    Abstract:
    The second near-infrared (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging has attracted continuous attention due to its excellent penetration depth and high spatial resolution. Compared with other fluorophores, NIR-II fluorophores, especially NIR-II organic small molecule fluorophores, are favored because of their controllable structure and good biocompatibility. In this study, we designed and synthesized an S-D-A-D-S type small molecule FEA. However, a new molecule was accidentally obtained in the process of synthesis, which was proved to be a double receptor (A-A) type small molecule, namely S-D-A-A-D-S type organic small molecule FEAA. Compared with FEA molecules, FEAA exhibits superior fluorescence performance and can effectively prevent fluorescence quenching. The fluorescence emission of its nanoparticles (NPs) reaches 1109 nm, extends to about 1400 nm, and has a Stokes shift of up to 472 nm. Subsequently, we realized fluorescence/photoacoustic dual-mode imaging (FI/PAI) of nude mouse liver, and finally effectively ablated 4T1 tumor by photothermal therapy (PTT). In general, FEAA NPs exhibit good fluorescence, photoacoustic, and photothermal effects, and are an excellent multifunctional NIR-II organic small molecule fluorophore. As far as we know, there are few reports on A-A type organic small molecules, most of which are cyanines or D-A-D type structures. Therefore, this study has good exploratory significance and reference value for the discovery of NIR-II fluorophores.
