This tutorial review presents some recent developments in the construction and applications
of cassettes based on resonance energy transfer between fluorescent dyes in the visible …

4, 4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacenes(hereafter referred to as BODIPYs) are a class
of fluorescent dyes that are finding an increasing number of applications in both the …

Remarkably versatile chemistry of Bodipy dyes allows the design and straightforward
synthesis of multivalent-multitopic derivatives, which, with judicious selection of metal ion …

Electronic energy transfer (EET) plays a critical role in many biological processes and is
used by nature to direct energy to a site where chemical reactions need to be initiated. Such …

An artificial light-harvesting array, comprising 21 discrete chromophores arranged in a
rational manner, has been synthesized and characterized fully. The design strategy follows …

1, 3, 5, 7-Tetramethyl-Bodipy derivatives undergo Knoevenagel-type condensations with
aromatic aldehydes to ultimately yield tetrastyryl-Bodipy derivatives. The resulting dyes …

BODIPY dyes constitute one of the most efficient class of fluorescent molecules, yet their
absorption and emission signatures are hardly predictable with theoretical tools. Here, we …

A theoretical and experimental study on the iodination of BODIPY dyes with different
degrees of substitution has been developed. Polyhalogenated BODIPYs synthesized in this …

Oxalyl-tethered pyrroles can be doubly bridged with two difluoroboron chelating units to
yield bright orange dyes. Interestingly, in polar organic solvents, the addition of fluoride and …

A series of donor− spacer− acceptor triads has been synthesized and fully characterized.
Both donor and acceptor units are built from boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes but they …
