B,O-chelated azadipyrromethenes as near-IR probes

Org Lett. 2008 Nov 6;10(21):4771-4. doi: 10.1021/ol8018506. Epub 2008 Sep 25.

Abstract

Complementary synthetic routes to a new class of near-IR fluorophores are described. These allow facile access (four synthetic steps) to the core fluorophore and substituted derivatives with emissions between 740 and 780 nm in good quantum yields.
