Diketopyrrolopyrrole Fluorescent Probes, Photophysical and Biological Applications

Biological applications of fluorescent probes are rapidly increasing in the supramolecular chemistry research field. Several organic dyes being utilized currently developing and advancing this attractive area, which diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) show an exceptional photophysical features (high-fluorescence quantum yield (FQY), good photochemical thermal stability) that essential properties for biological applications. Great efforts have been made recent years towards novel DPPs by different chemists such applications, some positive results reported. As a result, review article gives account progress has so far very recently, mainly within last decade, we selectively focus on discuss more from 2015 to present scholarly achievements DPPs: yield, aggregation-induced emission (AIE), solid-state emission, bio-imaging, cancer/tumor therapy, mitochondria staining polymeric DPPs. Finally, highlights researchers working luminescent future prospects key areas designing DPP-based order boost their effectively.
