Conjugated oligoelectrolyte harnessed polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane as light-up hybrid nanodot for two-photon fluorescence imaging of cellular nucleus.
Adv Mater. 2010; (37): 4186-9
A water-soluble organic/inorganic hybrid nanodot based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and conjugated oligoelectrolyte is designed and synthesized for two-photon fluorescence imaging of cellular nucleus, which takes advantage of its small size (∼3.3 nm) that imparts nucleus permeability and substantial DNA-enhanced two-photon excited fluorescence that allows illuminating the nucleus with a high contrast.
