Abstract
A series of nitrogen-bridged BODIPY oligomers were synthesized via nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) as a convenient approach. Further transformations achieved novel α,α-aryl BODIPY dimers as well as a BODIPY hexamer efficiently. These BODIPY oligomers showed good photophysical properties, such as apparent absorption and emission both in visible and near-infrared regions. Interestingly, the high air and photothermal stability, strong NIR absorption, and high photothermal conversion rates of hexamer B6 suggest potential applications in photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Fluorophores are considered powerful tools for not only enabling the visualization of cell structures, substructures, and biological processes, but also making for the quantitative and qualitative measurement of various analytes in living systems. However, most fluorophores do not meet the diverse requirements for biological applications in terms of their photophysical and biological properties. Hybridization is an important strategy in molecular engineering that provides fluorophores with complementarity and multifunctionality. This review summarizes the basic strategies of hybridization with four classes of fluorophores, including xanthene, cyanine, coumarin, and BODIPY with a focus on their structure-property relationship (SPR) and biological applications. This review aims to provide rational hybrid ideas for expanding the reservoir of knowledge regarding fluorophores and promoting the development of newly produced fluorophores for applications in the field of life sciences.

Abstract
The tandem intramolecular hydroarylation of alkynes accompanied by a 1,2-aryl shift is described. Harnessing the unique electron-rich character of 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole scaffold, we demonstrate that the hydroarylation of alkynes proceeds at the already occupied positions 2 and 5 leading to a 1,2-aryl shift. Remarkably, the reaction proceeds only in the presence of cationic gold catalyst, and it leads to heretofore unknown π-expanded, centrosymmetric pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrroles. The utility is verified in the preparation of 13 products that bear six conjugated rings. The observed compatibility with various functional groups allows for increased tunability with regard to the photophysical properties as well as providing sites for further functionalization. Computational studies of the reaction mechanism revealed that the formation of the six-membered rings accompanied with a 1,2-aryl shift is both kinetically and thermodynamically favourable over plausible formation of products containing 7-membered rings. Steady-state UV/Visible spectroscopy reveals that upon photoexcitation, the prepared S-shaped N-doped nanographenes undergo mostly radiative relaxation leading to large fluorescence quantum yields. Their optical properties are rationalized through time-dependent density functional theory calculations. We anticipate that this chemistry will empower the creation of new materials with various functionalities.

Abstract
A series of diphenylboron-chelating N-substituent 8-aminoquinoline, 5-aminoquinoxaline, and 1-aminophenazine were prepared. They exhibit lowest energy absorption peaks of 444-766 nm, emission peaks of 563-820 nm, and quantum yields of up to 46.5%. Electrochemical and theoretical studies indicate that the N-substituent mainly determines the HOMO and the framework determines the LUMO, thus allowing for a wide-tuning of absorptions/emissions. Intramolecular charge transfer transition leads to large Stokes shifts of up to 166 nm. One selected compound showed satisfactory cytocompatibility and cytoplasm-targeting cell imaging ability.

Abstract
The peripheral borylation of porphyrinoids has become a key step to prepare advanced functional materials. This study reports the synthesis, electronic properties, and reactivity of borylated subphthalocyanines. These compounds, which are prepared by Suzuki-Miyaura borylation in excellent yields, are easily purified, display a great stability, and serve as powerful starting materials for the post-functionalization of SubPcs via cross-coupling reactions. Remarkably, this novel approach is more efficient than the methodologies already described and enables the preparation of exotic systems, such as SubPc dimeric species linked by C-C bonds, which are not accessible so far and present promising properties for optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
A photochrmic triangle terthiophene dye with 2,4-dimethylthiazole attached was synthesized and shows regular photochromic properties when irradiated with UV/Vis light alternately. It was found that the attaching of 2,4-dimethylthiazole has a significant effect on both the photochromism and fluorescence of triangle terthiophene. During the photocyclizatioin prcess, not only the color but also the fluorescence of the dye in THF can be toggled between ring-open and ring-closed forms of the dye. Additionally, the absolute quantum yields (AQY) of ring-open and ring-closed forms of the dye (0.32/0.58) were greatly larger than the literature report. Along with the 254 nm light irradiation, the fluorescence color changed from deep blue (428 nm) to sky blue (486 nm) in THF. A fluorochromism cycle could be established based on the UV/visible light irradiation cycle, which provides a strategy for the design of new type fluorescent diarylethene derivatives for biological application.

Abstract
Organic/polymer light-emitting diodes (OLEDs/PLEDs) have attracted a rising number of investigations due to their promising applications for high-resolution fullcolor displays and energy-saving solid-state lightings. Near-infrared (NIR) emitting dyes have gained increasing attention for their potential applications in electroluminescence and optical imaging in optical tele-communication platforms, sensing and medical diagnosis in recent decades. And a growing number of people focus on the "heavy metal-free" NIR electroluminescent materials to gain more design freedom with cost advantage. This review presents recent progresses in conjugated polymers and organic molecules for OLEDs/PLEDs according to their different luminous mechanism and constructing systems. The relationships between the organic fluorophores structures and electroluminescence properties are the main focus of this review. Finally, the approaches to enhance the performance of NIR OLEDs/PLEDs are described briefly. We hope that this review could provide a new perspective for NIR materials and inspire breakthroughs in fundamental research and applications.
