Combined near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence and photoacoustic imaging techniques present promising capabilities for noninvasive visualization of biological structures. Development of bimodal noninvasive optical imaging ...

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are excellent candidates for various applications. So far, successful methods for the constructions of COFs have been limited to a few condensation reactions based on only one type of ...

Glutamate receptor antagonists have been known to play a crucial role in the treatment of many neuronal diseases. Recently, these antagonists have also shown therapeutic effects in the treatment of cancer. In this study, ...

Strong multiphoton absorption and harmonic generation in organic fluorescent chromophores are, respectively, significant in many fields of research. However, most of fluorescent chromophores fall short of the full potential ...

An imine-based nitrogen-rich covalent-organic framework (COF) was successfully synthesized using two triangular building units under solvothermal reaction condition. The gas adsorption properties of the obtained microporous ...

Intracellular, reduction-responsive, amphiphilic, copolymer micelles with cancer cell specificity were developed. The copolymer was prepared with controlled molecular weight and functionalities using a double-headed initiator ...

Interpenetrated metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are often observed to show lower porosity than their non-interpenetrating analogues. It would be highly desirable if the interpenetrated MOFs could still provide high stability, ...

An imine-based approach was developed to prepare Janus gold nanoparticles (Janus AuNPs) having amine functionality on one patch of the surface and a polyethylene glycol unit on the other. This unique technique features ...

A versatile heterogeneous photocatalysis protocol was developed by using ruthenium bipyridyl tethered porous organosilica (Ru-POS). The versatility of the Ru-POS catalyst in organo-photocatalysis was explored by (i) oxidative ...
