On further investigation, these fluorophores turned out to be potential biomarkers; in particular, the one containing -NMe2 functionality (NMe2-POD) was highly selective for mitochondrial imaging. Of note, because of mitochondria's involvement in early-stage apoptosis and degenerative conditions, tracking the dynamics of mitochondrial morphology with such imaging technology has attracted much interest. Along this line, we wanted to build a library of such PODs which are potential mitochondria trackers. However, Au/Selecfluor, our first-generation catalyst system, suffers from undesired fluorination of electronically rich PODs resulting in an inseparable mixture (1:1) of the PODs and their fluorinated derivatives. In our attempt to search for a better alternative to circumvent this issue, we developed a second-generation approach for the synthesis of PODs by employing Cu(II)/PhI(OAC)(2)-mediated oxidative 1,2-amino-oxygenation of alkynes. Thes newly synthesized PODs exhibit tunable emissions as well as excellent quantum efficiency up to 0.96. Further, this powerful process gives rapid access to a library of NMe2-PODs which are potential mitochondrial imaging agents. Out of the library, the randomly chosen POD-3g was studied for cell-imaging experiments which showed high mitochondrial specificity, superior photostability, and appreciable tolerance to microenvironment changes with respect to commercially available MitoTracker green.</p>

	Recently, the concept of anion-pi(+) interactions has witnessed unique applications in the field of AIEgen development. In this contribution, we disclose a consolidated study of a library of N-doped ionic AIEgens accessed through silver-mediated cyclization of pyridino-alkynes. A thorough photophysical, computational and crystallographic study has been conducted to rationalize the observed substituent- and counterion-dependent fluorescence properties of these luminogens. We further elucidate the prominent role of anion-pi(+) interactions, pi(+)-pi(+) interactions and other non-covalent interactions, in inhibiting the undesired ACQ effect. Finally, we have also demonstrated the application of selected AIEgens for imaging of mitochondria in live cells.</p>
