This invention relates to a NIR-II
charge transfer complex (CTCs) and its preparation and application. Using TFTQ as the core
acceptor (A)
moiety, this invention co-assembles a series of CTCs with various donor
moiety moieties. Through systematic screening, DBTTF (D2) was identified as the optimal
electron donor. By analyzing the structure-activity relationship between
stoichiometry and material properties, this invention discovers that 2A-D2, with a
acceptor-to-donor
molar ratio of 2:1, possesses both a high
molar extinction coefficient and loose molecular packing. This structure not only promotes nonradiative transitions, achieving a
photothermal conversion efficiency of 40.3%, but also alleviates aggregation-induced
quenching effects through loose molecular arrangement, increasing
reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and resolving the fundamental contradiction between NIR-II
photothermal conversion and ROS generation. 2A-D2-mediated photodynamic-photothermal
combined therapy exhibits potent anti-tumor effects.
Irradiation with a 1064 nm
laser induces mitochondrial dysfunction and
DNA damage in
tumor cells, achieving a
tumor inhibition rate of up to 94.5%, and significantly inhibiting
lung metastasis, providing a new approach for precise
ablation therapy of deep tumors.
