Ferrocene‐Functionalized Black Phosphorus Nanoplatform Enables Targeted and Prolonged MRI Visualization of Atherosclerotic Plaques

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Aminoferrocene is employed to modify black phosphorus, generating stable phosphorus radicals (FcP). The FcP is then functionalized with hyaluronic acid (HA) to produce the HA‐FcP radical complex, thereby developing a novel, highly efficient, sensitive, long‐lasting, and low‐heavy‐metal‐content radical contrast agent for targeted imaging of ...
