Chromenylium and Flavylium Polymethine Fluorophores Light Up the Shortwave Infrared Region
. Finally, we propose that excitation-multiplexed image-guided surgery in the SWIR region can advance existing clinical technologies. Broadly, we anticipate chromenylium and flavylium fluorophores to continue to light up the SWIR region, signaling a new era in optical imaging.
