Multifunctional manganese-doped Prussian blue nanoparticles for two-photon photothermal therapy and magnetic resonance imaging

Prussian Blue (PB) type nanoparticles are a new family of inorganic nano-objects made of transition metal ions or lanthanides assembled through cyano-bridging ligands in nano-sized architectures. They have attracted a great deal of interest during the past ten years due to their specific molecule-based nature that is different compared to conventional inorganic nanoparticles [1 –4]. They present a remarkable potential for biomedical applications due to many advantages from their flexible molecule-based structure, adjustable composition, tunable physical and chemical properties, porosity, high stability in aqueous media even at low pH, and biocompatibility [5].
