Photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds great potential in cancer treatment due to the advantages of non-invasiveness, negligible side-effect, and high spatiotemporal selectivity. Porphyrin is the most widely used photosensitizer in clinical treatment. However, its PDT efficacy is always limited by the undesired aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) effect originating from the planar and rigid structure. In this work, a linear polymeric porphyrin with "structure defects" was developed to overcome the ACQ effect for most of the photosensi
