BOPHYs versus BODIPYs: A comparison of their performance as effective multi-function organic dyes.

ABSTRACT: The computationally-aided photophysical and lasing properties of a selected battery of BOPHYs are described and compared to those of related BODIPY counterparts. The present joined theoretical-experimental study helps to put into context the weaknesses and strengths of both dye families under different irradiation conditions. The chemical versatility of the BOPHY scaffold has been also comparatively explored to modulate key photonic properties towards the development of red-emitting dyes, chiroptical dyes and singlet oxygen photosensitizers. Thus, BOPHY BINOLation by fluorine substitution with enantiopure BINOLs endows the BOPHY chromophore with chiroptical activity, as supporting by the simulated circular dichroism, decreasing deeply its fluorescent response due to the promotion of fluore
