Although luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely reported, rare examples were found to emit in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) window. In this work, two nanoscale rhodium(I)-based MOFs ( and ) have been controllably constructed in the aqueous dispersions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and 1,2-distearoyl--glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine--methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) (DSPE-PEG), wherein micelle- and vesicle-like aggregates form, respectively, with high colloidal stability. The vesicular dispersion of exhibits intense NIR-II luminescence at 1125 (1245, shoulder) nm. Consequently, this nanoMOF was used as an NIR-II luminescence probe, indicative of high-resolution systemic and local vascular imaging, where the postoperative recovery process of flap transplantation was clearly visualized. Meanwhile, it also demonstrates superior tumor targeting in the NIR-II window. To the best of our knowledge, this research represents the first example of nanoMOFs having intense NIR-II luminescence and excellent imaging capabilities.

Gold nanoclusters emitting in the second biological window (NIR-II-AuNCs) have gained significant interest for their potential in deep-tissue bioimaging and biosensing applications due to the partial transparency and reduced autofluorescence of tissues in this spectral range. However, the limited understanding of how the biological environment affects their luminescent properties might hinder their use in bioimaging and biosensing. In this study, we investigated the emission properties of NIR-II-AuNCs when interacting and internalizing into live cells including macrophages, fibroblasts, and cancer cell lines, revealing substantial alterations in their luminescence.

Real-time temperature feedback during hyperthermia enables precise lesion ablation with minimal damage to healthy tissue. However, the lack of on-demand theranostic agents eludes such applications. This study demonstrates operando temperature monitoring in tumor magnetothermal therapy using an optomagnetic heater-thermometer nanocluster agent.

Enhancing payload encapsulation stability while enabling controlled drug release are both critical objectives in drug delivery systems but are challenging to reconcile. This study introduces a zwitterionic conjugated electrolyte (CE) molecule named Zwit, which acts as a molecular Trojan by mimicking the lipid bilayers. When integrated into liposome membranes, Zwit rigidifies the bilayer structure likely due to its hydrophobic interactions providing structural support, thus inhibiting drug leakage.

Due to the significant relationships between structure and properties, the controlled construction of atomically precise metal clusters presents both a formidable challenge and great importance. The innovative synthesis of well-defined silver nanoclusters with near-infrared II (NIR-II) luminescent properties may inspire further exploration of functional metal nanoclusters for bioimaging applications. In this study, we employed the multidentate chelating nitrogen ligand 3,5-di(2-pyridyl)pyrazole (Hbpypz) to construct three unprecedented silver nanoclusters: [Ag(bpypz)] (), [Ag(bpypz)] (), and [Ag(bpypz)] ().
