In chemodynamic therapy (CDT), real-time monitoring of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is critical to reducing the nonspecific damage during CDT and feasibly evaluating the therapeutic response. However, CDT agents that can emit ROS-related signals are rare. Herein, we synthesize a semiconducting polymer nanoplatform (SPN) that can not only produce highly toxic ROS to kill cancer cells but also emit ROS-correlated chemiluminescent signals. Notably, the efficacy of both chemiluminescence and CDT can be significantly enhanced by hemin doping (∼10-fold enhancement for luminescent intensity). Such ROS-dependent chemiluminescence of SPN allows ROS generation within a tumor to be optically monitored during the CDT process. Importantly, SPN establishes an excellent correlation of chemiluminescence intensities with cancer inhibition rates in vitro and in vivo. Thus, our nanoplatform represents the first intelligent strategy that enables chemiluminescence-imaging-monitored CDT, which holds potential in assessing therapeutic responsivity and predicting treatment outcomes in early stages.

We report the synthesis and characterization of an iron(III)-hydroperoxo complex generated from salicylate-assisted dioxygen activation by a cation-liganded iron(II) complex. Spectroscopic and theoretical data revealed stabilization of the end-on hydroperoxo ligand, and mechanistic insights, including a "V-shaped" Hammett plot, were confirmed by conducting oxygen atom transfer and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions.

Although cisplatin is widely used as a first-line chemotherapy agent, it has significant side effects. Herein, we synthesized a Pt(II) complex (Pt1) derived from o-vanillin-4-phenylthiosemicarbazone ligand, and confirmed its crystal structure by X-ray crystallography. Complex Pt1 exhibited potent anticancer activity against various tested cancer cell lines, with particular efficacy against HepG-2 cells.
