Molecular fluorophore dimerization: a new paradigm for precision phototheranostics
Key Points
The review aims to explore how dimer architectures influence photophysical and biophysical properties for phototheranostics.
Analyzed existing literature on dimerization of molecular fluorophores.
Examined the relationship between dimer architecture and photophysical behaviors.
Created a unifying framework for designing phototheranostics.
Identified key mechanisms by which dimerization enhances photophysical processes.
Proposed guidelines for designing more effective phototheranostics using dimer architectures.
Abstract
This review maps how dimer architectures regulate photophysical processes and biophysical behaviors, offering a unifying framework for the rational design of next-generation phototheranostics.
