All organisms store the information necessary to maintain life in their DNA. Any process that damages DNA, causing a loss or corruption of information, jeopardizes viability organism. One-electron oxidation is such process. In this Account, we address three central features one-electron DNA: (i) migration radical cation away from site its formation; (ii) electronic and structural factors determine nucleobases at which irreversible reactions most readily occur; (iii) mechanism reaction for...
Although luminescence spectroscopy has been a promising sensing technology with widespread applications in point-of-care diagnostics and chem-bio detection, it fundamentally suffers from low signal collection efficiency, considerable background noise, poor photostability, intrinsic omnidirectional emission properties. In this regard, surface plasmon-coupled emission, versatile plasmon-enhanced detection platform >50% high directionality, polarization previously explored to amplify the limit...

The influence π-spacer acceptor units on the photophysical, electrochemical, thermal properties dyes was investigated in detail. incorporation coumarin results significant increase fluorescence quantum yield. In solution phase, absorption emission dye TB show bathochromic...
Abstract Fluorescent organic materials that exhibit unique aggregation‐induced emission have been utilized for various applications, including white light (WLE). The typically rely on composite designs involving a mixture of compounds emitting at different wavelengths light. To overcome the limitations offered by design such mixtures, tremendous efforts were also emphasized in developing single‐molecule substrates emit either method is controlled solvent polarity, energy and charge transfer,...
The escalating concern about ohmic losses in metal-dependent plasmonics demands more effective material fabrication for the development of biosensing frameworks. omnidirectionality and low signal collection efficiency a conventional fluorescence-based detection platform make it challenging to realize better sensitivity real-time point-of-care diagnostics. In an attempt address these demands, recently photonic crystal-coupled emission (PCCE) has been demonstrated outperform well-established...

A series of α-cyanostilbenes substituted with dimethylaniline, diphenylaniline and carbazole was synthesized their optical spectroscopic properties in homogeneous solvents, the dioxane–water binary mixture solid state were investigated. Stilbenes (1 4) exhibit weak emission behavior solvents but show remarkable red-shifted along enhanced intensity water state. This phenomenon is due to aggregation induced effect. Other stilbenes also significant solvatochromic have similar characteristics...
The unique functionality of metallic and dielectric nanomaterials to generate intense electromagnetic field localization termed "hotspots" has been exploited in numerous luminescence-based biosensing applications. To obtain an amplified, sharply directional, polarized emission, tunable size shape morphologies have evaluated the surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE) platform. Although such studies significantly facilitated biosensor modalities, inevitable parasitic Ohmic losses...

Abstract Breast cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer‐related deaths in women worldwide, with ≈70% cases linked to overexpression Estrogen Receptor (ERα). Existing imaging tools often fail reliably differentiate between ER‐positive and ER‐negative cells. To address this limitation, two novel fluorescent probes, E2N E2R , are synthesized by conjugating estradiol styryl rhodamine‐based fluorophores using click chemistry. These probes characterized their photophysical...
