of highly effective approaches to desirable photothermal
conversion agents is particularly valuable. Herein, we report a concept,
namely, bond stretching vibration-induced photothermy, that serves
as a mechanism to construct advanced photothermal conversion agents.
As a proof-of-concept, two compounds (DCP-TPA and DCP-PTPA) with donor–acceptor
(D–A) structures were synthesized. The bond stretching vibration
of the pyrazine-containing unit in these molecules is vigorous and
insensitive to the external environmental restraint, which efficiently
transforms the absorbed photons to dark-state heat energy. The nanoparticles
(NPs) of DCP-TPA and DCP-PTPA show rather high photothermal conversion
efficiency (52% and 59%) and stronger photoacoustic (PA) signal than
commercial methylene blue and reported high-performance semiconducting
polymer nanoparticles. The DCP-PTPA NPs perform better than DCP-TPA
NPs in terms of photothermal conversion, PA signal production, and in vivo PA tumor imaging because of the increased bond stretching
vibration in the former molecule.
