By a stepwise synthesis strategy biofunctionalized Pyrrolopyrrole Cyanines (PPCy) with an asymmetric substitution pattern were obtained. These exhibit extremely strong and narrowband NIR absorption and fluorescence. Internalization of a peptide bound PPCy is demonstrated using live cell microscopy.
