A hierarchical assembly strategy for near-infrared photothermal conversion: unconventional heterogeneous metalla[2]catenanes.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we report a hierarchical assembly strategy for constructing heterogeneous half-sandwich organometallic D-A (D = π-donor, A = π-acceptor) interlocked structures, and their application in near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion. Thienothiophene and diketopyrrolopyrrole groups were selected as the D and A units, leading to two homogeneous metalla[2]catenanes with D-D-D-D and A-A-A-A stacks, respectively. By the ordered secondary assembly of homogeneous metalla[2]catenanes, two unprecedented heterogeneous D-A metalla[2]catenanes comprising an unusual mixed D-A-D-D and unconventional D-A-A-A stacks were realized by the combination of multiple noncovalent interactions, as all demonstrated by a detailed X-ray crystallographic study. Benefiting from the mixed D-A stacking modes, NIR absorption of heterogeneous D-A metalla[2]catenanes is significantly enhanced in contrast to homogeneous metalla[2]catenanes. Thanks to the enhanced NIR absorption and the fluorescence quenching effect from half-sandwich organometallic fragments, heterogeneous D-A metalla[2]catenanes displayed high-performance NIR photothermal conversion properties (η = 27.3%).

Highly selective synthesis and near-infrared photothermal conversion of metalla-Borromean ring and [2]catenane assemblies.

Project description:Although the selective synthesis of complicated supramolecular architectures has seen significant progress in recent years, the exploration of the properties of these complexes remains a fascinating challenge. Herein, a series of new supramolecular topologies, metalla[2]catenanes and Borromean ring assemblies, were constructed based on appropriate Cp*Rh building blocks and two rigid alkynyl pyridine ligands (L1, L2) via coordination-driven self-assembly. Interestingly, minor differences between the two rigid alkynyl pyridine ligands with/without organic substituents led to products with dramatically different topologies. Careful structural analysis showed that π-π stacking interactions play a crucial role in stabilizing these [2]catenanes and Borromean ring assemblies, while also promoting nonradiative transitions and triggering photothermal conversion in both the solution and the solid states. These results were showcased through comparative studies of the NIR photothermal conversion efficiencies of the Borromean ring assemblies, [2]catenanes and metallarectangles, which exhibited a wide range of photothermal conversion efficiencies (12.64-72.21%). The influence of the different Cp*Rh building blocks on the NIR photothermal conversion efficiencies of their assemblies was investigated. Good photothermal conversion properties of the assemblies were also found in the solid state. This study provides a new strategy to construct valuable half-sandwich-based NIR photothermal conversion materials while also providing promising candidates for the further development of materials science.

Supramolecular free radicals: near-infrared organic materials with enhanced photothermal conversion.

Project description:A novel kind of supramolecular free radical with significantly improved free radical yield and enhanced near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion has been fabricated. Perylene diimide (PDI) can undergo chemical reduction to generate PDI radical anions. Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), a bulky hydrophilic head, was utilized to encapsulate the two end groups of the PDI derivative via host-guest interactions, thus hindering its aggregation and suppressing the dimerization and quenching of PDI radical anions in aqueous solution. Due to the increased concentration of radical anions and their absorption above 800 nm, the efficiency of NIR photothermal conversion was significantly improved. Compared with free radicals fabricated by covalent chemistry, the supramolecular free radicals established here could provide a facile approach for the promoted formation of aromatic free radicals, thus opening up a new strategy for the design of NIR photothermal materials with enhanced photothermal conversion.

Selenide Heterostructure Nanosheets with Efficient Near-Infrared Photothermal Conversion for Therapy.

Project description:Photothermal therapy has been regarded as one of promising ways for tumor treatment. However, nanoagents with highly efficient thermal conversion and good bio-compatibility are still needed to be developed in biomedicine. In this work, we prepared two-dimensional heterostructures with bismuth selenide and tungsten selenide nanosheets as photothermal nanoagents. Near-infrared photothermal conversion of selenide heterostructure nanosheets can reach up to 40.75% under 808 nm excitation. It is known that selenium is a critical element to human health. More importantly, our experiments with mice show that the heterostructure nanosheets have low toxicity and high biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo. The nanoagents based on heterostructures can effectively realize photothermal tumor ablation. It is suggested that the developed selenide nanosheets have great potential application in cancer therapy.

Aza-Based Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles for Near-Infrared Modulated Photothermal Conversion.

Project description:It is highly desired that synthesis of photothermal agents with near-infrared (NIR) absorption, excellent photostability, and high photothermal conversion efficiency are essential for potential applications. In this work, three (D-A) conjugated polymers (PBABDF-BDTT, PBABDF-BT, and PBABDF-TVT) based on aza-heterocycle, bis(2-oxo-7-azaindolin-3-ylidene)benzodifurandione (BABDF) as the strong acceptor, and benzodithiophene-thiophene (BDTT), bithiophene (BT), and thiophene-vinylene-thiophene (TVT) as the donors, were designed and synthesized. The conjugated polymers showed significant absorption in the NIR region and a maximum absorption peak at 808 nm by adjusting the donor and acceptor units. Their photothermal properties were also investigated by using poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(hexyl ethylene phosphate) (mPEG-b-PHEP) to stabilize the conjugated polymers. Photoexcited conjugated polymer (PBABDF-TVT) nanoparticles underwent non-radiative decay when subjected to single-wavelength NIR light irradiation, leading to an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 40.7%. This work indicated the aza-heterocycle BABDF can be a useful building block for constructing D-A conjugated polymer with high conversion efficiency.

Dopamine-mediated photothermal theranostics combined with up-conversion platform under near infrared light.

Project description:An organic-inorganic hybrid core-shell nanostructure, based on mesoporous silica coated upconversion core-shell nanoparticles (NaGdF4:Yb,Er@NaGdF4:Yb@mSiO2-Dopa abbreviated here as UCNP@mSiO2-Dopa) that stably incorporates dopamine (Dopa) in the silica layer was introduced as a theranostic nanoplatform for optical imaging guided photothermal therapy (PTT) using NIR excitation. Silica-attaching polyethylenimine make the Dopa transforms into an active form (transferred Dopa) that strongly absorbs light under single 980 nm irradiation. We show that the activated UCNP@mSiO2-Dopa nanoplatform is able to produce a pronounced photothermal effect, that elevates water temperature from room temperature to 41.8 °C within 2 minutes, while concurrently emitting strong upconverted luminescence (UCL) for visualized guidance under 980 nm laser. In addition, we demonstrate the application of the same UCNP@mSiO2-Dopa nanoplatform for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and x-ray computed tomography (CT) enabled by the gadolinium (Gd) element contained in the UCNP. Importantly, the in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer therapeutic effects have been shown efficacious, implying the use of the described nanoplatform as an effective multi-modal imaging enabled PTT agent. Results from the in vivo biodistribution of UCNPs@mSiO2, cellular live/dead assay, and histologic analysis of main organs of treated mice, reveal that the UCNP@mSiO2-Dopa agents are bio-compatible with low toxicity.

Concentration-dependent photothermal conversion efficiency of gold nanoparticles under near-infrared laser and broadband irradiation

Project description:The photothermal conversion efficiency of gold different nanoparticles (GNPs) in different concentrations (1.25–20 µg/mL) and at different irradiation intensities of near-infrared (NIR) broadband and NIR laser irradiation is evaluated. Results show that for a concentration of 20.0 µg/mL, 40 nm gold nanospheres, 25 × 47 nm gold nanorods (GNRs), and 10 × 41 nm GNRs show a 4–110% higher photothermal conversion efficiency under NIR broadband irradiation than under NIR laser irradiation. Broadband irradiation seems suitable to attain higher efficiencies for the nanoparticles whose absorption wavelength is different from the irradiation wavelength. Lower concentrations (1.25–5 µg/mL) of such nanoparticles show 2–3 times higher efficiency under NIR broadband irradiation. For GNRs of sizes 10 × 38 nm and 10 × 41 nm, the different concentrations show almost equal efficiencies for NIR laser and broadband irradiation. On increasing the irradiation power from 0.3 to 0.5 W, for 10 × 41 nm GNRs in the concentration range of 2.5–20.0 µg/mL, NIR laser irradiation results in 5–32% higher efficiencies, while NIR broadband irradiation leads to a 6–11% increase in efficiency. Under NIR laser irradiation, the photothermal conversion efficiency increases with an increase in optical power. The findings will facilitate the selection of nanoparticle concentrations, irradiation source, and irradiation power for a variety of plasmonic photothermal applications.

Supra-(carbon nanodots) with a strong visible to near-infrared absorption band and efficient photothermal conversion.

Project description:A novel concept and approach to engineering carbon nanodots (CNDs) were explored to overcome the limited light absorption of CNDs in low-energy spectral regions. In this work, we constructed a novel type of supra-CND by the assembly of surface charge-confined CNDs through possible electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. The resulting supra-CNDs are the first to feature a strong, well-defined absorption band in the visible to near-infrared (NIR) range and to exhibit effective NIR photothermal conversion performance with high photothermal conversion efficiency in excess of 50%.

Albumin tailoring fluorescence and photothermal conversion effect of near-infrared-II fluorophore with aggregation-induced emission characteristics.

Project description:Fluorophores with donor-acceptor-donor groups with the emission spanning the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) have recently received great attention for biomedical application. Yet, the mechanism underlying the equilibrium between fluorescence (radiative decay) and photothermal effect (non-radiative decay) of these fluorophores remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a lipophilic NIR-II fluorophore, BPBBT, possesses both twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. Human serum albumin (HSA) binds to BPBBT, which changes the planarity of the fluorophore and restricts its intramolecular rotation. The binding results in alteration to the equilibrium between AIE and TICT state of BPBBT, tailoring its fluorescence and photothermal efficiency. Under the guidance of intraoperative NIR-II fluorescence image, the prepared HSA-bound BPBBT nanoparticles delineate primary orthotopic mouse colon tumor and metastatic lesions with dimensions as small as 0.5 mm × 0.3 mm, and offer photothermal ablation therapy with optimized timing, dosing and area of the laser irradiation.

Stable radical anions generated from a porous perylenediimide metal-organic framework for boosting near-infrared photothermal conversion.

Project description:Radical anions of electron-deficient systems are widely used, but are easily reoxidized upon exposure to air. Therefore, the stabilization of radical anions under ambient conditions is of great significance, but still remains a scientific challenge. Herein, perylenediimide is employed to prepare a crystalline metal-organic framework for stabilizing radical anions without extensive chemical modification. The porous, three-dimensional framework of perylenediimide can trap electron donors such as amine vapors and produce radical anions in-situ through photo-induced electron transfer. The radical anions are protected against quenching by shielding effect in air and remain unobstructed in air for at least a month. Because of the high yield and stability of the radical anions, which are the basis for near-infrared photothermal conversion, the framework shows high near-infrared photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 52.3%). The work provides an efficient and simple method towards ambient stable radical anions and affords a promising material for photothermal therapy.

Near-infrared (NIR) up-conversion optogenetics.

Project description:Non-invasive remote control technologies designed to manipulate neural functions have been long-awaited for the comprehensive and quantitative understanding of neuronal network in the brain as well as for the therapy of neurological disorders. Recently, it has become possible for the neuronal activity to be optically manipulated using biological photo-reactive molecules such as channelrhodopsin (ChR)-2. However, ChR2 and its relatives are mostly reactive to visible light, which does not effectively penetrate through biological tissues. In contrast, near-infrared (NIR) light (650-1450?nm) penetrates deep into the tissues because biological systems are almost transparent to light within this so-called 'imaging window'. Here we used lanthanide nanoparticles (LNPs), composed of rare-earth elements, as luminous bodies to activate ChRs since they absorb low-energy NIR light to emit high-energy visible light (up-conversion). Here, we created a new type of optogenetic system which consists of the donor LNPs and the acceptor ChRs. The NIR laser irradiation emitted visible light from LNPs, then induced the photo-reactive responses in the near-by cells that expressed ChRs. However, there remains room for large improvements in the energy efficiency of the LNP-ChR system.
