A successful strategy for the design of ultrabright red luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) features is reported. The AIE dots can be utilized as efficient fluorescent probes for in vivo deep-tissue imaging with high penetration depth and high contrast.

Abstract Developing novel photosensitizers for deep tissue imaging and efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) remains a challengebecause of the poor water solubility, low reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation efficiency, serve dark cytotoxicity, and weak absorption in the NIR region of conventional photosensitizers. Herein,cyclometalated iridium (III) complexes(Ir)with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) feature, high photoinduced ROS generation efficiency, two-photonexcitation, and mitochondria-targetingcapability were designed and further encapsulated into biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs).The Ir-NPs can be used to disturb redox homeostasis in vitro, result in mitochondrial dysfunction and cell apoptosis. Importantly, invivo experiments demonstrated that theIr-NPs presented obviously tumor-targeting ability, excellent antitumor effect, and low systematic dark-toxicity. Moreover, the Ir-NPs could serve as a two-photon imaging agent for deep tissue bioimaging with a penetration depth of up to 300 μm. This work presents a promising strategy for designing a clinical application of multifunctional Ir-NPs toward bioimaging and PDT.

We have developed a new class of two-photon absorbing dyes that are far-red emitting, water-soluble, and very bright inside cells as well as in tissue. The significant autofluorescence from yellow wavelength region in tissue imaging can be addressed by deep-red emitting dyes.
