TL;DR: In this article, a review of various strategies to design the fluorescent probes for detecting formaldehyde based on different recognition groups is presented, focusing on different strategies to detect formaldehyde in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: Several representative studies have led the development of responsive organic chromic materials with near-infrared emission, and some of them have received rewards with excellent fingdings as mentioned in this paper, while further in-depth explorations about the inherent chromic chromism are underway.

TL;DR: A difluorobenzothiadiazole-based fluorescent material that exhibits a reversible mechanofluorochromic characteristic in the solid state switches to near-infrared fluorescence upon mechanical stimulation, but recover after fuming the ground solid powder with dichloromethane.

TL;DR: A naphthalimide-modified near-infrared cyanine dye with an emission at 785 nm has been synthesized for lysosome-targeting imaging and indicated that the probe is a promising contrast agent for in vivo imaging in mouse models.

TL;DR: This dye shows an obvious aggregation-induced-emission behavior and exhibits a reversible mechanochromism with the changes of near-infrared emission and can be used to track the lysosomes of living cells and images in vivo.
