In this tutorial review, we intend to provide the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the photophysical properties of organic compounds with a specific focus on anthracene and its derivatives. Anthracene-based building blocks have attracted t...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment that utilizes photosensitizing agents, along with light, to produce reactive oxygen species that can kill nearby cells. When the photosensitizer is exposed to a specific wavelength of light, it become...
The dependence of photochemistry on excitation wavelength is not a recently observed phenomenon; nonetheless, it has, surprisingly enough, been largely ignored in the field. The reasons for this situation are not fully understood but might be related...
In this study, opal–magnetite photocatalysts based on SiO2 artificial opal crystals infiltrated with different concentrations of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a combination of lateral infiltration and co-assembly methods. By...
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool for biosensing with high sensitivity, selectivity, and capability of multiplex monitoring for both in vivo and in vitro studies. This has been applied for the identification and detection of...
Multidrug resistance of pathogenic microflora is a serious threat to the modern community looking for new approaches to treating superinfections. In this sense, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is an effective and safe technique considered t...
A combined spectroscopic and computational approach has been used to study in detail the complexation between Ga(III) and ARS in solution. The NMR results revealed the formation of four Ga(III)/ARS complexes, at pH 4, differing in their metal:ligand...
A Sn(IV) meso-tetra(4-methylthiolphenyl) N-confused porphyrin (4-Sn) complex was prepared to facilitate a comparison of the photophysicochemical and singlet oxygen photosensitiser properties of a series of Sn(IV) complexes of meso-4-methylthiolphenyl...
Due to their excellent properties and unique structures, transition metal sulfides play an important role in the development of efficient and stable photoelectric catalysts. In recent years, their potential applications have expanded from photoelectr...
Carbazole-based molecular units are ubiquitous in organic optoelectronic materials; however, the excited-state relaxation of these compounds is still underexplored. Here, we provide a detailed investigation of carbazole (Cz) and 3,6-di-tert-butylcarb...
