Abstract Molecular science entails the study of structures and properties materials at level single molecules or small interacting complexes molecules. Moving beyond well‐defined complexes, aggregates (i.e., irregular clusters many molecules) serve as a particularly useful form that often display modified wholly new compared to their molecular components. Some unique phenomena such polymorphic aggregates, aggregation‐induced symmetry breaking, cluster excitons are only identified in few examples exotic features. Here, by virtue flourishing research on emission, concept “aggregate science” is put forward fill gaps between aggregates. Structures aggregate scale also systematically summarized. The structure–property relationships established for expected contribute technological development. Ultimately, may become an interdisciplinary field serves general platform academic research.

Abstract Fluorescence imaging in near-infrared IIb (NIR-IIb, 1500–1700 nm) spectrum holds a great promise for tissue imaging. While few inorganic NIR-IIb fluorescent probes have been reported, their organic counterparts are still rarely developed, possibly due to the shortage of efficient materials with long emission wavelength. Herein, we propose molecular design philosophy explore pure fluorophores by manipulation effects twisted intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation-induced at morphological levels. An dye emitting up 1600 nm quantum yield 11.5% NIR-II region is developed. fluorescence blood vessels deeply-located intestinal tract live mice based on dyes achieved high clarity enhanced signal-to-background ratio.

Recently, metal nanoclusters (MNCs) emerged as a new class of luminescent materials and have attracted tremendous interest in the area luminescence-related applications due to their excellent luminous properties (good photostability, large Stokes shift) inherent good biocompatibility. However, origin photoluminescence (PL) MNCs is still not fully understood, which has limited practical application.
