Description Here we report on carbon monoxide-photoreleasable compounds (photoCORMs) that combine heptamethine cyanine and flavonol chromophores and are activated upon irradiation with near-infrared light. Excellent CO-release yields and uncaging cross sections in aqueous solutions, enhanced water solubilities thanks to polar substituents or a host-guest approach using cucurbit[7]uril are demonstrated. The hybrids display outstanding biocompatibility and diverse, structure-dependent cell penetrability and internalization.
