An efficient fluorescence turn-on probe for amyloid detection in the extreme near-infrared region (>750 nm) with an exceptional red-shift in the absorption maxima is reported.
Novel orthogonally arranged Ir(iii) porphyrin-aza-BODIPY conjugates exhibit strong absorbance in the near infrared region and have unusually high singlet oxygen quantum yields, since they act as unique molecules rather than as dyads.
Lanthanides (LnIII) are well known for their characteristic emission in the Near-Infrared Region (NIR). However, direct excitation of lanthanides is not feasible as described by Laporte’s parity selection rule. Here,...
