Article Synopsis
- Photothermal agents (PTAs) using donor-acceptor (D-A) NIR fluorophores offer effective photothermal therapy thanks to their customizable molecular structures and potential for energy conversion.
- Researchers have discovered that controlling the spatial arrangement of these fluorophores, particularly through metal coordination to create Pt-bridged dimeric forms, impacts their energy dissipation and photothermal efficacy.
- The study highlights that different configurations of these dimers exhibit varying photophysical properties, with linear arrangements demonstrating lower quantum yields but better photothermal conversion efficiency, paving the way for improved therapeutic applications.
