Bright near-infrared α-tetraphenyletheneBODIPY nanoprobes with high aggregated state emission quantum yields in aqueous system for lipid droplet-specific imaging

Abstract

Novel near-infrared lipid droplet-specific α-tetraphenyletheneBODIPY nanoprobes exhibited bright aggregated state quantum yields up to 0.81 in aqueous system and were applied for real-time bioimaging.
