Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) azacalixphyrins bearing aryl substituents strongly impacting the physico-chemical properties of the macrocycles were designed, enabling hyperchromic and bathochromic shifts of the absorption compared to their N-alkylated analogues. This engineering enhances the photoacoustic response under NIR excitation, making azacalixphyrins promising organic contrast agents that reach the 800-1000 nm range.
