Optoacoustic imaging has great potential for preclinical research and clinical practice, and designing robust activatable optoacoustic probes for specific diseases is beneficial for its further development. Herein, an activatable probe has been developed for tumor hypoxia imaging. For this probe, indole and quinoline were linked on each side of an oxocyclobutenolate core to form an unsymmetrical squaraine. A triarylamine group was incorporated to endow the molecule with the aggregation enhanced emission (AEE) properties. In aqueous media, the squaraine chromophore aggregates into the nanoprobe, which specifically responds to nitroreductase and produces strong optoacoustic signals due to its high extinction coefficient, as well as prominent fluorescence emission as a result of its AEE feature. The nanoprobe was used to image tumor metastasis via the lymphatic system both optoacoustically and fluorescently. Moreover, both the fluorescence signals and three-dimensional multispectral optoacoustic tomography signals from the activated nanoprobe allow us to locate the tumor site and to map the metastatic route.

The synthesis and full characterization of new half-squaraine dyes (Hf-SQ) containing two or three carboxylate-based linker units is reported and these dyes tested in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) devices. The data show improved device efficiency for a Hf-SQ dye with two linkers (η = 5.5%) compared to the highest efficiency Hf-SQ previously reported which had only a single linker (η = 5.0%); this is mainly due to improved Voc. To understand the effects of using multiple dye linker groups, device I-V data have been correlated with single crystal X-ray structural analysis and dye electrical properties (both in solution and adsorbed to TiO2) using UV-visible and ATR-IR spectroscopy along with cyclic voltammetry, and also theoretical studies using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These data show that positioning the linkers near the dye LUMO and so that this enables complete linker chemisorption are key factors for device performance.

The impact on chiral aggregation in solution processed and thermally annealed thin films of two indolenine and one anilino squaraines with chiral (S)-citronellyl functionalization at the nitrogen of the squaraine backbone is investigated. A pseudo polymor

Paragraph 0023, (2021/09/08)
The invention discloses a near-infrared double-acid dye connected with an oxygen ether chain, and preparation and application thereof. The 2 -methylbenzothiazole derivative and dicyanovinyl modified semiaromatic acid derivative which is linked with an oxygen ether chain is prepared from a raw material. The near-infrared both-side acid dye has good stability and excellent optical performance, and especially the introduction of a sulfonic acid group and an oxygen ether chain can enhance the water solubility of the dye. When the near-infrared double-acid dye is used for detection G - quadruplex, G - quadruplex can interact with the dye molecules, and the change of the dye absorption spectrum and the fluorescence spectrum is caused while G - quadruplex topological structure changes, so that the dye can be used as G - quadruplex. Fluorescent probes for detection.
