Thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole π-bridge engineering of AIE photosensitizers toward mitochondria-localized photodynamic therapy.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers have emerged as promising candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT) because they can overcome aggregation-caused quenching and retain strong fluorescence in biological environments. However, rational π-bridge engineering for simultaneously optimizing photophysical pro...
