Ultralong purely organic aqueous phosphorescence supramolecular polymer for targeted tumor cell imaging

Room-temperature phosphorescence has attracted attention for bioimaging, but quenching in aqueous systems is an issue. Here, the authors report on the synthesis of a water soluble organic phosphorescent polymer and demonstrate application is cancer cell targeting and imaging.
