Investigations about the Chemistry of Tetraarylethene- and Iridium-Based Luminophores

The work described in this thesis focuses on two classes of luminophores: tetraarylethene-based polymers and Ir(III) complexes with orthometalated ligands. Tetraarylethene-based polymers show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and they are of interest for ...

Symmetry-Induced Singlet-Triplet Inversions in Non-Alternant Hydrocarbons

Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

Molecules with inversion of the singlet and triplet excited-state energies are highly promising for the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). To date, azaphenalenes are the only class of molecules where these inversions have been identified ...

Impact of chlorination and ozonation of dissolved organic matter on its photo-induced production of long-lived photooxidants and excited triplet states

Urs von Gunten, Joanna Maria Houska, Silvio Canonica, Stephanie Christa Remke

Recent studies suggested that long-lived photooxidants (LLPO), which are reactive intermediates formed during irradiation of dissolved organic matter (DOM), may consist of phenoxyl radicals derived from phenolic moieties of the DOM. Besides the well-studie ...

Porphyrin metalla-assemblies coupled to cellulose nanocrystals for PDT and imaging applications

Georges Wagnières

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an interesting and promising approach to tackle a broad spectrum of cancer. With the combination of a photosensitizer, light and oxygen, PDT achieves a unique selectivity by the production of localized reactive oxygen species ...

Acid-base-induced fac → mer isomerization of luminescent iridium(iii) complexes

Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Albert Ruggi, Anastasia Gitlina, Carolina Luciana Plaice

Luminescent Ir(C^N)3 complexes (C^N = cyclometalated arylpyridine ligand) exist in the form of two stable isomers with distinct photophysical and electrochemical properties: fac and mer. Herein, we show that fac-Ir(C^N)3 complexes can be converted into the ...

Stimulation and homogenization of the protoporphyrin IX endogenous production by photobiomodulation to increase the potency of photodynamic therapy

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli, Cyrus Kazemiraad

Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is produced in the mitochondria and used as fluorescent contrast agent or photosensitizer after exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) delivery in cancer photodynamic detection and therapy (PDT). Although routinely used in the clini ...

Understanding delayed fluorescence and triplet decays of Protoporphyrin IX under hypoxic conditions

Georges Wagnières

Photosensitizers of singlet oxygen exhibit three main types of reverse intersystem-crossing (RISC): thermally activated, triplet-triplet annihilation, and singlet oxygen feedback. RISC can be followed by delayed fluorescence (DF) emission, which can provid ...

Stabilization of high-spin Mn ions in tetra-pyrrolic configuration on copper

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder

By means of Mn-Cu transmetalation, we incorporated Mn atoms in an array of TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) grown on Cu(100), forming a long range ordered and commensurate metal-organic coordination network (MOCN). Preliminary Sn alloying of the Cu( ...

A hybrid erbium(III)-bacteriochlorin near-infrared probe for multiplexed biomedical imaging

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Fan Zhang, Ting Wang, Zhiyong Liu

Spectrally distinct fluorophores are desired for multiplexed bioimaging. In particular, monitoring biological processes in living mammals needs fluorophores that operate in the 'tissue-transparent' near-infrared (NIR) window, that is, between 700 and 1,700 ...

Standardized intraoperative 5-ALA photodynamic therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients: a preliminary analysis of the INDYGO clinical trial

Constantin Tuleasca

Purpose Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant primary brain tumor. The unfavorable prognosis despite maximal therapy relates to high propensity for recurrence. Thus, overall survival (OS) is quite limited and local failure remains the fundame ...
