Near-infrared metal agents assisting precision medicine: from strategic design to bioimaging and therapeutic applications

“…118 This Fig. 4 Chemical structures and maximum absorption/emission wavelengths of NIR-I Ir(III) polypyridine complexes (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…3 In the field of metal coordination chemistry, the breadth and depth of research on molecular metal complexes (MMCs), metal-organic complexes (MOCs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become progressively apparent owing to their versatile and controllable structures as well as diverse applications in medicine, chemical biology, molecular imaging, sensing, catalysis, energy storage and environmental chemistry in more recent decades. [4][5][6][7][8] The first structure-defined MMC, arsphenamine containing metallic arsenic, was identified at the turn of 20th century. 9 After that, arsenic-containing molecular complexes were constructed to study structure-activity relationship and Salvarsan was chosen for syphilis treatment.…”

Host–Guest Photosensitizer of a Cationic BODIPY Derivative and Cucurbit[7]uril for High-Efficiency Visible Light-Induced Photooxidation Reactions

“…Additionally, in its role as a photosystem, it has the ability to facilitate both type I and type II photooxidation reactions. The applications of this approach have been observed in various domains, including fluorescence imaging, probe labeling, ion recognition, pH recognition, photodynamic therapy (PDT), materials science, and other related disciplines. ,− Although there have been numerous studies on the various applications of BODIPY, there is an insufficient amount of research on its direct use as a PC for organic reactions. For example, Hu and co-workers fabricated supramolecular assembly through host–guest interactions between water-soluble pillar[5]­arene and an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer, which exhibit the ability to effectively generate 1 O 2 and can be used as PCs for the conversion of dopamine to polydopamine .…”

Construction of 1,3,5-Triazine-Based Prisms and Their Enhanced Solid-State Emissions

“…In nature, the coordination of metal ions with organic substrates has been exploited to create various functional compounds, such as chlorophyll, vitamin B 12 , hemoglobin, etc. Compared to other weak noncovalent interactions, coordination bonds are advantageous in terms of their directionality and predictability. − Inspired by nature, chemists have utilized coordination-driven self-assembly strategies to construct discrete architectures from two-dimensional (2D) rings to three-dimensional (3D) cages with precise sizes and shapes, − which have applications in areas such as catalysis, cancer treatment, and optical materials; , among these architectures, 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (tpy) as a building block has gained widespread attention owing to its remarkable binding ability to different transition-metal ions. ,− Compared to 2D rings, 3D nanocages demonstrate promising applications for anion recognition, − C 60 encapsulation, − and controlled release − because of their regular configuration with fixed-size cavities that can selectively encapsulate guest molecules …”
