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.
