Abstract

As shown in article number 1902115, Srinivas Banala and co-workers have developed PyBODIPYs as a novel class of near-infrared quenchers for photoacoustic imaging (PAI). The pyrrole conjugation redshifts the absorption maxima, quenches the fluorescence emission completely and exhibits a strong PAI signal due to an intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer. These results will open further opportunities to tune the absorption and emission properties of fluorophores for biomedical applications.
