We investigated a series of Mn 2+ -Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles Na z Mn x Fe 1- x [Fe(CN) 6 ] 1- y □ y · n H 2 O of similar size, surface state and cubic morphology with various amounts of Mn 2+ synthesized through a one step self-assembly reaction. We demonstrated by a combined experimental-theoretical approach that during the synthesis, Mn 2+ substituted Fe 3+ up to a Mn/Na-Mn-Fe ratio of 32 at% in the PB structure, while for higher amounts, the Mn 2 [Fe(CN) 6 ] analogue is obtained. For comparison, the post-synthetic insertion of Mn2+ in PB nanoparticles was also investigated and completed with Monte-Carlo simulations to probe the plausible adsorption sites. The photothermal conversion efficiency ( η ) of selected samples was determined and showed a clear dependence on the Mn 2+ amount with a maximum efficiency for a Mn/Na-Mn-Fe ratio of 10 at% associated with a dependence on the nanoparticle concentration. Evaluation of the in vitro photothermal properties of these nanoparticles performed on triple negative human breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231) cells by using continuous and pulsed laser irradiation confirm their excellent PTT efficiency permitting low dose use.
