Photostable, hydrophilic and functional near infrared quaterrylenediimide-cored dendrimers for biomedical imaging.
We describe a new class of near infrared (NIR) fluorescent dendrimeric quaterrylenediimide dyes with high photostability and hydrophilicity, functionality, as well as low cytotoxicity.
