Luminescence is used in cell imaging to unravel cellular processes, or in disease diagnosis. Some systems can be modified to add extra functionality, such as generating reactive oxygen species that are cytotoxic and can be used for treatment. Commonly used luminescent compounds such as organic dyes and nanoparticles have limitations from photobleaching, short emission lifetimes, excitation/emission bands outside of the biological window and cell damage due to high power excitation sources. I propose to study new systems capable of luminescence and of generating singlet oxygen, and understand the structure-property relationships that lead to high efficiency of both processes. The generated knowledge will contribute to the design of new efficient systems that have improved luminescent and/or luminescent and singlet oxygen generation properties.
