Abstract
Activatable fluorophores with emission beyond 1000 nm have the potential to enable high contrast imaging in complex in vivo settings. However, there are few scaffolds that can be applied to this challenge. Here we detail the synthesis and evaluation of benzo[c,d]indole-substituted norcyanines that enable pH responsive fluorescence imaging in the long wavelength (>1150 nm) range. A key component of our molecular design is the installation of a hydrophilic substituted quaternary amine in the central dihydropyridine ring system. A compound with a C4'-phenyl substituent, but not the C4'-protio homologue, exhibits absorbance maxima of 740 nm and 1130 nm in basic and acidic media, respectively, with evidence of J-aggregate-like properties. These two distinct absorbances enabled ratiometric imaging of probe internalization in a tumor model. Overall, these studies provide a new class of activatable long-wavelength responsive fluorophores with promising photophysical properties.

Abstract
Cyanines derived from heptamethines were mainly discussed regarding their functionalization to broaden the solubility in different surroundings exhibiting either hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties and to tailor made the ΔG et photopysical properties with respect to absorption and fluorescence. Electrochemical properties were additionally considered for some selected examples. The cyanines chosen comprised as end groups either indolenine, benzo[e]- or benzo[cd]indolium pattern, which facilitated to shift the absorption between 750-1000 nm. This enabled their use in applications with light sources emitting in the near-infrared (NIR) region selected from high power LEDs or lasers with line-shaped focus. The absorbers considered were discussed regarding their function as sensitizer for applications related to Chemistry 4.0 standards. These were mainly photopolymer coatings, which can be found for applications in the graphic industry or to protect selected substrates. The huge release of heat on demand upon turning ON or OFF the NIR light source enables them for photothermal treatment in processes requesting heat to initiate either chemical (activated reactions) or physical (melting, evaporation) events.
