Comparing different emitter classes and rationally designing the next generation of molecular and nanoscale probes for bioimaging applications require accurate and quantitative methods for the measurement of the key parameter photoluminescence quantum yield f.1 f equals the number of emitted per number of absorbed photons. This is particularly relevant for increasingly used fluorescence imaging in the short wave-infrared region (SWIR) ≥ 900 nm providing deeper penetration depths, a better image resolution, and an improved signal-to-noise or tumor-to-background ratio.2, 3 However, spectroscopic measurements in the SWIR are more challenging and require specific calibrations and standards.

Additionally, methods for the simple and quantitative analysis of the surface chemistry are desired as the chemical nature and number of the surface groups and ligands can affect the optical features and controls the interaction of these nanomaterials with their environment. Here, we present quantitative photoluminescenvce studies of different types of vis/NIR-emissive nanomaterials like semiconductor quantum dots and upconversion nanocrystals will be presented and their relevance for the mechanistic understanding of nonradiative decay channels and the rational design of new nanomaterials will be underpinned. In this respect, also validation concepts for such measurements and absolute fluorometry will be introduced. In addition, the potential of optical spectroscopy for surface group and ligand analysis surface chemistry will be demonstrated exemplarily for semiconductor quantum dots T2 - AK Prof. Voss CY - Uni Brunswick, Germany DA - 03.08.2017 KW - Semiconductor KW - Upconversion KW - Nanoparticle KW - Fluorescence KW - Surface group analysis KW - NIR KW - Absolute fluoreometry KW - Integrating sphare spectroscopy KW - Optical probe KW - Assay KW - Thiol ligand PY - 2017 N1 - Geburtsname von Nirmalananthan-Budau, Nithiya: Nirmalananthan, N. - Birth name of Nirmalananthan-Budau, Nithiya: Nirmalananthan, N.

T1 - NIR aza-BODIPY: a new vector for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) N2 - Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) relies on the activation of 10B by thermal neutrons, which results in small highly energetic particle emission inducing cancer cells damage. However, in order to overcome the limits of the currently used BNCT agents, it is necessary to design new systems, which can specifically accumulate and deliver a sufficient amount of 10B in tumors. In this study, we designed a 10B-BSH-containing aza-BODIPY (aza-SWIR-BSH). It enabled the efficient vectorization of clinically used 10B-BSH to the tumor, resulting in higher therapeutic activity than the 10B-BSH alone.
