Abstract

Croconaine dyes have been repeatedly mentioned in scientific literature for their applications in imaging and photothermal therapy. However, they have not been adequately researched and represented compared to their more well-known analog, squaraine dyes. Although croconaine dyes exhibit favorable properties such as absorption in the near infra-red region and thermal stability upon laser light irradiation, the full realization of these properties for potential applications has not gained considerable attention. While numerous reviews on squaraine dyes are available, the corresponding number for croconaine dyes remains relatively insignificant. The current study aims to revisit the long-known oxocarbon analog, citing literature concerning its applications in various fields, especially analyte detection, photothermal therapy, and biological theranostics, thereby re-establishing its significance.

重新审视 Croconaine 染料：一睹其在生物成像、治疗和金属检测中的应用

摘要

Croconaine 染料因其在成像和光热治疗中的应用而在科学文献中被多次提及。然而，与更知名的类似方酸菁染料相比，它们尚未得到充分的研究和展示。尽管克可卡因染料表现出良好的性能，例如近红外区域的吸收和激光照射时的热稳定性，但这些性能的潜在应用的完全实现尚未引起足够的关注。虽然有大量关于方酸菁染料的评论，但可可酸染料的相应数量仍然相对微不足道。目前的研究旨在重新审视久负盛名的碳类似物，引用有关其在各个领域的应用的文献，特别是分析物检测、光热疗法和生物治疗诊断学，从而重新确立其重要性。
