    Abstract:
    In vivo bioimaging using shortwave infrared (SWIR) (1000-2000 nm) molecular dyes enables deeper penetration and higher contrast compared to visible and near-infrared-I (NIR-I, 700-900 nm) dyes. Developing new SWIR molecules is still quite challenging. This study developed SRHCYs, a panel of fluorescent dyes based on hemicyanine, with adjustable absorbance (830-1144 nm) and emission (886-1217 nm) wavelength. The photophysical attributes of these dyes are precisely tailored by strengthening the donor parts and extending polymethine chains. SRHCY-3, with its clickable azido group, was chosen for high-performance imaging of blood vessels in living mice, enabling the precise detection of brain and lung cancer. The combination of these probes achieved in vivo multicolor imaging with negligible optical crosstalk. This report presents a series of SWIR hemicyanine dyes with promising spectroscopic properties for high-contrast bioimaging and multiplexing detection.
