Pyrrolopyrrole Cyanine Dyes: A New Class of Near‐Infrared Dyes and Fluorophores
Abstract
NIRer there: Pyrrolopyrrole cyanine (PPCys) dyes, a new class of near‐infrared (NIR) fluorophores, are obtained by condensation of heteroarylacetonitrile and diketopyrrolopyrrole compounds (see picture). Complexation with BF 2 or BPh 2 yields strongly fluorescent, photostable NIR dyes that show high absorption cross‐sections and fluorescence quantum yields. Furthermore, alteration of the heterocycle can tune the main absorption between λ = 684 and 864 nm.magnified image Pyrrolopyrrole cyanine (PPCy) dyes are presented as a novel class of near‐infrared (NIR) chromophores, which are synthesized in a condensation reaction of diketopyrrolopyrrole with heteroarylacetonitrile compounds. Their optical properties are marked by strong and narrow‐band NIR absorptions. Complexation products with BF 2 and BPh 2 show strong NIR fluorescence and hardly any absorption in the visible range. We synthesized a series of new PPCys that differ only in the heterocyclic peripheral groups of the chromophore. With this strategy, the absorption spectra can be tuned between 684 and 864 nm, while high fluorescence quantum yields are maintained. The influence of the heterocycle on the optical properties of the dyes is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
