TL;DR: A Cu(II)-sensing, ratiometric, and selective fluorescent sensor 1, N-butyl-4,5-di[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-1,8-naphthalimide, was designed and synthesized on the basis of the mechanism of internal charge transfer (ICT).

TL;DR: Based on the hypoxia prodrug moiety of p-nitrobenzyl, a selective ratiometric fluorescent sensor (RHP) was designed and synthesized and results in an evident blue to green fluorescent emission wavelength change in both solution phases and in cell lines, which might be the first fluorescentRatiometric probe for Hypoxia in solid tumors.

TL;DR: Novel isomeric fluorine-boron complexes with donor-acceptor architecture with significant features, such as strong solid and liquid fluorescence, unusual large Stokes shifts, and lower LUMO levels and higher HOMO levels, are observed in these potential multifunctional molecules.

TL;DR: A light-harvesting system containing three kinds of BODIPY fluorophores was synthesized that exhibited very strong absorption in the region from 300 to 700 nm, and the energy transfer within it was highly efficient.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 4-N,N-dimethylaminoethylene-1,8-naphthalimide (PAMAM) was synthesized with designed fluorescent intensity and high sensitiveness to the presence of protons or transition metal cations.
