To accelerate the pace in the field of photothermal therapy (PTT), it is urged to develop easily accessible photothermal agents (PTAs) showing high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE). As a proof-of-concept, hereby a conventional strategy is presented to prepare donor-acceptor (D-A) structured PTAs through cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) reaction, and the resultant PTAs give high PCE upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. By joint experimental-theoretical study, these PTAs exhibit prominent D-A structure with strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristics and significantly twisting between D and A units which account for the high PCEs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on classifying wheat varieties using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and emphasizes the challenge of balancing the modeling sample size with information redundancy.
  • It introduces a new sample selection method called k nearest neighbor-density, which is an improvement over traditional random sampling and k nearest neighbor methods.
  • Experimental results show that using k nearest neighbor-density not only reduces the sample size significantly but also enhances the overall accuracy of the classification models for wheat varieties.
