Dual emissive borane–BODIPY dyads: molecular conformation control over electronic properties and fluorescence response towards fluoride ions?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2012-12-10 DOI: 10.1039/C2CC38352G

Abstract

Facile synthesis of two new dimesitylboryl appended BODIPYs is reported. The two dyads have similar fluorescent chromophores but differ in their molecular conformations. They exhibit dual fluorescence, intramolecular energy transfer between boryl and BODIPY chromophores and different fluorescence responses (emission enhancement and quenching) upon fluoride binding.
