A new substitution pattern of BF azadipyrromethene (azaBODIPY) dyes was obtained by phenanthrene fusion through a key palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H activation reaction. These [a]-phenanthrene-fused azaBODIPYs have a near planar structure of the phenanthrene-fused azadipyrromethene core in the crystalline state. The chromophore absorbs (log ε > 5) and fluoresces (ϕ = 0.32-0.38) strongly above 700 nm with excellent photostability and may be used as an attractive bright NIR bioimaging agent.
