Opus (2nd)

The grant from National Science Center (no. 2021/43/B/ST5/00753) is realized in the form of scientific consortium with Wrocław University of Science and Technology


The description of the project (in Polish) is available at https://projekty.ncn.gov.pl/opisy/539425-pl.pdf while below we will present crucial data, publications and other.

It is fascinating that the AIE and ACQ properties of molecules can be switched by the topology of the molecule. We have reached such an effect by the replacement of mild acceptor (CF3) and mild donor (OMe) in the benzothiazole core.

In this paper we describe benzothiazole-based fluorophores used in studies of aggregation of amyloids probed by two-photon excited fluorescence.
