Synthesis, Photophysics, Electrochemistry and Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of PEG-Modified BODIPY dyes in Organic and Aqueous Solutions.

ABSTRACT: A set polyethylene glycol (PEG) appended BODIPY architectures (BOPEG1 - BOPEG3) have been prepared and studied in CH₂Cl₂, H₂O:CH₃CN (1:1) and aqueous solutions. BOPEG1 and BOPEG2 both contain a short PEG chain and differ in substitution about the BODIPY framework. BOPEG3 is comprised of a fully substituted BODIPY moiety linked to a PEG polymer that is roughly 13 units in length. The photophysics and electrochemical properties of these compounds have been thoroughly characterized in CH₂Cl₂ and aqueous CH₃CN solutions. The behavior of BOPEG1 - BOPEG3 correlates with established rules of BODIPY stability based on substitution about the BODIPY moiety. ECL for each of these compounds
