Optically-Active Nanocrystals for Inner Filter Effect-Based Fluorescence Sensing: Achieving Better Spectral Overlap
摘要： Among various photophysical processes for fluorescence modulation, inner filter effect (IFE) is well-known for its simplicity and no requirement of the distances between the fluorophores and the corresponding modulators. Theoretically, the key to maximize the sensitivity of IFE-based fluorescent assays is to enlarge the overlap between the absorption of the absorber and the excitation/emission of the fluorophores. However, it is difficult to achieve perfect spectral overlap for IFE in conventional organic fluorophores with constant excitation/emission. The emergence of various optically-active nanocrystals greatly revolutionize the IFE-based fluorescent sensing. Therefore in this critical review, we first made an introduction to IFE from the viewpoint of its photophysical process. Particularly, the similarities and differences of IFE and FRET for better understanding of IFE are discussed, and the general rules for verification of IFE are proposed. The use of various optically-active nanocrystals for enhanced IFE-based sensing is especially concerned in this review.

Photochemistry and Photophysics - Fundamentals to Applications || Tailoring the Photophysical Signatures of BODIPY Dyes: Toward Fluorescence Standards across the Visible Spectral Region
摘要： The modern synthetic routes in organic chemistry, as well as the recent advances in high-resolution spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, have awakened a renewable interest in the development of organic fluorophores. In this regard, boron-dipyrrin (BODIPY) dyes are ranked at the top position as luminophores to be applied in photonics or biophotonics. This chromophore outstands not only by its excellent and tunable photophysical signatures, but also by the chemical versatility of its core, which is readily available to a myriad of functionalization routes. In this chapter, we show that, after a rational design, bright and photostable BODIPYs can be achieved along the whole visible spectral region, being suitable as molecular probes or active media of lasers. Alternatively, the selective functionalization of the dipyrrin core, mainly at meso position, can induce new photophysical phenomena (such as charge transfer) paving the way to the development of fluorescent sensors, where the fluorescent response is sensitive to a specific environmental property.
