DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201501779 developed as the most useful T 1-weighted MRI agents. Also, prototypes of UCNPs coupled with superparamagnetic iron oxide NPs (SPION) have been widely applied in UCL/T 2-MRI contrast agents because of their large magnetic moment.[8] However, there are still many challenges needed to be addressed for these systems, such as the toxicity of Gd 3+ ions, and the destabilization and agglomeration of the core–shell UCNP@ Fe xO y NPs, which may precludes their clinical applications.[9] Consequently, there is an emergent requirement to develop novel UCL/MRI contrast agents with easier preparation and functionalization, less biotoxicity, better biocompatibility, and biodegradability.It is worth mentioning that recent work has successfully integrated UCNPs and MOFs into the well-defined structure via encapsulation of UCNPs within MOFs.[10] Inspired by this, here we adopt a different strategy, that is, combination of single NaYF 4: Yb, Er UCNP core into Fe-MIL-101_NH 2 NMOF [11] shell, to construct a nanocomposite material to be used as a UCL/MRI tracer. The octahedral core–shell UCNP@ Fe-MIL-101_NH 2 nanostructures were synthesized using a two-step method. We have found that the core–shell nanocomposites can simultaneously present the NIR optical property of the UCNP cores and the T 2-MRI property of the MOF shells. The surface amino groups of the core–shell NPs are conveniently modified with poly (ethylene glycol)-2-amino ethyl ether acetic acid (NH 2-PEGCOOH) and folic acid (FA), resulting in PEGylated core–shell UCNP@ Fe-MIL-101_NH 2@ PEG-FA nanostructures (UMP-FA for short) that display FA moieties. UMP-FAs nanocomposites are tested for UCL/T 2-MRI dual-mode imaging targeted at KB cells (overexpressing the folate receptor (Fr)) and KB-tumorbearing mice.
