Bright Near-Infrared Fluorophores Based on Squaraines by Unexpected Halogen Effects

A lucky chance: An unexpected halogen effect afforded novel squaraine‐based bright near‐infrared (NIR) fluorophores with nearly total transparency in the visible region and bright emission in the NIR region beyond 900 nm (see picture).
