Abstract

Abstract : A dendritic hybrid complex bearing a polyoxometalate core that performs dual micellar structure was used as a carrier to uptake cationic fluorescent dye, forming a luminescent complex. The uniform size (5−6 nm), definite molecular weight, and precise chemical composition make the dye‐loaded complex a bimodal probe for in vivo imaging. Moreover, both in vivo fluorescence and magnetic resonance measurement further confirmed that the complex acts as a liver‐specific contrast agent for clinical diagnosis.
