The development of brightly emissive compounds is of great research and commercial interest, with established and emerging applications across chemistry, biology, physics, medicine and engineering. Among the many types of molecules available, naphthalene diimides have been widely used for both fundamental photophysical studies and in practical applications that utilise fluorescence as an information readout. The monomeric naphthalene diimide is weakly fluorescent, however through various methods of core-derivatisation, it can be developed to be highly fluorescent and further functionalised to add utility. In this review, we highlight recent advances made in naphthalene diimide chemistry that have led to development of molecules with improved optical properties, and the design strategies utilised to produce bright fluorescence emission as small molecules or in supramolecular architectures.
开发具有明亮发射特性的化合物具有重大的研究和商业价值，在化学、生物学、物理学、医学和工程学等领域有着既定的和新兴的应用。在众多可用的分子类型中，萘二亚胺已广泛应用于基础光物理研究以及利用荧光作为信息读出的实际应用中。单体萘二亚胺的荧光较弱，然而，通过各种核心衍生化方法，可以将其开发为具有高荧光性，并进一步功能化以增加实用性。在本综述中，我们重点介绍了萘二亚胺化学领域的最新进展，这些进展促成了具有改进光学性质的分子的开发，以及用于产生小分子或超分子结构中明亮荧光发射的设计策略。
