The discussions are focused on small-molecule and nanomaterials-based NIR probes.We report the first preparation of the s-cis,s-cis conformer of dihydroxycarbene (1cc) by means of pyrolysis of oxalic acid, isolation of the lower-energy s-trans,s-trans (1tt) and s-cis,s-trans (1ct) product conformers at cryogenic temperatures in a N2 matrix, and subsequent narrow-band near-infrared (NIR) laser excitation to give 1cc. Carbene 1cc converts quickly to 1ct via quantum-mechanical tunneling with an effective half-life of 22 min at 3 K. The
