Chemical sensing and imaging using fluorophore-conjugated cellulose nanocrystals

Design of N-heterocycle based-phthalonitrile/metal phthalocyanine–silver nanoconjugates for cancer therapies

“…These compounds have been remarkably interesting for researchers since they exhibit unique chemical, physical, spectral, and biological properties. Therefore, the possibility and potential of their utility have been studied in a wide range of scientific applications including chemical sensors, 12 electrochromic devices, 13 nonlinear optics, 14 electrocatalytic reagents, 15 and solar cells. 16 Although a lack of solubility is a disadvantage for Pcs, this problem can be overcome with the substitution of bulk/long groups such as alkyl, phenoxy, alkoxy, and alkylthio groups.…”
