Popis: Near-infrared window IIb (NIR-IIb, 1500-1700 nm) fluorescence imaging demonstrates attractive properties including low scattering, low absorption, and deep tissue penetration, and photothermal therapy (PTT) is also a promising modality for cancer treatment. However, until now, there is no report on theranostic systems based on small organic molecules combining fluorescence imaging in the NIR-IIb and PTT, highlighting the challenge and strong need for development of such agents. Herein, we report a novel small molecule NIR-IIb dye IT-TQF with a D-A-D structure, which exhibited high fluorescence intensity in the NIR-IIb window. To further translate IT-TQF into an effective theranostic agent, IT-TQF was encapsulated into DSPE-PEG
