Nanoconstruction of curcuminoid boron difluoride dyes with aggregation-induced emission for bright near-infrared fluorescence imaging of malignant tumor

Abstract

Curcuminoid boron difluoride dyes have garnered significant attention in the realm of bioimaging, primarily due to their excellent photophysicochemical properties. However, the strong hydrophobicity limits their optimal near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence...
