Phototheranostics with second near-infrared (NIR-II) imaging and photothermal effect have become a burgeoning biotechnology for tumor diagnosis precise treatment. As important parameters of phototheranostic agents (PTAs), fluorescence quantum yield (QY) conversion efficiency (PCE) are usually considered as pair contradictions that is difficult to be simultaneously enhanced. Herein, fluorination strategy designing A-D-A type PTAs synchronously improved QY PCE proposed. Experimental results show the molar extinction coefficient (ε), NIR-II QY, all fluorinated nanoparticles (NPs) definitely compared chlorinated counterparts. Theoretical calculation demonstrate can maximize electrostatic potential difference by virtue high electronegativity fluorine, which may increase intra/intermolecular D-A interactions, tighten molecule packing, further promote ε, ultimately leading enhanced PCE. In these PTA NPs, FY6-NPs display emission extended 1400 nm highest (4.2%) (80%). These features make perform well in high-resolution vasculature imaging-guided therapy (PTT) tumors.
