Abstract

Abstract : Efficient morphology modulation of a red AIEgen from pristine microsized rods to nanospheres is achieved via encapsula ting QM‐2 (quinolinemalononitrile‐2) into hybrid micelles. This novel reagent shows great potential in tumor‐targeted bioimaging because of its monodispersion in aqueous systems, the uniform diameter of ≈30 nm, enhanced fluorescence brightness with a large Stokes shift of 190 nm, and strongly increased biocompatibility and photostability.
