) have been shown to be highly photoluminescent materials depending on specific R substituents, photoluminescence of R-BAPs has been previously limited to an example having a fused carbazole ring system. Here we detail the synthesis and structural characterization of a new R-BAP (3c, R = 2,2'-dithiophene), and compare its photoluminescence against two previously reported R-BAPs (3a, R, R' = Me and 3b, R = 2-thiophene). The significant fluorescence displayed by the thiophene derivatives 3b (φ = 0.53) and 3c (φ = 0.12) stands in contrast to the weakly emissive methyl substituted analogue 3a (φ = 0.08). Comparative computational investigations of 3a-c offer insights into the interplay between structure-function relationships affecting excited state relaxation processes.

Abstract
One-pot reductive N,N-dimethylation of suitable nitro- and amino-substituted (hetero)arenes can be achieved using a DMSO/HCOOH/Et3N system acting as a low-cost but efficient reducing and methylating agent. The transformation of heteroaryl-amines can be accelerated by using dimethyl sulfoxide/oxalyl chloride or chloromethyl methyl sulfide as the source of active CH3SCH2+ species, while the exclusion of HCOOH in the initial stage of the reaction allows avoiding N-formamides as resting intermediates. The developed procedures are applicable in multigram-scale synthesis, and because of the lower electrophilicity of CH3SCH2+, they also work in pathological cases, where common methylating agents provide N,N-dimethylated products in no yield or inferior yields due to concomitant side reactions. The method is particularly useful in one-pot reductive transformation of 2-H-nitrobenzazoles to corresponding N,N-dimethylamino-substituted heteroarenes. These, upon Cu(II)-catalyzed oxidative homocoupling, afford 2,2'-bibenzazoles substituted with dimethylamino groups as charge-transfer N^N ligands with intensive absorption/emission in the visible region. The fluorescence of NMe2-functionalized bibenzothiazoles remains intensive even upon complexation with ZnCl2, while emission maxima are bathochromically shifted from the green/yellow to orange/red spectral region, making these small-molecule fluorophores, exhibiting large emission quantum yields and Stokes shifts, an attractive platform for the construction of various functional dyes and light-harvesting materials with tunable emission color upon complexation.

Abstract
The controlled switching of fluorophores between non-fluorescent and fluorescent states is central to every super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (nanoscopy) technique, and the exploration of radically new switching mechanisms remains critical to boosting the performance of established, as well as emerging super-resolution methods. Photoactivatable dyes offer substantial improvements to many of these techniques, but often rely on photolabile protecting groups that limit their applications. Here we describe a general method to transform 3,6-diaminoxanthones into caging-group-free photoactivatable fluorophores. These photoactivatable xanthones (PaX) assemble rapidly and cleanly into highly fluorescent, photo- and chemically stable pyronine dyes upon irradiation with light. The strategy is extendable to carbon- and silicon-bridged xanthone analogues, yielding a family of photoactivatable labels spanning much of the visible spectrum. Our results demonstrate the versatility and utility of PaX dyes in fixed and live-cell labelling for conventional microscopy, as well as the coordinate-stochastic and deterministic nanoscopies STED, PALM and MINFLUX. ![]()
The design of photoactivatable fluorophores—which are required for some super-resolution fluorescence microscopy methods—usually relies on light-sensitive protecting groups imparting lipophilicity and generating reactive by-products. Now, it has been shown that by exploiting a unique intramolecular photocyclization, bright and highly photostable fluorophores can be rapidly generated in situ from appropriately substituted 1-alkenyl-3,6-diaminoxanthone precursors.

Abstract
A series of biophysical experiments like UV-Vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), competitive displacement assays, voltammetric studies, viscosity measurements and denaturation effect and metadynamics simulation studies were performed to establish the mode of binding of diafenthiuron (DF) insecticide with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). Analysis of absorption and fluorescence spectra in Tris-HCl buffer of pH 7.4 indicates the formation of a complex between DF and CT-DNA and the binding constant of which is in the order of 104 M-1. Competitive displacement assay with ethidium bromide (EB) and Hoechst 33258 suggests that the most probable mode of binding of DF with CT-DNA may be via intercalation mode. The results of other experiments such as CD spectral studies, viscosity measurements and the effect of denaturation agent urea support the intercalation of DF with CT-DNA. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔHo, ΔSo and ΔGo) reveal that hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) or van der Waals (vdW) force is the main binding force in the spontaneous interaction between DF and CT-DNA. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies confirmed the intercalation of DF into the base pairs of CT-DNA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The quality and application of super-resolution fluorescence imaging greatly lie in the dyes’ properties, including photostability, brightness, and Stokes shift. Here we report a synergistic strategy to simultaneously improve such properties of regular fluorophores. Introduction of quinoxaline motif with fine-tuned electron density to conventional rhodamines generates new dyes with vibration structure and inhibited twisted-intramolecular-charge-transfer (TICT) formation synchronously, thus increasing the brightness and photostability while enlarging Stokes shift. The new fluorophore YL578 exhibits around twofold greater brightness and Stokes shift than its parental fluorophore, Rhodamine B. Importantly, in Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy, YL578 derived probe possesses a superior photostability and thus renders threefold more frames than carbopyronine based probes (CPY-Halo and 580CP-Halo), known as photostable fluorophores for STED imaging. Furthermore, the strategy is well generalized to offer a new class of bright and photostable fluorescent probes with long Stokes shift (up to 136 nm) for bioimaging and biosensing. Super-resolution microscopy is a powerful tool for cellular studies but requires bright and stable fluorescent probes. Here, the authors report on a strategy to introduce quinoxaline motifs to conventional probes to make them brighter, more photostable, larger Stokes shift, and demonstrate the probes for biosensing applications.

Abstract
Fluorinated analogues of the fluorophore pyronin B were synthesized as a new class of amine-reactive drug-like small molecules. In water, 2,7-difluoropyronin B was found to reversibly react with primary amines to form covalent adducts. When this fluorinated analogue is added to proteins, these adducts undergo additional oxidation to yield fluorescent 9-aminopyronins. Irradiation with visible blue light enhances this oxidation step, providing a photochemical method to modify the biological properties of reactive amines. In living HeLa cells, 2,7-difluoropyronin B becomes localized in mitochondria, where it is partially transformed into fluorescent aminopyronins, as detected by spectral profiling confocal microscopy. Further excitation of these cells with the blue laser of a confocal microscope can depolarize mitochondria within seconds. This biological activity was only observed with 2,7-difluoropyronin B and was not detected with analogues such as pyronin B or 9-methyl-2,7-difluoropyronin B. This irradiation with blue light enhances the cellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting that increased ROS in mitochondria promotes the formation of aminopyronins that inactivate biomolecules critical for maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential. The unique reactivity of 2,7-difluoropyronin B offers a novel tool for photochemical control of mitochondrial biology.

Abstract
Bifunctional fluorescent molecular oxoanion probes based on the benzoxadiazole (BD) chromophore are described which integrate a thiourea binding motif and a polymerizable 2‐aminoethyl methacrylate unit in the 4,7‐positions of the BD core. Concerted charge transfer in this electron donor‐acceptor‐donor architecture endows the dyes with strongly Stokes shifted (up to >250 nm) absorption and fluorescence. Binding of electron‐rich carboxylate guests at the thiourea receptor leads to further analyte‐induced red‐shifts of the emission, shifting the fluorescence maximum of the complexes to ≥700 nm. Association constants for acetate are ranging from 1–5×105 M−1 in acetonitrile. Integration of one of the fluorescent probes through its polymerizable moiety into molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) grafted from the surface of submicron silica cores yielded fluorescent MIP‐coated particle probes for the selective detection of antibiotics containing aliphatic carboxylate groups such as enoxacin (ENOX) at micromolar concentrations in highly polar solvents like acetonitrile.

Molecular cosensitization is favorable for manipulating solar radiation through the judicious choice of cosensitizers having complementary absorption spectra. For greenhouse-integrated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), the manipulation of solar radiation is crucial in order to maximize the flow of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) for the effectual photosynthetic activity of plants; meanwhile, non-PAR is utilized in agrivoltaics for generating electricity. In this study, we report the synthesis of novel four UV-selective absorbers, based on the diimide scaffold, functionalized with carboxylate and pyridyl anchoring groups, for adequate adsorption onto the TiO2 electrode in DSC. The UV/Vis absorption spectra of the DMF solution-based free dyes were measured experimentally. Basic photophysical and energetics requirements for operating greenhouse-integrated DSCs were examined at the molecular level via (time-dependent) density functional theory-based calculations. The computational results revealed the outperformance of the biphenyldiimide-structured DI-CA1 dye, especially for maximum charge transferred to its anchor, lower thermodynamic barrier for dissociating the photogenerated exciton, largest Stokes' shift, strong electronic coupling with TiO2 nanoparticles, and higher degree of charge separation at the DI-CA1/TiO2 interface. PDOS showed deeper existence for the LUMO level in the CB of TiO2, which expedites the electron injection process. The chemical and optical compatibility of DI-CA1 were then investigated as a potential cosensitizer of a reference BTD-DTP1, a green light-absorbing dye. Considerable overlap between the fluorescence spectrum of DI-CA1 and absorption spectrum of the reference BTD-DTP1 advocated the opportunity of excitation energy transfer via the radiative trivial reabsorption mechanism, which confirms the cosensitization functionality. Energy decomposition analysis and reduced density gradient maps estimated the chemical compatibility owing to weak dispersion interactions as the dominant stabilizing attractive force. This noncovalent functionalization retains the chemical compatibility without distorting the π-π conjugation and the associated physicochemical properties of the individual dye molecules. Along with the expanded consumption of non-photosynthetically active solar radiation, an improved power conversion efficiency of greenhouse-integrated DSC is accordingly expected.

Abstract
The development of methodologies to sense glyphosate has gained momentum due to its toxicological and ecotoxicological effects. In this work, a red-emitting and polymerizable guanidinium benzoxadiazole probe was developed for the fluorescence detection of glyphosate. The interaction of the fluorescent probe and the tetrabutylammonium salt of glyphosate was studied via UV/vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy in chloroform and acetonitrile. The selective recognition of glyphosate was achieved by preparing molecularly imprinted polymers, able to discriminate against other common herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (dicamba), as thin layers on submicron silica particles. The limits of detection of 4.8 µM and 0.6 µM were obtained for the sensing of glyphosate in chloroform and acetonitrile, respectively. The reported system shows promise for future application in the sensing of glyphosate through further optimization of the dye and the implementation of a biphasic assay with water/organic solvent mixtures for sensing in aqueous environmental samples.

Abstract
An aminonaphthalimide-squaraine non-conjugated system was designed and synthetized with the purpose of preparing fluorescent molecule in the 650-700 nm region that could operate via energy transfer (ET) between covalently linked naphthalimide and squaraine chromophores. The photophysical properties of the new fluorescent system were explored with the aim of understanding the ET in one- and two-photon excitation modes. The spectroscopic techniques employed in the characterization includes; absorption, fluorescence, quantum yields and fluorescence lifetime measurements in different solvents. The effect of polarity of solvents on efficiencies of ET were evaluated using one- and two-photon excited fluorescence. The optical behavior of the non-conjugated system was compared with its individual squaraine and naphthalimide moieties. The two-photon absorption (TPA) spectrum of the molecule was obtained between 750 and 1040 nm, with the largest two-photon cross section (δTPA)above 4200 GM. Finally, the applicability of the molecule for fluorescence imaging in the one- and two-photon excitation mode was demonstrated in N13 Microglial cells. The in vitro and in vivo confocal microscopy studies indicated that the non-conjugated system efficiently accumulated in the cytoplasm suggesting it could be utilized as a subcellular probe.

Abstract
The last three decades have brought a revolution in fluorescence microscopy. The development of new microscopes, fluorescent labels and analysis techniques has pushed the frontiers of biological imaging forward, moving from fixed to live cells, from diffraction-limited to super-resolution imaging and from simple cell culture systems to experiments in vivo. The large and ever-evolving collection of tools can be daunting for biologists, who must invest substantial time and effort in adopting new technologies to answer their specific questions. This is particularly relevant when working with small-molecule fluorescent labels, where users must navigate the jargon, idiosyncrasies and caveats of chemistry. Here, we present an overview of chemical dyes used in biology and provide frank advice from a chemist's perspective.

Abstract
Non-invasive dynamic tracking of lysosomes and their interactions with other organelles is important for the study of lysosomal function and related diseases. However, many fluorescent dyes developed so far to target lysosomes cannot be used to monitor these processes due to the high concentrations required for imaging, long cell penetration times, and non-ideal photostability. In this regard, we synthesized three lysosomal targeting probes with large Stokes shifts, good stability, and high brightness. The Q-P-ARh , developed by us for the first time, can stain lysosomes at ultra-low concentrations (1.0 nM) without affecting the physiological functions of the lysosomes. More importantly, its excellent anti-interference ability and ultrafast lysosomal staining ability (within 1.0 min) clearly monitored the entire dynamic process of lipophagy. Ultimately, this method can greatly contribute to the study of autophagy pathways. This novel fluorescence platform shows great promise for the development of biological probes for application in pathological environments.

Abstract
We have implemented pseudospectral density-functional theory (DFT) with long-range corrected DFT functionals (PS-LRC) in quantum mechanics package Jaguar, and applied it in the calculations of geometry optimizations, dimmer interaction energies, polarizabilities and first-order hyperpolarizabilities, harmonic vibrational frequencies, S1 and T1 excitation energies, singlet-triplet gaps, charge transfer numbers, oscillator strengths, reaction barrier heights, electron-transfer couplings, and charge-transfer excitation energies. From our accuracy benchmark analysis, PS grids, PS dealiasing functions, PS atomic corrections, PS multigrid strategy, PS length scales, and PS cutoff scheme perform well in PS DFT with LRC density functionals with very small and ignorable deviations when compared to the conventional spectral (CS) method. The timing benchmark study of S1 excitation energy calculations of fullerenes (Cn , n up to 540) demonstrates that PS-LRC achieves 1.4-8.4-fold speedups in SCF, 22-32-fold speedups in Tamm-Dancoff approximation, and 6-15-fold speedups in total wall clock time with an average error 0.004 eV of excitation energies compared to the CS method.

Abstract
The challenges faced with current fluorescence imaging agents have motivated us to study two nanostructures based on a hydrophobic dye, 6H-pyrrolo[3,2-b:4,5-b']bis [1,4]benzothiazine (TRPZ). TRPZ is a heteroacene with a rigid, pi-conjugated structure, multiple reactive sites, and unique spectroscopic properties. Here we coupled TRPZ to a tert-butyl carbamate (BOC) protected 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propanoic acid (bisMPA) dendron via azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition. Deprotection of the protected amine groups on the dendron afforded a cationic terminated amphiphile, TRPZ-bisMPA. TRPZ-bisMPA was nanoprecipitated into water to obtain nanoparticles (NPs) with a hydrodynamic radius that was <150 nm. For comparison, TRPZ-PG was encapsulated in pluronic-F127 (Mw = 12 kD), a polymer surfactant to afford NPs almost twice as large as those formed by TRPZ-bisMPA. Size and stability studies confirm the suitability of the TRPZ-bisMPA NPs for biomedical applications. The photophysical properties of the TRPZ-bisMPA NPs show a quantum yield of 49%, a Stokes shift of 201 nm (0.72 eV) and a lifetime of 6.3 ns in water. Further evidence was provided by cell viability and cellular uptake studies confirming the low cytotoxicity of TRPZ-bisMPA NPs and their potential in bioimaging.

Abstract
The accuracy and efficiency of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) excited state gradient calculations using the pseudospectral method are presented. TDDFT excited state geometry optimizations of the G2 test set molecules, the organic fluorophores with large Stokes shifts, and the Pt-complexes show that the pseudospectral method gives average errors of 0.01-0.1 kcal/mol for the TDDFT excited state energy, 0.02-0.06 pm for the bond length, and 0.02-0.12° for the bond angle when compared to the results from conventional TDDFT. TDDFT gradient calculations of fullerenes (Cn, n up to 540) with the B3LYP functional and 6-31G** basis set show that the pseudospectral method provides 8- to 14-fold speedups in the total wall clock time over the conventional methods. The pseudospectral TDDFT gradient calculations with a diffuse basis set give higher speedups than the calculations for the same basis set without diffuse functions included.

Abstract
Formylation of 2,6-dichloro-5-R-nicotinic acids at C-4 followed by condensation with 3-hydroxy-N,N-dimethylaniline gave analogs of the popular TAMRA fluorescent dye with a 2,6-dichloro-5-R-nicotinic acid residues (R=H, F). The following reaction with thioglycolic acid is selective, involves only one chlorine atom at the carbon between pyridine nitrogen and the carboxylic acid group and affords new rhodamine dyes absorbing at 564/ 573 nm and emitting at 584/ 597 nm (R=H/ F, in aq. PBS). Conjugates of the dyes with "small molecules" provided specific labeling (covalent and non-covalent) of organelles as well as of components of the cytoskeleton in living cells and were combined with fluorescent probes prepared from 610CP and SiR dyes and applied in two-color STED microscopy with a 775 nm STED laser.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of fused azapolycycles based on (benz)imidazole and pyridine scaffolds has been developed. In all cases, the first nucleophilic addition of (benz)imidazoles to alkynyl bromides in tert-pentyl alcohol can proceed in a stereoselective manner to provide (Z)-N-(1-bromo-1-alken-2-yl)benzimidazoles at 110 °C. Sequentially, these adducts containing alkenyl bromide can undergo Pd-catalyzed intermolecular C-H annulation in the presence of internal alkynes in dimethylacetamide, affording fluorescent (benz)imidazole-fused pyridines in good to high yields. These compounds generally exhibit blue or green fluorescences (454-503 nm for solution states and 472-506 nm for solid states), and the fluorescence quantum yields remained in 0.19-0.89 and 0.02-0.74 for solution and solid states, respectively.

Abstract
Reactions of penta-2,4-dienethioamides with acetylenedicarboxylic acid, methyl and ethyl esters, and methyl propiolate were systematically studied, and a number of new 2,3-dihydro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines (DTPs) and 4H,6H-pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazines (PTZs) were prepared. A possible mechanism for a multistep domino transformation is suggested, and the key step is the 1,6-electrocyclic reaction. An additional alternative method for the synthesis of new heterocyclic systems was achieved. Evidence of the electrocyclic mechanism of a key step was collected from the analysis of the spatial structure of the synthesized bicyclic nonaromatic pyridines by X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical calculations, as well as from the thermodynamic quantities. DTPs exhibited yellow fluorescence in solution and yellow to red emissions in the solid state. Biological investigations demonstrated the ability of DTPs to penetrate living and fixed cells and presumably accumulate in lysosomes.

Abstract
Most biological molecules are intrinsically non- or weakly-fluorescent, hence requiring labeling with an external fluorophore(s) to be studied via fluorescence-based techniques. However, such labeling could perturb the native property of the system in question. One effective strategy to minimize such undesirable perturbation is to use fluorophores that are simple analogs of natural amino acids. In this chapter, we describe the synthesis and spectroscopic utility of two indole-based fluorophores, 4-cynaotryprophan (4CN-Trp) and 4-cyanoindole-2'-deoxyribonucleoside (4CNI-NS), with a focus on 4CN-Trp. This unnatural amino acid, which is only slightly larger than its natural counterpart, tryptophan (Trp), exhibits unique photophysical properties, making it a versatile fluorophore in biological spectroscopic and imaging applications. Through several specific examples, we highlight its broad utility in the study of various biological problems and processes.

Abstract
Organic fluorophores emitting in the far-red/near-infrared (NIR) wavelength region are in great demand for minimal autofluorescence and reduced light scattering in deep tissue or whole body imaging. Currently, only a few classes of far-red/NIR fluorophores are available including widely used cyanine dyes, which are susceptible to photobleaching and form nonfluorescent aggregates. Even rare are those far-red/NIR emitting dyes that have two-photon imaging capability. Here we report a new class of far-red/NIR-emitting dyes that are photo-stable, very bright, biocompatible, and also two-photon absorbing. The introduction of an electron-withdrawing group such as N-acyl or N-alkoxycarbonyl groups on the C-10-amino substituent of the new julolidine-derived amino-Si-pyronin dyes (ASiPj), which emit in the far-red region, causes large bathochromic shifts, leading to NIR-emitting amino-Si-pyronin dyes (NIR-ASiPj) having high cellular stability. Furthermore, the ASiPj-NIR-ASiPj couple offers a novel ratiometric bioimaging platform with a large spectral gap, as demonstrated here with a boronate-containing NIR-ASiPj derivative that is converted to the corresponding ASiPj dye upon reaction with hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes that can distinguish different DNA topologies through changes in optical readout are sought after for DNA-based diagnostics. In this work, the 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) chromophore attached to cyanophenyl substituents (BODIPY-CN) has been tethered to the 5'-end of the 15-mer thrombin binding aptamer (TBA) that contains the guanine (G) nucleobase. TBA folds into a unimolecular antiparallel G-quadruplex (GQ) upon binding thrombin and certain metal ions. The 5'-BODIPY-CN-TBA sample possesses a Stokes shift of ~40 nm with wavelengths of excitation/emission at 550/590 nm and exhibits a 2-fold increase in emission intensity compared to the free BODIPY-CN in aqueous buffer that possesses a brightness (εΦfl) of ~16,956 M-1. cm-1. However, when 5'-BODIPY-CN-TBA is base-paired to a complementary strand in the B-form duplex, the emission of the BODIPY-CN end-label increases 7-fold, 14-fold compared to the free-dye. This signal-on response enables the BODIPY-CN end-label to serve as a quencher-free fluorescent probe for monitoring duplex-GQ exchange. The visible end-label minimally perturbs GQ stability and thrombin binding affinity, and the modified TBA can act as a combinatorial logic circuit having INHIBIT logic functions. These attributes make BODIPY-CN a highly useful end-label for creating nanomolecular devices derived from G-rich oligonucleotides.
