NIR fluorescent ytterbium compound for in vivo fluorescence molecular imaging

We have developed a new NIR fluorescent probe based on an ytterbium(III) (E)‐1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl‐diazenyl)naphthalen‐2‐ol (PAN) complex. This probe emits near‐infrared luminescence derived from the Yb ion through excitation of the PAN moiety with visible light (λex = 530 nm, λem = 975 nm). The results s...

Description
Summary:We have developed a new NIR fluorescent probe based on an ytterbium(III) (E)‐1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl‐diazenyl)naphthalen‐2‐ol (PAN) complex. This probe emits near‐infrared luminescence derived from the Yb ion through excitation of the PAN moiety with visible light (λex = 530 nm, λem = 975 nm). The results support the possible utility of the probe for in vivo fluorescence molecular imaging. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
