Cyanine‐Doped Lanthanide Metal–Organic Frameworks for Near‐Infrared II Bioimaging

Developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with strong near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) emission is significant for biomedical research but highly challenging. So far there are no MOFs reported for NIR-II imaging in vivo due to their poor NIR-II emission efficiency. Herein, a strategy is proposed to prepare MOFs with strong NIR-II emission, by integrating NIR dye IR-3C and Ln
