Optical imaging and phototherapy in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 900–1700 nm) can reduce tissue auto-fluorescence and photon scattering, which facilitates higher spatial resolution and deeper tissue penetration depth for solid tumor theranostics. Herein, a polycyclic naphthalenediimide (...
