A near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent sensor 1 composed of an aza-boron-dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) core covalently bound to two di-2-picolylamine moieties was conceived for Cu detection in aqueous solutions. Spectroscopic properties and binding abilities with several metal ions were investigated in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4): acetonitrile (95 : 5 v/v) with Triton X-100 via fluorometric titrations. The fluorescence of sensor 1 was quenched selectively by cupric ions in the presence of alkali- and transition-metal-ions. A detection limit of 13 ppb was measured for this system, and this is significantly lower than permissible levels of Cu in drinking water according to the guidelines described by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by the World Health Organization (WHO). Application of the sensor in detecting Cu in HepG2 cells was demonstrated.

Bright near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes play an important role in in vivo optical imaging. Here, renal-clearable nanodots prepared from Aza-BODIPY are reported fluorophores for multiphoton brain imaging. The design of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type conjugated structures endowed the fluorophores with large three-photon absorption cross-section for both 1620 and 2200 nm excitation.

Aza-BODIPYs represent a class of fluorophores in which the π-conjugated system is rigidified and stabilized by a boron atom. A promising strategy to enhance their fluorescence properties involves replacing the boron atom with a metal ion. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a water-soluble derivative where the metal is a gallium(III) ion, termed WazaGaY (water-soluble aza-GaDIPY).

Accurate fluorescence imaging of nanocarriers in vivo remains a challenge owing to interference derived mainly from biological tissues and free probes. To address both issues, the current study explored fluorophores in the near-infrared (NIR)-II window with aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) properties to improve imaging accuracy. Candidate fluorophores with NIR-II emission, ACQ984 (λ = 984 nm) and IR-1060 (λ = 1060 nm), from the aza-BODIPY and cyanine families, respectively, were compared with the commercial fluorophore ICG with NIR-II tail emission and the NIR-I fluorophore P2 from the aza-BODIPY family.

An innovative organic small molecule with a D-A structure was synthesized by connecting triphenylamine to BODIPY via a thiophene bridge. Triphenylamine and thiophene units ingeniously modulate the balance between steric hindrance and π-π interactions around the flat aza-BODIPY core. The molecule exhibits near-infrared fluorescence absorption and emits at roughly 1100 nm, featuring a significant Stokes shift.

Conventional phototherapeutic agents are typically used in either photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT). However, efficacy is often hindered by hypoxia and elevated levels of heat shock proteins in the tumor microenvironment (TME). To address these limitations, a formylated, near-infrared (NIR)-absorbing and heavy-atom-free Aza-BODIPY dye is presented that exhibits both type-I and type-II PDT actions with a high yield of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and manifests efficient photothermal conversion by precise adjustments to the conjugate structure and electron distribution, leading to a large amount of ROS production even under severe hypoxia.
