Abstract

Near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials have great potential in the field of bioimaging due to their unique advantages of strong tissue penetration and weak light scattering in biological tissues. In this study, a donor-acceptor (D-A) structured boron difluoride β-diketonate complex (TPA-BF2-CN) was designed and synthesized through the strategy of enhancing intramolecular charge transfer. This complex exhibits solvent-dependent luminescent properties. It demonstrates good luminescence efficiency in dilute solution and solid state with efficiencies of 11.1% and 5.9%, respectively. The maximum emission wavelength peaks at 760 nm, falling within the NIR range. The complex also possesses mechanochromic properties with a redshift of emission wavelength by 107 nm after grinding. TPA-BF2-CN exhibits dual emission fluorescence phenomenon with emission peaks located in the blue light region at 400 nm and the NIR region at 760 nm with an emission wavelength range of 690~850 nm in the NIR region. Compared to single-channel fluorescent molecules, it has the advantage of avoiding interference from environmental factors. Cell imaging studies demonstrate good compatibility of TPA-BF2-CN with HeLa cells, and NIR emission signals can be observed throughout the cytoplasmic region of HeLa cells. Therefore, TPA-BF2-CN can serve as a fluorescent probe for live cell imaging.
