Near‐infrared organic nanoparticles with high fluorescence quantum yield, excellent reactive oxygen species generation efficiency, large two‐photon absorption cross section, and good biocompatibility with fluorophores based on benzo[1,2‐ b :4,5‐ b '] dithiophene 1,1,5,5‐tetraoxide are fabricated by Zujin Zhao, Bin Liu, and Ben Zhong Tang in article number 1706945 . Demonstrated applications are targeted photodynamic ablation of cancer cells and in vivo two‐photon fluorescence visualization of brain blood vasculature.
