BOINPYs: facile synthesis and photothermal properties triggered by photoinduced nonadiabatic decay.

ABSTRACT: Photothermal agents (PTAs) represent a core component of photothermal therapy (PTT). However, the current photothermal dyes are almost derived from well-known chromophores such as porphyrins, cyanine, and BODIPYs, and the design of new chromophores as versatile building blocks for PTA is considerably challenging because of the complexity of the modulation of excited-states. Herein, we adopted the concept of photoinduced nonadiabatic decay (PIND) to develop a photothermal boron-containing indoline-3-one-pyridyl chromophore (viz. BOINPY) with a facile one-pot synthesis and high yields. BOINPY derivatives exhibited specific features that fully address the concerns related to the design of PTA. The behavior and mechanism of BOINPYs for generating heat through the conical intersection pa
