Article Abstract
The synthesis of multifunctional materials that exhibit two or more distinct physicochemical properties is critical for the development of advanced smart materials. To date, the research regarding the near-infrared II (NIR-II) photothermal properties of spin crossover (SCO) materials remains scarce. Here, we synthesized an inverse-Hofmann-type cationic framework, [Fe{Ag(CN)}(TTF(py))] (1, TTF(py) = tetra(4-pyridyl)tetrathiafulvalene), which exhibits hysteretic SCO behavior. By introducing p-aminoazobenzene (Azo-NH) and pyrene (Pyr) into 1, two solvent-free derivatives, 1@Azo-NH and 1@Pyr, incorporating free radicals were generated. NIR-II photothermal experiments revealed the outstanding photothermal properties of 1@Azo-NH and 1@Pyr under 1064 nm laser irradiation. Solar-driven water evaporation experiment demonstrated that 1@Pyr achieved a water evaporation rate of 0.9197 kg m h with an efficiency of 63.9%. This represents the first demonstration of outstanding NIR-II photothermal conversion performance in an inverse-Hofmann-type metal-organic framework incorporating free radicals generated through host-guest interactions. Our findings underscore the critical importance of incorporating NIR absorption units into SCO systems, providing new insights for the development of intelligent multifunctional materials.

Pyroelectrodynamic therapy (PEDT) of tumors faces challenges due to its low electrocatalytic efficiency at mild temperature and the potential for off-target toxicity to healthy tissue. To overcome these issues, we have engineered pyroelectric nanoparticles (NPs) that feature a pH-triggered heterojunction structure and tumor-selective reactive oxidative species (ROS) production, faclitating synergistic PEDT and mild photothermal therapy (PTT). Herein, molybdenum trioxide (MoO) was deposited in-situ on the surface of tetragonal BaTiO (tBT) to create tBT@MO.

NIR-II probes show great potential for fluorescence imaging (FLI) and therapeutics, where the molar extinction coefficient (MEC), a pivotal optical parameter, governs their imaging quality and therapeutic efficacy. Nevertheless, engineering NIR-II probes with ultrahigh MEC remains a formidable challenge, limiting their biomedical applications. In this work, we designed a superior NIR-II D-π-A-π-D probe, SCU-SX-T, which features an S-xanthene core as the conjugate acceptor, a diphenylamine (DPA) rotor, and π-bridge that induces bathochromic shifts in absorption/emission spectra while enhancing molecular rigidity and planarity.

Inspired by the electron-withdrawing ability of nitroxide radicals, a novel open-shell material, EDOT-TPAO is reported, synthesized via one-step demethylation and oxidation of its closed-shell precursor, EDOT-TPAOMe. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations confirm an acceptor-donor-acceptor configuration of EDOT-TPAO where radical termini act as electron acceptors. This structural transformation narrows the optical bandgap from 2.

Crystalline coordination polymers (CCPs) have emerged as promising platforms for photothermal conversion due to their structural tunability. However, the development of high-performance CCPs is often limited by the high cost of photoactive ligands. In this study, we report a low-cost, scalable approach to synthesize three CCPs─-, -, and -─via a solvothermal method using the inexpensive industrial precursor tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile, which is converted in situ into a tetraoxolene ligand.

The development of activatable optical probes has proved to be a promising approach to improve the accuracy of phototheranostics. However, most such probes are usually responsive to single pathological factor and visible-near-infrared-I light upon activation, which restricts the theranostic specificity and tissue penetration depth, respectively. Herein, we develop a nitric oxide (NO) and acidity dual-stimuli responsive semiconducting polymer nanoprobe for activatable near-infrared-II (NIR-II) photoacoustic imaging (PAI) and photothermal therapy (PTT).
