N,N′-bicarbazole-benzothiadiazole-based conjugated porous organic polymer for reactive oxygen species generation in live cells†
Abstract
A π-conjugated porous organic polymer (BCzBz) was fabricated employing N,N′-bicarbazole and benzothiadiazole as molecular building units exhibiting broad visible light absorption. The photostable, water-dispersible, and cytocompatible BCzBz was demonstrated as an efficient probe for intracellular reactive oxygen species generation under photoirradiation.
