Highly luminescent, fluorinated semiconducting polymer dots for cellular imaging and analysis.

ABSTRACT: A highly fluorescent fluorinated semiconducting polymer dot (Pdot) with a quantum yield of up to 49% was developed. The fluorinated Pdot was eight times brighter in cell-labeling applications than its non-fluorinated counterpart, and was rod shaped rather than spherical.
