Aggregation-induced emission photosensitizer microneedles for enhanced melanoma photodynamic therapy† The incidence and mortality rates of skin melanoma have been increasing annually. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) enables effective destruction of tumor cells while minimizing harm to normal cells.

Piperazine: A Promising Building Block for Aggregation-Induced Emission Materials We report piperazine as a promising building block for the construction of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials by using its electron-donating ability and chair conformation. The piperazine derivatives can realize the suppression of twisted intramolecular charge transfer and nonradiative decay during aggregation and thus exhibit AIE features.
