Propylenedioxy Thiophene Donor to Achieve NIR-II Molecular Fluorophores with Enhanced Brightness
Abstract
Developing molecular fluorophores with high brightness is of considerable importance to achieve superior biological imaging quality in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window. It has been demonstrated that the improved fluorescence quantum yield (QY) can be obtained for NIR-II molecular fluorophores with S–D–A–D–S (S, shielding unit; D, donor; A, acceptor) structures. However, their absorption coefficient is relatively low, limiting their brightness for imaging. Here, 3,4-propylenedioxy thiophene (PDOT) is introduced as a donor unit to construct NIR-II fluorophores with better protection of the conjugated backbone and decreased backbone distortion, eventually leading to simultaneously improved QY and absorption coefficient. Thus, the new fluorophore IR-FP8P shows fluorescence emission with a peak of 1040 nm, a QY of 0.6% (with reference to IR-26 with a QY of 0.05% in dichloroethane), and a peak absorption coefficient of 1.3 × 10 4 M –1 ·cm –1 in aqueous solutions. The higher brightness at 808 nm excitation endows IR-FP8P with superior imaging quality in the NIR-II window. When conjugated with a specific hormone, the targeting probe FSH@FP8 enables fast and unambiguous ovary imaging in mice, revealing the potential of this bright fluorophore for visualizing complicated biological systems in the NIR-II window.

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.
