Cyano π-Bridge Manipulated NIR-II AIEgens for Tumor Photothermal Therapy

Shihao Xu,   Shirong Yan,   Wu-Jie Guo  and  Hui-Qing Peng  

Abstract

A cyano-functionalized π-bridge integrated into DPP-TCBD nanoparticles exhibits aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics, facilitating efficient non-radiative decay and achieving a notable 43% photothermal conversion efficiency along with NIR-II fluorescence emission. This leads to effective photothermal therapy, demonstrating a novel strategy for designing organic photothermal agents.
