International audience; We describe an expedient access to a 5', 6', 7'-trifluoro dihydroxanthene-hemicyanine fused scaffold in 2 steps and 54% overall yield from the corresponding salicylic aldehyde. A 6'-regioselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reaction with a wide range of nitrogen, sulfur or selenium nucleophiles then gives access to 16 near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores emitting in the 710-750 nm range. We also report the experimental and theoretical photophysical investigations of these unique optical agents that include the first series of 6'-heavy atom substituted dihydroxanthenes, extending the pool of polyfluorinated markers for biomedical and material applications.
