Near infrared (NIR) fluorescent molecules with light absorption and emission above 700 nm are important for noninvasive and deep-tissue imaging for disease diagnosis and imaging-guided surgery. Nevertheless, currently available NIR fluorophores with high fluorescence quantum yields and robust photos...
