Polymethine‐Based Semiconducting Polymer Dots with Narrow‐Band Emission and Absorption/Emission Maxima at NIR‐II for Bioimaging
Abstract
Deep‐penetration fluorescence imaging in the second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) window heralds a new era of clinical surgery, in which high‐resolution vascular/lymphatic anatomy and detailed cancerous tissues can be visualized in real time. Described here is a series of polymethine‐based semiconducting polymers with intrinsic emission maxima in the NIR‐IIa (1300–1400 nm) window and absorption maxima ranging from 1082 to 1290 nm. These polymers were prepared as semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) in aqueous solutions with fluorescence quantum yields of 0.05–0.18 %, and they demonstrate promising applications in noninvasive through‐skull brain imaging in live mice with remarkable spatial resolution as well as signal‐to‐background contrast. This study offers a platform for future design of NIR‐IIa or even NIR‐IIb emitting Pdots.

“Since the polymethine dyes were incorporated into pentiptycene selenyl benzothiadiazole (Pttc-SeBTa)-NIR1125/1270/1380 CPs by click reactions,195 this approach could be universal and could readily be utilized to integrate all kinds of fluorophores possessing reactive alkynes into CP chains.”

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.
