Synthesis and characterization of near-infrared heptamethine indocyanine dyes and intercalated nanocomposites

This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of a number of novel near-infrared heptamethine indocyanine dyes containing various aromatic chromophores. A known heptamethine indocyanine dye functionalized with a carboxylic acid moiety was employed as a parent dye for subsequent derivatiza...
