Abstract

The shortage of high quantum yield (QY) organic fluorophores in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II) has become a bottleneck in bioimaging field. Now, a simple strategy is proposed to address this: constitutional isomerization on the basis of the molecular design philosophy of aggregation‐induced emission. With the combination of backbone distortion and rotor twisting, the resultant NIR‐II fluorophore 2TT‐ o C6B displays an emission peak at 1030 nm and a QY of 11% in nanoparticles, one of the highest reported so far. Control molecules confirm that the distorted backbone and twisted rotors play equally important roles in determining the fluorescence properties of the NIR‐II fluorophores. To allow for the targeting ability to reach deeply located diseases, neutrophils (NEs) are used to penetrate the brain tissues and accumulate in the inflammation site. Herein, it is shown that NEs carrying 2TT‐ o C6B nanoparticles can penetrate the blood‐brain‐barrier and visualize the deeply located inflammation through an intact scalp and skull. Notably, the bright 2TT‐ o C6B contributes to a significantly enhanced signal‐to‐background ratio of 30.6 in the brain inflammation site.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
