New paper: Heptamethine fluorophore modification
8/8/2024 Our work on heptamethine modification using aryllithium reagents gets published in JACS Au! Aryllithium reagents are frequently used in making “xanthene dyes“, which are usually green to yellow fluorescent. Here we apply the similar strategy to “heptamethine dyes“, which are near-infrared dyes. The longer… Read More »New paper: Heptamethine fluorophore modification
