The thiol‐substituted B 12 ‐cluster mercaptoundecahydro‐ closo ‐dodecaborate Na 2 [B 12 H 11 SH ] ( BSH ) was successfully attached to a poly(amido)amine ( PAMAM ) dendrimer, which contains a bis(decyloxy)decane core. The physical modification of single‐walled carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT s) with dendrimer( SB 12 ) 4 afforded a SWCNT / dendrimer( SB 12 ) 4 nanohybrid that exhibited NIR ‐I‐to‐ NIR ‐ II fluorescence. Herein, we describe a promising strategy for in vivo imaging of boron clusters that may be widely applicable to boron neutron capture therapy.
