B,O-chelated azadipyrromethenes as near-IR probes.

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.
