Abstract
In this chapter, we describe a generalizable strategy to obtain a high PA output platform that is optimized for ratiometric imaging. Our approach entails conformationally restricting pendant aryl rings on the aza-BODIPY core to enhance orbital overlap which consequently increases the extinction coefficient. This strategy can potentially be applied to other dye platforms to enhance their signal intensity. We provide detailed protocols for the synthesis, in vitro characterization, and in vivo application.
