Much progress has been made in the field of research on organic near‐infrared materials for potential applications in photonics, communications, energy, and biophotonics. This account mainly describes our research work on organic near‐infrared materials; in particular, donor‐acceptor small molecules, organometallics, and donor‐acceptor polymers with the bandgaps less than 1.2 eV. The molecular designs, structure‐property relationships, unique near‐infrared absorption, emission and color/wavelength‐changing properties, and some emerging applications are discussed.
