Design, Synthesis, and In Vivo Imaging of a Stable Xanthene-Based Dye with NIR-II Emission up to 1450 nm
Abstract
The development of long-wavelength near-infrared II (NIR-II, 900–1700 nm) dyes is highly desirable but challenging. To achieve both red-shifted absorption/emission and superior in vivo imaging capabilities, a donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) xanthene core was strategically modified by extending π-conjugated double bonds and enhancing electron-donating properties. Two dyes named VIX-1250 and VIX-1450 were synthesized and exhibited notably red-shifted absorption/emission peaks at 942/1250 and 1098/1450 nm, respectively. Among them, VIX-1450 demonstrated superior chemo- and photostability even at such long wavelengths. Fluorescent angiography using VIX-1450 micelles enabled high-clarity blood vessel imaging with a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), underscoring that the dye’s large Stokes shift (352 nm), good brightness (13 M –1 cm –1 ), and long wavelength served as key factors for high-quality in vivo biosensing. Additionally, VIX-1450 combined with ICG for dual-color imaging achieved near-zero optical cross talk, enabling different organ labeling. This study provides a new direction for the design of long-wavelength organic dyes.

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.
