Novel thiocarbonyl derivatives (NIS and CRNS) with excellent ROS generation abilities are synthesized and studied as potential photosensitizers for one- and two-photon excited photodynamic therapy. In particular, NIS-Me and CRNS display outstanding phototoxicity toward HeLa cells under two-photon excitation (800 nm) with negligible dark toxicity.
