Provided are azido-BODIPY compounds of formula (I), cyclooctyne-based fluorogenic probes of formula (IV), and activity-based probes of formula (VI). These compounds undergo azide-alkyne cycloadditions (AAC) with to form triazolyl products. The provided compounds are useful for detection and imaging of alkyne-, or azide-containing molecules. Methods for detection and imaging biomolecules using compounds of the present disclosure are disclosed.

An azido-BODIPY probe for glycosylation: Initiation of strong fluorescence upon triazole formation
We have designed a low fluorescent azido-BODIPY-based probe AzBOCEt (Az10) that undergoes copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with alkynes to yield strongly fluorescent triazole derivatives. The fluorescent quantum yield of a triazole product T
