• A novel fluoro-chromogenic click reaction for the labelling of proteins and nanoparticles with near-IR theranostic agents 

      Nonell, Santi; Planas, Oriol; Gallavardin, Thibault (Chemical Communications. Vol.51, n.26 (2015), p.5586-5589, 2014-12)
      Reaction of porphycene isothiocyanates with primary and secondary amines leads to the formation of thiazolo[4,5-c]porphycenes, with a substantial shift in the absorption and fluorescence spectra. The ...
    • High photostability in nonconventional coumarins with far-red/NIR emission through azetidinyl substitution 

      Nonell, Santi; Bresolí Obach, Roger; Gandioso, Albert; Palau Requena, Marta; Galindo Muñoz, Alex; Rovira, Anna; Bosch, Manel; Marchán Sancho, Vicente (Journal of Organic Chemistry. Vol.83, n.19 (2018), p.11519-11531, 2018-08)
      Replacement of electron-donating N,N-dialkyl groups with three- or four-membered cyclic amines (e.g., aziridine and azetidine, respectively) has been described as a promising approach to improve some ...
    • NanoFN10: A High-Contrast Turn-On Fluorescence Nanoprobe for Multiphoton Singlet Oxygen Imaging 

      Zanocco, Renzo; Bresolí Obach, Roger; Nájera, Francisco; Pérez de Inestrosa, Ezequiel; Zanocco, Antonio; Lemp, Else; Nonell, Santi (Sensors 2023, 23(10), 4603, 2023-05)
      An “off-on” fluorescent nanoprobe for near-infrared multiphoton imaging of singlet oxygen has been developed. The nanoprobe comprises a naphthoxazole fluorescent unit and a singlet-oxygen-sensitive furan ...
    • On the mechanism of Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by the combined action of naturally-occurring anthraquinones and blue light 

      Nonell, Santi; Bresolí Obach, Roger; Agut Bonsfills, Montserrat; Marioni, Juliana; Comini, Laura R.; Cabrera, José L.; Paraje, María G.; Núñez Montoya, Susana C. (PLoS ONE. Vol.12, n.7 (2017), e0181517, 2017-07)
      The photoprocesses involved in the photo-induced Candida tropicalis biofilm reduction by two natural anthraquinones (AQs), rubiadin (1) and rubiadin-1-methyl ether (2), were examined. Production of ...
    • Optical writing and reading with a photoactivatable carbazole 

      Nonell, Santi; Garcia Amorós, Jaume; Swaminathan, Subramani; Zhang, Yang; Raymo, Françisco M. (Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Vol.17, n.17 (2015), p.11140-11143, 2015-03)
      The fluorescence of a carbazole chromophore can be activated irreversibly under optical control with the photoinduced opening of an oxazine ring. In proximity to silver nanoparticles, the quantum ...
