摘要

Abstract

Water/alcohol-soluble organic luminophores are a crucial subclass of luminescent materials that uniquely enable biomedical applications and eco-friendly optoelectronics that are inaccessible to their conventional hydrophobic counterparts. This review systematically outlines two fundamental strategies for achieving this essential solubility: chemical modification through covalent functionalization and physical encapsulation

via

supramolecular assembly. We analyzed the inherent trade-offs of each approach in terms of stability

luminescence properties

and synthetic complexity. Subsequently

we trace the evolution of these design principles across three major classes of luminophores: fluorescent

phosphorescent

and thermally activated delayed-fluorescence systems. Furthermore

we highlight their transformative applications in bioimaging

biosensing

anti-counterfeiting

and sustainable electronics. By mapping these strategies and applications

this review underscores how solubility design paves the way for broader utilization of organic luminophores in cutting-edge luminescent technologies.
