Donor–Acceptor–Donor-based π-Conjugated Oligomers for Nonlinear Optics and Near-IR Emission
摘要:
A family of multi-heterocycle donor acceptor donor (DAD) telechelic conjugated oligomers designed for two-photon absorption (2PA) and emission in the near-infrared (near-IR) were prepared, and the relationship between their spectral, structural, and electrochemical properties were investigated. These oligomers, based on electron-rich thiophene, phenylene, and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) units as donors along with electron-deficient benzothiadiazole or its derivative units as acceptors, have been characterized through linear absorbance and fluorescence measurements, nonlinear absorbance, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse voltammetry to demonstrate the evolution of narrow HOMO-LUMO gaps ranging from 1.05 to 1.95 eV, with the oligomers composed of EDOT and benzo[1,2-c,3,4-c']bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole (BBT) exhibiting the narrowest gap. The absorption maxima ranges from 517 to 846 nm and the fluorescence maxima ranges from 651 to 1088 nm for the different oligomers. Z-scan and two-photon fluorescence were used to measure the frequency degenerate 2PA of the different oligomers. The oligomer's 2PA cross sections ranged from 900-3500 GM, with the oligomer containing EDOT donor units and a BBT acceptor unit exhibiting the largest 2PA cross section. The use of these oligomers in red to near-IR emitting polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) was demonstrated by blending the soluble emitting oligomers into a suitable host matrix. Energy transfer from the matrix to the emitting oligomer can be achieved, resulting in PLEDs with pure oligomer emission.

Provided are a near-infrared II polymer fluorescent microsphere and a method for preparing the same. The method includes steps of 1) dissolving fluorochrome in a water-immiscible organic solvent, thus obtaining a fluorochrome solution; 2) distributing a polymer microsphere into a sodium dodecyl sulfonate solution, thus obtaining a microsphere solution with the polymer microsphere as a carrier for the fluorochrome; 3) subjecting a first mixture of the fluorochrome solution and the microsphere solution to ultrasonic treatment, thus obtaining an emulsion; 4) swelling the emulsion such that the fluorochrome solution enters nanopores formed during swelling of the polymer microsphere, thus obtaining a second mixture; and 5) heating the second mixture to volatilize the organic solvent, such that the fluorochrome is crystallized out and encapsulated in the nanopores, thus obtaining the near-infrared II polymer fluorescent microsphere.

NIR‐II Conjugated Electrolytes as Biomimetics of Lipid Bilayers for In Vivo Liposome Tracking
Liposomes serve as promising and versatile vehicles for drug delivery. Tracking these nanosized vesicles, particularly in vivo, is crucial for understanding their pharmacokinetics. This study introduces the design and synthesis of three new conjugated electrolyte (CE) molecules, which emit in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II), facilitating deeper tissue penetration. Additionally, these CEs, acting as biomimetics of lipid bilayers, demonstrate superior compatibility with lipid membranes compared to commonly used carbocyanine dyes like DiR. To counteract the aggregation‐caused quenching effect, CEs employ a twisted backbone, as such their fluorescence intensities can effectively enhance after a fluorophore multimerization strategy. Notably, a “passive” method was employed to integrate CEs into liposomes during the liposome formation, and membrane incorporation efficiency was significantly promoted to nearly 100%. To validate the in vivo tracking capability, the CE‐containing liposomes were functionalized with cyclic arginine‐glycine‐aspartic acid (cRGD) peptides, serving as tumor‐targeting ligands. Clear fluorescent images visualizing tumor site in living mice were captured by collecting the NIR‐II emission. Uniquely, these CEs exhibit additional emission peak in visible region, enabling in vitro subcellular analysis using routine confocal microscopy. These results underscore the potential of CEs as a new‐generation of membrane‐targeting probes to facilitate the liposome‐based medicine research.
