Insights into the Intrinsic Factors Affecting the NIR Reflectance Based on Rylene Diimide Molecules.

ABSTRACT: A clear understanding of the relationships between molecular structure and NIR reflectance (700-2500 nm) behavior is important and highly desirable for developing appropriate NIR-reflective materials to combat NIR heat radiation from sunlight. In this research, three groups of imide-based compounds have been adopted to investigate the influence of the intrinsic molecular structures on the NIR-reflective properties. It is found out that for the compounds with alkyl groups, the NIR reflectance will increase as the degree of the conjugated backbone increases, especially for the reflectance from 1750 nm to 2500 nm. In addition, despite that the alkyl or amine groups deteriorate the NIR reflectance, the NIR reflectance varies within a certain interval and the isomers with branched alkyl groups show identical or smaller NIR reflectance than those of isomers with linear alkyl groups. For different compounds, crystallinity seems to almost have no relationship with their NIR reflectance.

Project description:Near-infrared reflectance (NIR) is a noninvasive, contactless, and rapid in vivo imaging technique for visualizing subretinal alterations in the photoreceptor layer, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. The present report describes the application of this imaging method in retinal and choroidal pathologies affecting young patients where scarce cooperation, poor fixation, and intense glare sensation can result in a challenging clinical examination. A literature search of the MEDLINE database was performed using the terms "near-infrared reflectance" and "spectral-domain optical coherence tomography." Articles were selected if they described the diagnostic use of NIR in children or young adults. Of 700 publications, 42 manuscripts published between 2005 and 2020 were inherent to children or young adults and were considered in this narrative literature review. The first disease category is the phakomatoses where NIR is essential in visualizing choroidal alterations recognized as cardinal biomarkers in neurofibromatosis type 1, microvascular retinal alterations, and retinal astrocytic hamartomas. Another diagnostic application is the accurate visualization of crystals of various nature, including the glistening crystals that characterize Bietti crystalline dystrophy. Acute macular neuropathy and paracentral acute middle maculopathy represent a further disease category with young adulthood onset where NIR is not only diagnostic but also essential to monitor disease progression. A further interesting clinical application is to facilitate the detection of laser-induced maculopathy where funduscopic examination can be normal or subnormal. In conclusion, NIR imaging has a noninterchangeable role in diagnosing certain retinal diseases, especially in children and young adults where there is scarce collaboration and a lack of evident clinical findings. Moreover, this technique can reveal unique retinal and choroidal biomarkers highly specific to rare conditions.
