Materials

[0111]Y2O3, (99.9%), Yb2O3 (99.9%), Tm2O3(99.9%), CF3COONa (99.9%), CF3COOH, CaCO3, 1-octadecene (90%), oleic acid (90%), diethylene glycol (99%), toluene, citric acid monohydrate, 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC.HCl ), N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt (sulfo-NHS), and branched polyethylenimine (PEI, Mw 25,000) were all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without further purification. The trifluoroacetates of Y, Yb, and Tm were prepared as described. 5-carboxyfluorescein-bis-(5-carboxymethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl) ether, β-alanine-carboxamide, succinimidyl ester (CMNB-caged carboxyfluorescein, SE) were purchased from Invitrogen.

Preparation of Ln trifluoroacetates

[0112]Ln2O3 powder was mixed with a little of water to form a slurry in a single-neck flask, then trifluoroacetic acid with 150% stoichiometric ratio was added under stirring. When the exothermic process was finished, the single-neck flask was heated to reflux under water condenser....

Abstract

The invention provides novel biocompatible upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) that comprises a core of cubic nanocrystals (e.g., comprising α-Na Lna, Lnb Lnc F4) and an epitaxial shell (e.g., formed from CaF2; wherein Lnb is Yb), and related methods of preparation and uses thereof.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIMS AND RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. Nos. 61 / 653,406, filed May 30, 2012, and 61 / 765,019, filed Jul. 24, 2012, the entire content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to upconversion luminescence nano-structured material(s) and methods for preparation and uses thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to a novel biocompatible upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) comprising a core of cubic nanocrystals (e.g., comprising α-Na Lna, Lnb Lnc F4) and an epitaxial shell (e.g., formed from CaF2; wherein Lnb is Yb).BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have recently emerged as a new class of materials with potential applications in a wide-range of fields, such as biosensing, chemical sensing, in vivo imaging, drug delivery, photodynamic thera...
