TL;DR: A molecule that transfers energy through bonds from a donor to an acceptor was prepared with a pH sensitive donor function (fluorescein) and this probe was used to image a conjugate of the probe with bovine serum albumin that was imported into endosomes or in the cytosol using the noncovalently bound carrier.

TL;DR: Complementary synthetic routes to a new class of near-IR fluorophores are described, which allow facile access to the core fluorophore and substituted derivatives with emissions between 740 and 780 nm in good quantum yields.

TL;DR: This study was performed to enhance understanding of these materials and ways in which they may be used in dye cassette systems, and correlations between substituent effects, UV absorbance, fluorescence emissions, and quantum yields were made.
