Abstract

Small-molecule organic dyes have been widely used in fluorescent probes,[1] labels,[2] logic gates,[3] light-emitting materials,[4] and light-harvesting systems.[5] However, the undesirable photophysical properties of various fluorophores still constrain the full potential of their applications. For instance, many bright organic dyes including rhodamine, fluorescein, boron dipyrromethane (BODIPY), and cyanine derivatives have the serious ...
