A precise and complete thermodynamic, Raman spectroscopic, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) optical characterization of the deltic, squaric, and croconic cyclic oxocarbon acids is obtained using theoretical solid-state methods employing very demanding calculation parameters. The computed fundamental thermodynamic properties include the isobaric

The development of tumor acidic microenvironment-responsive theranostic agents is a research hotspot. Herein, we developed highly photostable amphiphilic croconium dye-anchored red blood cell membrane vesicle (denoted as LET-5) for tumor pH-responsive near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and photoacoustic (PA) duplex imaging-guided photothermal

Polymeric nanomaterials made from amphiphilic block copolymers are increasingly used in the treatment of tumor tissues. In this work, we firstly synthesized the amphiphilic block copolymer PBnMA-b-P(BAPMA-co-PEGMA) via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using benzyl methacrylate (BnMA), poly (ethylene
