Meso-Zn(ii)porphyrins of tailored functional groups for intensifying the photoacoustic signal

Abstract

<p>Porphyrins of systematically varying photoacoustic emission are designed by DFT and synthesized by controlling their molecular structures.</p>

Characterization of Triphenylamine and Ferrocenyl Donor‐π‐Donor Vinyl BODIPY Derivatives as Photoacoustic Contrast Agents†

“…Encouragingly, there has been a growing interest from each synthetic, photophysical, and applied imaging perspectives toward the development of tailored MPACs. In our previous studies, we have reported on the linear versus nonlinear photoacoustic response for a variety of synthetic curcuminoids, porphyrins and select BODIPY’s optimized toward NIR absorption (8‐14). While a nonlinear PA contrast enhancement represents an exciting progression of MPAC design, it is limited to ex vivo PA microscopy or alternative high laser fluence applications (15).…”
