Abstract
Near-infrared lumiphores are advantageous for biological applications, as their emission falls within the tissue-transparent region. However, these dyes suffer from low quantum yields as a consequence of their low transition energy. Heteroatom substitution has recently been successfully employed to bathochromically shift emission in various dye scaffolds while maintaining bright emission.
