Copper sulfide (Cu7S4) nanoparticles coated with an ultra-high payload (~5.0 × 107 fluorine atoms per particle) of fluorinated ligands (oleylamine functionalized 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde, 19FOAm) exhibited a single intense 19F magnetic resonance (MR) signal and efficient near infrared photothermal performance in water medium. In vivo assessment revealed strong 19F MR signals at cancerous lesions and effective inhibition of tumor growth after photothermal treatment, indicating the great potential of these fabricated nanoprobes for simultaneous 19F MR imaging and photothermal therapy.
