1. What surfactants inhibited the reaction between thiols and squa?
Other anionic surfactants, such as dodecylbenzene sulphonate, tetradecyl sulphate and dodecyl phosphate, were also able to inhibit the squaraine-thiol reaction with the subsequent chromogenic response.

2. What is the effect of the MV2+ on the emission of QDs?
Specifically MV2+, in the proximity of QDs, rendered the fluorescence of QDs in the ”off” state due to an efficient electron transfer process.

3. How did the addition of acO- to a DMF solution affect colour?
The addition of 0.2 molar equiv. of F- to a DMF solution of 58 or 59 induced drastic colour changes from colourless to intense blue or violet, respectively.

4. What induced the quenching of both monomer and excimer emissions?
F- induced the quenching of both monomer and excimer emissions, whereas H2PO4 - was able to not only quench the monomer, but to also enhance excimer fluorescence.
